The Destiny 2 Dawning Event Presents An Opportunity to Feed a Good Boy

The Destiny 2 Dawning Event has been around for years. Players get the chance to bake cookies, deliver them to characters in the universe, and throw snowballs at combatants. In the 2025 Dawning, snowballs are coming to the Crucible. Two new members of the Destiny universe can receive cookies during this year’s event: Rebecca Dean from Kepler and Archie, the Guardian’s favorite robotic dog. The Dawning runs from December 16 and will run until January 6, 2026.

Dawning Snowball Fight

Snowball Fight is coming to the Crucible for the 2025 Dawning event. Players have the opportunity to throw powered-up snowballs at opposing Guardians.
