Christmas in July returns to Big Time
Big Time has confirmed that its Christmas in July event will make a comeback next week. This time around, players will have the chance to reclaim cosmetics that had long been unavailable, with the event rolled out in waves to keep interest and participation strong.
Crafting sits at the heart of the celebration. By finishing weekly challenges and moving up the leaderboard, players collect festive rewards — a format that has consistently encouraged steady play. The studio also teased forthcoming cosmetics using color cues, building anticipation among collectors.
The event’s previous run came with a 1.2 million BIGTIME token prize pool, as players crafted items and tackled weekly missions to climb the competitive rankings. This year’s prize pool hasn’t been revealed yet, and those details are expected to arrive when the event goes live.
Crafting and cosmetics
As before, crafting is the core mechanic of the Christmas in July event. Players craft qualifying items to accumulate points and compete for rewards. Familiar seasonal content makes its return this year, giving both newcomers and longtime players a route to cosmetics that were once out of reach.
Gameplay in Big Time centers on clearing dungeons and producing BIGTIME tokens. The Hourglass artifact is key to this process, powering token generation, while cosmetics double as status symbols and functional items that unlock access to exclusive areas.
The BIGTIME token in action
The BIGTIME token operates smoothly, with no advance allocations set aside for stakeholders. Players mainly obtain it via in-game drops. The token serves a range of purposes — from upgrading items to unlocking exclusive zones — and can be traded on the Open Loot marketplace.
Prestige Portals add to the token’s usefulness, requiring particular collectible conditions before they can be opened. After being activated, players can take on bosses that boost drop rates for sought-after items, which is part of what makes events like Christmas in July so meaningful.
Ongoing seasonal events
Christmas in July is one piece of Big Time’s wider lineup of crafting competitions. Earlier events such as The Lucky 7 encourage community engagement through competitive crafting, while the VIP Program rewards committed players according to how many tokens they hold.
By bringing the event back, Big Time reinforces its seasonal engagement strategy. Players can anticipate this year’s festivities kicking off next week, where crafting will once again be the way to earn coveted holiday rewards.
