“...Some of the Scorched will be spreading holiday cheer throughout Appalachia. Take them down to get a Holiday Gift, which you can unwrap to claim new loot!”— Inside the Vault
Some of the Scorched dress up in their most festive attire, with jingly holiday music heralding their arrival. Take them down to claim their holiday gifts. These gifts can be either low, medium, or high quality, and the rewards get better as the present tier gets higher. The Vault Dwellers can also craft their own presents. Vendor bots can sell gift wrap, a crucial component to the handmade gifts.

Presents obtained during the December 2021 run contained the following items:
Prior to the Steel Dawn update, holiday gifts could be traded between players.
^(Note) The run of this event in December 2024 encountered several technical issues and bugs. Holiday gifts did not appear to drop correctly from defeated enemies. The spawn rate of Holiday Scorched was increased and legendary items were added to their loot pool, but the higher spawns caused gameplay issues in several locations, with too many appearing in one place. On December 18, the spawn rate was reduced back to normal and it was announced on Discord that the event would be deactivated early the next day. However, Santatron remained available and gift wrap was still purchasable from train station vendors. A stack of gift wrap was also available for free in the Atomic Shop every day until January 2.
