With the Pokémon Go Winter Holiday event ongoing, Niantic has a new piece of ticketed content that players can use to get some exclusive content through the end of the year. This time it’s a set of Frosty Festivities Timed Research, gameplay bonuses, and an exclusive avatar pose. 

Between Dec. 18 to 25 and Dec. 25 to 31, players can experience both parts of the Winter Holiday 2023 event. It will feature the Pokémon Go debut for Cetoddle, multiple Pokémon dressed in festive costumes, and other Ice-type content like Kyurem appearing in five-star raids. And, while most of it is available for free, you can pay $5 to unlock the event-exclusive Winter Festivities Timed Research and all of the bonus content that comes with it.

All Pokémon Go Winter Holiday: Frosty Festivities Timed Research rewards, bonuses, and is it worth buying?

As part of your $5 ticket purchase, the Winter Holiday: Frosty Festivities Timed Research also gives you double Candy for catching Pokémon. Pair this with the bonuses you can get from the free Winter Wishes Timed Research and you can get double XP or Stardust for catching Pokémon too. That alone makes this ticket worth buying if you are interested in the event.
