2001 Christmas event



The 2001 Christmas event was the second RuneScape holiday event. After the 2001 Halloween event, Jagex decided to do another holiday drop for Christmas, this time with Christmas crackers. Players picking them up would use them on others, and both players would receive a reward. One would get a party hat of random colour, while the other would get a completely random item, like a gold ore. At that time, party hats were only worth a few coins, and because of this many party hats were then given away, dropped or sold to the general store. Today, prices for party hats are in the hundreds of millions.
