If your a collector like myself, Check out below!... omg omg omg! /excited!

Companion Pets
Celestial Dragon - Summons or dismisses a Celestial Dragon.
The Pet Bombling and Lil' Smoky non-combat pets are no longer Bind-on-Pickup.


Mounts
Celestial Steed - Summons and dismisses a Celestial Steed. This mount changes depending on your Riding skill and location. (Note: I don't think the model is in the patch file yet)
Frosty Flying Carpet - Summons and dismisses a Frosty Flying Carpet. This is a very fast rug. Can only be used in Outland and Northrend. Requires 425 skill in tailoring to ride.

And a Two Man Rocket that is dead sexy :D


And if you ever had trouble getting a group for your holiday events

Dungeons & Raids
Holiday bosses (such as Ahune for the Fire Festival) will now be accessible through the Dungeon Finder.

Players must use the Dungeon Finder or speak to special holiday NPCs in the world to queue up and access these bosses.
Upon accepting a queue for any holiday boss, the party will be ported directly to the necessary area for confronting that boss.
The previous summoning criteria for these bosses have been removed. Players can queue up for and fight each World Event boss as many times as they want for any standard loot that they may drop.
All rare holiday items (such as The Horseman's Reins) will have a chance of being found in holiday-themed loot troves which will drop once for each player in the party no more than once per day, in the same manner that doing the Random Dungeon daily quest will provide a specific reward the first time it is completed in a day.


Not sure if this has already been posted, but I was just to excited not to share the good news.
For more info head over to MMO if you want SS or any reading :)

Hmmm. Is the rocket a ground mount or a air mount ? They did mention multi person air mounts would be coming.

I hope the rocket is a flyer. I also hope it's another bind on use mount from an engi schematic so I can either craft or buy one for my hunter sometime (probably in the far off future lol). As for the other mount (if it's anything like the cool little dragon pet) I can't wait to see what it will look like. :D

Didn't hear about the rocket yet, that looks pretty nice. You can bet I'm gonna make SO many dirty jokes off of this.

"Want to ride my rocket?"

"Oh yes, I've LOVE to take a flight on that large penis shaped thing."
"Ok this is too easy. GTFO my rocket."
"*cry*"

I also am gonna love holiday events now with this queue thing. Some people were such jackasses, just wasting other's summons. Not to mention, if you try to do it with strangers later into the event's time, it's hard as heck to find people who want to come. Just a bleh bleh bleh task.

I'm curious as to what the Celestial Steed will look like.. I'm guessing some sort of horse?

And that is rather cool that they're making the holiday bosses queue-able. ^_^

Aw gawd, pleeze!

The motorcycle was hard to swallow for us roleplayers, especially with that "PWND" license plate.
And now a rocket?
Gimme a break, Blizz...

This particular roleplayer has no problem with the motorcycle, Karathyriel. In point of fact, Tahl built himself one, and is inordinately proud of it because he built it himself. So far as the "PWN" license plate is concerned, it's an easy enough thing to just pretend it's not there. I mean heck, I have to pretend that Tahl had his bike painted racing/hunter green instead of the red on the default model, so it's no big thing.

I don't know if the rocket graphic will be another engineering construct...after all, we already have two different flying machines to build, one of which is a 280% speed model. Although if the rocket is another craftable...maybe it's even faster than a turbo-charged flying machine. Hmmmmm.....
