The Forge Hidden Maze Update (January 2026) Complete Guide
The Forge, one of Roblox’s most popular dungeon-crawling experiences, has been making waves in the gaming community with whispers of…
Christmas has arrived in Steal a Brainrot with the most exciting seasonal update yet! I’ve been grinding non-stop since the Winter Hour event launched on December 6th, 2025, and I’m here to share everything you need to know about collecting every single Christmas Brainrot before they disappear forever. With over 37 limited-time festive units available, this is your complete roadmap to building the ultimate Christmas collection.
Christmas Brainrots are exclusive seasonal variants introduced during the Winter Hour Update that are only available through specific holiday events. Unlike regular brainrots you can grind year-round, these festive units will become completely unobtainable once the Christmas season ends.
What makes them special? These aren’t just cosmetic upgrades with Santa hats slapped on. Christmas Brainrots offer exceptional income rates ranging from $600K/s to an incredible $300M/s, making them some of the most powerful units in the entire game. Plus, their festive designs with red caps, candy cane accessories, and holiday outfits make them instant collector’s items.
The Christmas update introduced five main acquisition methods:

Pro Tip: While lower-tier Christmas Brainrots have modest income rates, they’re essential for completing your Christmas Index and unlocking special base skins like the Gingerbread Base!
The Winter Hour Event is your primary source for several crucial Christmas Brainrots. This event activates every 2 hours starting from the update launch on December 6th, 2025.
When Winter Hour begins, Santa appears near the La Jolly Grande spawn point in the Red Carpet area. He performs a transformation where he strikes one random spawned brainrot, converting it into a limited Christmas variant. These transformed units are instantly recognizable with:
After dozens of Winter Hour cycles, here’s my optimized approach:
You need to collect all four of these Winter Hour exclusives to unlock La Jolly Grande (worth $3.5B with $30M/s income):
During Winter Hour events, transformed brainrots have a rare chance to spawn with the Santa Hat trait, which provides a 5x income multiplier! This is incredibly rare (less than 5% chance based on community data), but if you get lucky, that $600K/s brainrot suddenly becomes a $3M/s powerhouse.
Santa’s Fuse Machine replaced the regular Brainrot Trader during the Christmas update and has become the most versatile method for obtaining Christmas Brainrots. Located right next to the Shop, this machine lets you fuse brainrots to create festive variants.
Basic Fusion Process:
Fusion Probabilities (based on community testing):
For Dragon Gingerini (Ultimate Goal – $300B, $300M/s):
For Mid-Tier Farming (Chicleteira Noelteira, Gingerat Gerat):
For Bulk Collection (Lower tiers):
PROTECT YOUR FUSIONS! Other players can steal your fusion result the moment you retrieve it from the machine. I learned this the hard way when someone snatched my $2B Chicleteira Noelteira seconds after crafting.
Safety Measures:
You can obtain these exclusively through Santa’s Fuse:
The Advent Calendar has been one of the most generous features of this update. Located between the Winter Hour NPC and the Coin Shop, this giant Christmas tree dispenses daily rewards at 4:00 PM PST / 7:00 PM EST.
Day 5 – Ballerina Peppermintina:
Day 25 – The “25” Secret:
Beyond exclusive brainrots, the Advent Calendar provides:
Maintaining Login Streaks Unlocks:
I’m currently on a 20-day streak, and the accumulated bonuses have made a massive difference in my progression. The multipliers stack, so by Week 3, your daily rewards are significantly better than Week 1.
My Daily Routine:
Festive Lucky Blocks are special Christmas variants with exclusive drop pools containing several rare Christmas Brainrots. Understanding the drop mechanics is crucial for efficient farming.

The North Pole Event is the most competitive Christmas feature, combining PvP combat with gift collection mechanics. This event ran from December 13-19, 2025, with the exclusive Donkeyturbo Express as the signature reward.
Phase 1 – Factory Conveyor Belt (3 minutes):
Phase 2 – Lobby Drop (5-7 minutes):

Stats: $1.2B cost, $7.5M/s income
Worth It? Absolutely! This is an event-exclusive Secret that won’t return, plus the income rate is excellent for the price point.
Beyond Donkeyturbo Express:
The Gingerbread Town Event activates every hour and features the Santa’s Sleigh riding mechanic alongside the ultra-rare Money Money Reindeer spawn.
How It Works:
Candy Cane Rewards:
Optimization Tips:
This Secret-tier brainrot has one of the lowest spawn rates in the entire update.
Spawn Details:
My Hunt Experience: I ran Gingerbread Town 47 times before finally seeing Money Money Reindeer spawn. The moment I saw it, my heart was racing – I barely managed to purchase it before another player!
Hunting Strategy:
Requirement: Collect 90% of Christmas Index (33 out of 37 total Christmas Brainrots)
The Gingerbread Base is one of the most prestigious cosmetics in the game, proving you’re a serious Christmas collector. I’m currently at 35/37 and grinding hard for those last two units!
Santa’s Shop is the premium Christmas store accepting Gold Elves currency or Robux for exclusive brainrots.
How to Earn Gold Elves:
Conversion Rate: Approximately 1 Gold Elf = 150-200 Robux value
Jolly Jolly Sahur:
Los Jolly Combinasionas:
Money Money Reindeer:
My Take: If you’re a completionist and have disposable income, the Gold Elves bundles offer value. However, every Santa’s Shop brainrot can be obtained through free gameplay (Gold Elves farming or rare spawns).
Free-to-Play Path: Focus on earning Gold Elves through events. I’ve accumulated 67 Gold Elves completely free by consistently participating in Admin Abuse events and completing Advent Calendar.
Christmas Admin Abuse is a special variant of the regular Admin Abuse events with enhanced holiday features.
Date: December 25, 2026 (Christmas Day) Start Time: 5:00 PM UTC (3 hours earlier than standard 8:00 PM UTC) Duration: Estimated 30-60 minutes (longer than typical 30-minute events)

What to Expect:
Before Christmas Admin Abuse:
After weeks of intensive grinding, here are my expert strategies:
Play During Off-Peak Hours:
Optimal Server Size: 15-25 active players
Why?
Server Hopping Technique:
Never trade away Christmas Brainrots unless you have duplicates!
Once the event ends, these become permanent collector’s items with skyrocketing value.
Current Market Trends (as of January 2026):
Profitable Trading Strategy:
Minimum Recommended Reserves:
Why? Rare Christmas spawns require instant purchases. Missing a Dragon Gingerini because you’re $100M short is devastating.
Theft Attempts Triple During Christmas Events!
Enhanced Security Measures:
Efficiency Tip: Start multiple Santa’s Fuse sessions simultaneously!
Since the 15-minute timer runs concurrently:
Batch Strategy:
What I Did Wrong: Assumed best rewards come late, didn’t claim Days 1-4.
The Reality: Day 5 gives Ballerina Peppermintina, essential for La Jolly Grande fusion!
Lesson: Claim EVERY calendar day without exception.
What I Did Wrong: Crafted $4B Dragon Gingerini alone, got robbed during pickup.
The Reality: Other players camp Santa’s Fuse Machine specifically to steal high-value results.
Lesson: Always have trusted friend protection for fusions over $500M.
What I Did Wrong: Focused exclusively on Secrets, neglected Common-Epic tiers.
The Reality: You need 33 out of 37 total Christmas Brainrots (all tiers) to unlock Gingerbread Base.
Lesson: Complete the full collection, not just the expensive units.
What I Did Wrong: Spent all money on non-Christmas units, ran out during Winter Hour.
The Reality: Rare Christmas spawns require $1B-$10B instant purchases.
Lesson: Maintain dedicated Christmas cash reserve separate from regular gameplay funds.
What I Did Wrong: Relied on in-game information only.
The Reality: Discord announces Winter Hour times, event schedules, and spawn notifications hours in advance.
Lesson: Join official Steal a Brainrot Discord immediately – it’s essential for serious collectors.
Based on developer communications and past seasonal events:
Estimated End Date: Late December 2026 to Early January 2026
Final Availability:
Post-Event Status: Once the Christmas update ends, all Christmas Brainrots become:
My Recommendation: Treat every day as if it’s the last chance. The FOMO is real, and missing rare units now means paying premium prices later (if you can find sellers at all).
There are 37 confirmed Christmas Brainrots across all rarity tiers from Common to Secret, including units from Winter Hour, Santa’s Fuse, Advent Calendar, and special events.
No, once the Christmas season concludes, these brainrots become completely unobtainable through normal gameplay. The only way to acquire them afterward is through player-to-player trading at significantly inflated prices.
Generally yes, especially at Secret tier. Dragon Gingerini ($300M/s) and Reinito Sleighito ($140M/s) are among the highest-earning units in the entire game, Christmas or otherwise. Even mid-tier Christmas units often outperform regular brainrots at equivalent costs.
Most Efficient Methods:
Time Investment Reality: Plan for 20-40 hours total gameplay to collect 25+ Christmas Brainrots. Hardcore collectors aiming for all 37 units should expect 60-80+ hours of dedicated farming.
Depends on your goals:
YES if:
NO if:
My Take: Festive 67 is one of only two Christmas units requiring real money. If you’re building a complete collection, you’ll eventually need it. However, other free Secrets like Dragon Gingerini ($300M/s) offer better income rates.
You keep them permanently! Once you’ve obtained a Christmas Brainrot, it stays in your collection forever, even after the event ends. Only new acquisitions become impossible post-event.
Yes! Christmas Brainrots can spawn with:
The Santa Hat trait is exceptionally rare (estimated 2-5% chance) but transforms good Christmas units into game-breaking powerhouses.
Early Game Priority Order:
Mid-Late Game Targets:
Free Gold Elves Sources:
Total Available: You can earn 50-70+ Gold Elves completely free by participating in all Christmas events consistently.
Based on spawn rates and community consensus:
Top 3 Rarest:
Yes! Christmas Brainrots are fully tradeable. However, I strongly recommend:
The Christmas update in Steal a Brainrot represents one of the most comprehensive seasonal events in Roblox gaming. With 37 unique limited-time brainrots spanning all rarity tiers, there’s something for every player regardless of experience level or budget.
Your Action Plan:
Week 1 (Starting Now):
Week 2-3 (Mid-Season Push):
Week 4 (Final Sprint):
Post-Event (January 2026):
The urgency is real – these brainrots won’t return after the season ends. Every day you wait reduces your collection opportunities. Whether you’re a casual collector aiming for 10-15 Christmas units or a completionist hunting all 37, the time to act is now.
