The December 2023 rotation ran as part of Dragonflight Patch 10.2.0 (Guardians of the Dream). All items below are from the original month's offering.
The December 2023 Trading Post launched with mounts, battle pets, and holiday transmog options tied to Dragonflight Season 3. Five weapons were missing at the December 1 reset and were added on December 6 via a hotfix. The full mounts, pets, and toys available this month:
| Item | Cost (Trader's Tender) | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Crimson Glimmerfur | 600 | Mount (fox-type, resembles Ardenweald vulpines) |
| Mitzy | 600 | Battle Pet (festive reindeer companion) |
| Garrlok | 750 | Battle Pet (returned from February 2023 Trading Post) |
| Candied Blade | 600 | Weapon Transmog (1H festive candy-cane sword) |
| Buttercup | Traveler's Log reward | Battle Pet (baby moose; bonus for completing monthly objectives) |
📌 Common mix-up: Mitzy is listed as a mount on several third-party sites. It is a battle pet. Crimson Glimmerfur is the mount. Both cost 600 Tender — verify which you're buying at the vendor before confirming the purchase.
Players aiming to complete their WoW mount collection should note that Crimson Glimmerfur was the standout piece from the December 2023 rotation.
Five weapon transmogs were part of the December lineup, though all five were added as a mid-month hotfix on December 6 rather than at the monthly reset:
Also available from the start of the month: Blademaster's Thundering Greatsword (225 Tender, 2H Sword) and the Arsenal: Stormrider's Stormhammers set (400 Tender, paired 1H Maces).
✏️ Budget tip: If Tender is limited, the Chipped Gladius (50 Tender) and Jeweled Valkyrion Cape (50 Tender) are the cheapest cosmetics in the December rotation. Save remaining Tender for the class ensembles if your main's class is covered this month.
Individual armor transmog pieces this month include a new cloak model, themed footwear, and a distinctive legs slot:
These three pieces total 200 Tender together, making them affordable alongside the class ensemble if your main's set is listed below.
Four classes received full ensembles in December 2023, each split into a 450-Tender armor set and a 500-Tender weapon set:
Classes not listed above (Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Druid, Monk, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, Warrior) did not receive dedicated ensembles in December 2023. Check earlier and later Trading Post rotations for your class.
One week before the December monthly reset (December 24-31), Blizzard introduced additional Traveler's Log activities to help players close out the activity bar. All four tasks were tied to Dragonflight Season 3's Emerald Dream content:
⚠️ Timing note: Final Surge activities only appear in the last seven days of the month. If you log in on December 23 and don't see these tasks, wait until the December 24 daily reset — they appear automatically and contribute the same points as regular activities.
Buttercup, a baby moose battle pet, was the December 2023 signature reward. Unlike purchasable items, Buttercup was earned by completing enough Traveler's Log objectives throughout the month and wasn't available for Trader's Tender directly.
Mitzy is a battle pet (companion), not a mount. It costs 600 Trader's Tender. Crimson Glimmerfur is the mount in the December 2023 rotation, also at 600 Tender.
The Candied Blade is a 1H sword transmog shaped like a festive candy cane, available for 600 Trader's Tender in December 2023. It is sometimes called the "Peppermint Blade" informally, but the in-game item name is Candied Blade (Wowhead item ID 210843).
Four classes received ensembles in December 2023: Evoker (Scales of the Silver Hoarder), Hunter (Hornstrider Hunter's Camouflage), Mage (Battle Magister's Regalia), and Shaman (Imminence of Krag'wa's Executor). Each ensemble costs 450 Tender for armor and 500 Tender for weapons.
Five weapons were absent at the December 1 reset and were added via hotfix on December 6: Chipped Gladius (50 Tender), Craftsman Timber Mallet (50 Tender), Chilled Touch of the Condemned (150 Tender), Glittering Fel Gavel (200 Tender), and Lost Crusader's Azure Battleaxe (200 Tender).
Final Surge ran December 24-31 and offered four Emerald Dream tasks: planting 10 Dreamseeds, completing 3 Superblooms, earning 1,500 Dream Wardens reputation, and finishing Dragonriding Courses in the Emerald Dream. These were Patch 10.2.0 Season 3 activities.
The Trading Post resets on the first day of each calendar month. Items from the previous month's rotation are replaced entirely. Garrlok is an example of a past item that returned: it debuted in February 2023 and came back in December 2023. Most items do not return, so purchasing before the monthly cutoff is the only reliable way to own them.
