==Before starting the event==
===Speaking to the Worried Baker===
* '''Player:''' Hello there friend.
* '''Worried Baker:''' Oh..what am I to do, Christmas is ruined.
* '''Player:''' What's the matter?
* '''Worried Baker:''' Christmas is ruined, my bakery is ruined, everything is ruined!
* '''Player:''' Maybe this has something to do with Santa in Varrock Square.
* {{tact|end}}

===Attempting to go down the trapdoor===
* '''Player:''' Never noticed this before, maybe Santa in Varrock Square will know something about it.
* {{tact|end}}

==Starting out==
===Speaking to the children===
''Speaking to [[Beverly]], [[Bill]], [[Georgie]], or [[Jess (2019 Christmas event)|Jess]] will result in the same dialogue:''
* '''Player:''' Hey kid, what's all the shouting about?
* '''Child:''' Christmas is ruined!
* '''Player:''' Again? What's happened this time?
* '''Child:''' The man in the shop won't give us our Gingerbread Gnomes, he's keeping them for himself.
* '''Player:''' That doesn't sound right, are you sure that's really what he's doing?
* '''Child:''' Of course he is, why else won't he give us any?
* '''Player:''' Something seems off, maybe I should go talk to Santa to find out what's happened.
* '''Child:''' Do whatever you want, I want my Gingerbread Gnomes!
* {{tact|end}}

====Speaking to a child before continuing with the event====
* '''Child:''' Where are our Gingerbread Gnomes!
* '''Player:''' I'm working on it, I'm working on it.
* '''Child:''' Hurry up!
* {{tact|end}}

====Overhead dialogue====
* {{trandom}}
* {{topt|Dialogue 1}}
** '''Child:''' {{overhead|You've ruined Christmas!}}
* {{topt|Dialogue 2}}
** '''Child:''' {{overhead|Give us the Gnomes!}}
* {{topt|Dialogue 3}}
** '''Child:''' {{overhead|Where are our Gingerbread Gnomes!}}

===Speaking to Santa===
* '''Player:''' Hello Santa, long time no see!
* '''Santa:''' Ho Ho Hello [player name], it certainly has been a long time.
* '''Player:''' Quick question, why are you hanging out with a bunch of angry children?
* '''Santa:''' Christmas is ruined! My son, Jack Frost, has messed it all up!
* '''Santa:''' I put him in charge of this year's Christmas to learn some much needed responsibility.
* '''Santa:''' All he does is sit at home, eating my mince pies, drinking my eggnog and throwing snowballs at my elves.
* '''Player:''' So why has that caused a problem with the Gingerbread Gnomes?
* '''Santa:''' A major part of my job is overseeing Gingerbread Gnome production here in Varrock. I like to... ensure production is top quality... and do some taste testing from time to time.
* '''Santa:''' As soon as he stepped in, production came to a stand still. I need my Gingerbread Gnomes, it's part of my balanced diet.
* '''Player:''' So why don't you go help him out instead of standing around Varrock?
* '''Santa:''' I'm trying a new parenting technique, he needs to learn from his mistakes.
* '''Santa:''' But in the mean time, could you go and have a word with him? The bakery is south of the Apothecary here in Varrock.
* '''Player:''' Great, now this is my problem, thanks Santa.
* {{tact|end}}

====Talking to Santa without going to the bakery====
* '''Santa:''' Have you managed to solve the problem at the Bakery yet?
* '''Santa:''' In case you forgot, the bakery is just south of the Apothecary here in Varrock.
* '''Player:''' I'm still working on it.
* '''Santa:''' Hurry it along would you, I'm getting quite hungry.
* {{tact|end}}

===Speaking to the baker outside the bakery===
* '''Player:''' Hello there friend.
* '''Worried Baker:''' Adventurer! You've come at the right time. I need your help.
* '''Player:''' Could this have something to do with some missing Gingerbread Gnomes?
* '''Worried Baker:''' How did you know?
* '''Player:''' Santa told me to sort it out for him, he said his son has taken over the Gingerbread Gnome production.
* '''Worried Baker:''' He has been an absolute disaster, he suddenly showed up and took control of our bakery. We tried to stop him, but he locked up the two other bakers!
* '''Player:''' How did you manage to escape?
* '''Worried Baker:''' Well... I don't think he knows how Gingerbread Gnomes are made, he brought in an Icelord to ice the gingerbread.
* '''Worried Baker:''' I threw a stone at it to cause a distraction, giving me a chance to escape. After I got out, I heard Jack lock the entrance behind me.
* '''Player:''' He brought in an Icelord!? I don't know how to deal with one of those.
* '''Worried Baker:''' It's terrifying! I think Jack must have a few screws loose to think that was a good idea.
* '''Player:''' Well, I better tell Santa, since I can't get into the bakery from here....
* '''Worried Baker:''' Please hurry, we need to restart production as soon as possible.
* {{tact|end}}

====Talking to the Worried Baker before going back to Santa====
* '''Worried Baker:''' Have you managed to free the other bakers and stop Jack Frost yet?
* '''Player:''' Not yet, I'm still working on it.
* '''Worried Baker:''' Hurry we need to get back into production, before it's too late.
* {{tact|end}}

==Anti-Santa and the Jack Frost duel==
* '''Player:''' Hello again Santa.
* '''Santa:''' Ho Ho Hello [player name], have you managed to sort out my son?
* '''Player:''' Not yet, I found the bakery and it appears Jack has thrown a tantrum....
* '''Santa:''' Oh dear, what has he done?
* '''Player:''' Well he's locked the bakers up and brought in an Icelord.
* '''Player:''' One of the bakers managed to escape and is outside.
* '''Santa:''' Where did I go wrong... Jack used to be such a happy young boy.
* '''Santa:''' Looks like I'm going to need to step in if we're going to save Christmas.
* '''Player:''' Great! So you're going to go and talk to him?
* '''Santa:''' Ho Ho Ho, of course not [player name], I've got a better idea.
* '''Player:''' Fantastic... and that is?
* '''Santa:''' You're going to bring Anti-Santa to sort him out, Jack is terrified of him.
* {{tcond|If the player has completed any Christmas event involving [[Anti-Santa]]:}}
** '''Player:''' Anti-Santa?! No way am I freeing him after all that work a few years ago.
** '''Santa:''' Don't you think I know that! We have no choice I'm afraid.
** '''Player:''' I'm sure we can come up with something better than freeing him.
** '''Santa:''' Well if you have a better idea, spit it out.
** '''Player:''' ...
** '''Santa:''' Thought so, now I'm going to need you to free him from his prison in ScapeRune.
** '''Player:''' How am I going to do that? Evil Bob took him away....
** '''Santa:''' Yes, but we don't need Evil Bob's help this time, I can teleport you into his cell.
** '''Santa:''' You'll still need to convince him to help us though.
** {{tact|continues}}
* {{tcond|If the player has not completed any Christmas event involving Anti-Santa:}}
** '''Player:''' Anti-Santa? Never heard of him, sound's{{sic}} like an edgy version of you.
** '''Santa:''' He certainly has his... unique aspects to his personality.
** '''Santa:''' But he'll be very useful for scaring Jack. There aren't many things Jack's afraid of, but that giant skeleton is one of them.
** '''Player:''' Where can I find Anti-Santa? I've never come across him in my travels.
** '''Santa:''' A few years ago, Evil Bob locked him away in ScapeRune.
** '''Player:''' Great, I'm sure if we wait long enough, Evil Bob will appear out of nowhere....
** '''Santa:''' We don't have time for that, he trusted me to look after him. Evil Bob was tired of dealing with his dirty laundry.
** '''Santa:''' I'll teleport you right into his cell, you're going to need to convince him to help us.
* '''Player:''' Surely he'll still be angry about last time?
* '''Santa:''' Most likely, but if you tell him that I'm considering setting him free, he'll change his tune.
* '''Santa:''' Take this as well. After you've convinced him to help, you can use this to teleport both of you to the bakery.
* {{tcond|If the player has a full inventory:}}
** '''Santa:''' You've got too much on you, come back when you've got some free space.
** {{tact|end}}
* {{tbox|Santa gives you a teleport tablet to teleport you to the bakery.}}
* {{tact|receives=a [[Scaperune teleport]]}}
* {{Qact|Fade to black, player appears in [[ScapeRune#Prison|ScapeRune prison]]}}
* '''Anti-Santa:''' Ha Ha Ha. Well if it isn't [player name], why do you dare enter my domain....
* {{tcond|If the player has completed any Christmas event involving [[Anti-Santa]]:}}
** '''Player:''' Long time no see Anti-Santa, how's prison life been treating you?
** '''Anti-Santa:''' It has been glorious, you may have thought me to be rotting inside these walls, but I've been coming up with plot to end Christmas once and for all!
** '''Anti-Santa:''' You may of {{sic}} stopped me all those years ago, but you didn't stop my mind.
** '''Anti-Santa:''' Soon I'll escape these walls and there'll be naught to stop me.
** '''Anti-Santa:''' This pathetic holiday will come to an end and I'll laugh as it burns.
** '''Anti-Santa:''' That red buffoon will not be able to stop me, nor you, nor that dumb cat!
** {{tact|continues}}
* {{tcond|If the player has not completed any Christmas event involving Anti-Santa:}}
** '''Player:''' Anti-Santa, Santa told me all about you.
** '''Anti-Santa:''' Don't mention his name to me, he's everything I hate about this repulsive holiday, I have always dreamed about tearing down this revolting time of year.
** '''Anti-Santa:''' Years ago I almost succeeded, but I was thwarted by that red buffoon and some dumb cat!
** '''Anti-Santa:''' But in the years I've been locked away, I've been plotting and scheming. When I escape from this cell....
** '''Anti-Santa:''' Yes, Christmas will never be the same, children will be crying instead of laughing!
** '''Anti-Santa:''' The streets will be cold and lifeless.
* '''Anti-Santa:''' I will stop Christmas once and for all!
* '''Anti-Santa:''' And soon it will be the year of the Anti-Christmas!
* '''Player:''' *Snores*
* '''Anti-Santa:''' OI!
* '''Player:''' *Wakes up* Oh sorry! You were going on for a bit, I thought it'd never end.
* '''Anti-Santa:''' You've been moved to the top of my kill list [player name].
* '''Player:''' Let's cut to the chase, I need your help Anti-Santa.
* '''Anti-Santa:''' Oh, so you've come begging to me for help, what makes you think I would help you?
* '''Player:''' What other choice do you have? It looks incredibly boring in this cell.
* '''Anti-Santa:''' Well, that's true, but I'd rather that than help you.
* '''Player:''' You're so over dramatic. Santa said he'd consider freeing you only if you help us.
* '''Anti-Santa:''' Oh did he... ...now might be my chance to escape this cell... you know what. I will help you.
* '''Player:''' Finally, he needs you to deal with Jack Frost at a bakery in Varrock.
* '''Anti-Santa:''' Is that it? Why can't he do it himself?
* '''Player:''' He's testing a new parenting technique.
* '''Anti-Santa:''' Really? How are we meant to get into this bakery?
* '''Player:''' He gave me this teleport tablet, it will take us right inside of the bakery.
* '''Anti-Santa:''' After all these years, he's still making adventurers do his dirty work. He's just as bad as me.
* '''Player:''' Trust me, I'm getting tired of it as well, we need to go before it's too late.
* {{Qact|Player teleports, fade to black, appears in workshop with Anti-Santa}}
* '''Anti-Santa:''' Ha Ha Ha If it isn't Jack Frost. You look smaller than last time I saw you.
* '''Jack Frost:''' A-A-Anti Santa!? What are you doing here?
* '''Anti-Santa:''' Your father sent me. Apparently, you've been rather naughty this year.
* '''Anti-Santa:''' I'm here to sort you out.
* '''Jack Frost:''' What? My dad sent you? No way, he put me in charge of Christmas.
* '''Anti-Santa:''' He did and apparently you're doing such an awful job of it, you've ruined it for everyone...
* '''Anti-Santa:''' When you think about it, are you sure you're not my son?
* '''Jack Frost:''' You're not my father, you're just an ugly bag of bones.
* '''Jack Frost:''' I won't let you stop me. Take this!
* {{tact|Jack Frost casts [[Water Blast]], dealing 0 damage.}}
* '''Anti-Santa:''' Ha Ha Ha. Is that all you've got, Jack?
* '''Jack Frost:''' Oh come on! How did that not hurt you?
* '''Anti-Santa:''' You're weak just like your father.
* '''Anti-Santa:''' I'm gonna slap you back to Lumbridge!
* {{tact|Anti-Santa casts [[Fire Surge]], dealing 60 damage.}}
* '''Jack Frost:''' Argh!
* '''Jack Frost:''' You're going to need a lot worse to defeat me.
* '''Anti-Santa:''' Good thing I'm not done yet.
* '''Anti-Santa:''' I learned this from an old friend of mine.
* '''Jack Frost:''' {{overhead|Ouch!}}
* {{tact|Anti-Santa spews out fireballs akin to [[Vorkath]]'s acid phase, while Jack Frost walks back and forth to dodge them.}}
* '''Anti-Santa:''' You cannot stop me Jack.
* '''Jack Frost:''' I'm not finished yet.
* {{tact|Jack Frost casts Water Blast again, Anti-Santa reflects the blast back as [[Water Surge]].}}
* '''Jack Frost:''' Mummy!
* {{tact|Jack Frost takes 9 damage.}}
* '''Jack Frost:''' I'm getting out of here. This isn't worth it!
* {{tact|Jack Frost teleports away.}}
* '''Player:''' Uhh...
* '''Player:''' That didn't go as planned.
* '''Anti-Santa:''' Ha Ha Ha. He won't get away that easily!
* '''Anti-Santa:''' I'll be back to deal with you soon [player name]....
* {{tact|Anti-Santa pulls off his head, it glows in a blue flame, and he fades away.}}
* '''Paul:''' Is it over?
* '''Player:''' I can't hear anything? It might be?
* '''Player:''' Is someone in there?
* '''Paul:''' N-n-n-no... go away...
* '''Player:''' Oh okay, fair enough.
* {{tact|Player steps away from the door.}}
* '''Mary:''' Wait! Come back, we need your help.
* '''Mary:''' Jack Frost locked us in here when he stormed into our bakery. We tried to stop him from messing up our production, but he got grumpy.
* '''Player:''' I ran into one of your bakers outside, he said you were in trouble.
* '''Paul:''' Oh Remy is still alive! We thought Jack fed him to the Icelord.
* '''Player:''' Where's the key? The door looks locked to me.
* '''Paul:''' I thought you had it, Mary.
* '''Player:''' Well I thought you had it, Paul.
* '''Paul:''' Don't you think I'd have opened the door if I had it?
* '''Player:''' Don't you think I would have opened the door as well!
* '''Paul:''' Great, now I'm locked in here with you for the rest of my life.
* '''Player:''' Woah calm down! If it's not in there, it must be out here. Let me look for it.
* {{tact|end}}


==Finding the backroom key==
===Attempting to enter the Icelord's cage before talking to the door again===
* '''Icelord:''' {{overhead|RAAAAAAAAAAAWR}}
* {{tbox|The Icelord sees you trying to enter their cage and blasts you backwards.}}
* '''Paul:''' Ooooh that sounds like it hurt!
* '''Mary:''' Are you okay dear? That sounded quite nasty.
* '''Player:''' Well, I found the key.
* '''Paul:''' That's great, come on let us out then.
* '''Mary:''' Yes hurry up, we need to get back on schedule.
* '''Player:''' That's going to be a problem, it's in the cage with the Icelord.
* '''Player:''' I've got no way to get it with the Icelord there.
* '''Paul:''' Did you try telegrabbing it?
* {{tact|Continues from "That won't work, the Icelord's magic will interfere."}}

===Talking to the door without having tried to enter the Icelord's cage===
* '''Player:''' I'm stumped, I can't find the key.
* '''Paul:''' You've looked around the bakery and no luck?
* '''Mary:''' If it's not in here or in the back room, it must be in the cage with the Icelord.
* '''Paul:''' It wouldn't be safe to go in there.
* '''Paul:''' Could you try telegrabbing it?
* '''Mary:''' That won't work, the Icelord's magic will interfere.
* '''Paul:''' Hmm... You're going to need a way to protect yourself from the Icelord.
* '''Player:''' Don't suppose you have an Anti-Icelord Shield lying around here then?
* '''Mary:''' I don't, do you Paul?
* '''Paul:''' No I don't...
* '''Paul:''' But I do have a genius idea, we'll use Gingerbread!
* '''Mary:''' ...
* '''Player:''' ...
* '''Paul:''' Before Jack locked us up, I saw him using the Icelord to ice his Gingerbread Gnomes. They did a great job of absorbing his breath.
* '''Player:''' ...
* '''Mary:''' ...
* '''Paul:''' You'll need to make a Gingerbread Gnome big enough to absorb the Icelord's breath.
* '''Player:''' How am I going to do that?
* '''Paul:''' Our usual recipe uses: one cinnamon, one ginger, one flour and one egg, we put them into that big machine you see to your left.
* '''Paul:''' Try using more of each ingredient till you get the right combination? Possibly tripling the amount of each ingredient might work.
* '''Player:''' This is such a ridiculous idea, guess I have no choice....
* '''Paul:''' Come back to us if you need some more help.
* {{tact|end}}

===Attempting to enter the icelord's cage after the above dialogue===
* '''Icelord:''' {{overhead|RAAAAAAAAAAAWR}}
* {{tbox|The Icelord sees you trying to enter their cage and blasts you backwards.}}
* {{tact|end}}

==Making the shield==
===Talking to the door without having made the shield.===
* '''Player:''' What ingredients did I need again?
* '''Paul:''' You'll need ginger, cinnamon, flour and eggs. We usually only use one of each, maybe tripling the amount of each will work.
* '''Player:''' Great thanks, I'll see what I can do.
* {{tact|end}}

===Making the shield at the machine===
* {{tbox|Somethings{{sic}} smells good, you better check the other side of the machine.}}
* {{tact|end}}

===Talking to the door having made the shield.===
* '''Player:''' So I made the shield, now what?
* '''Paul:''' Fantastic! Now you need to enter the Icelord's cage.
* '''Paul:''' Don't worry, I'm sure this idea will work, just make sure to equip it before you go in.
* {{tact|end}}

===Entering the icelord's cage with the shield===
* '''Icelord:''' {{overhead|RAAAAAAAAAAAWR}}
* {{tbox|Your shield absorbs the Icelord's attack and gets iced over.}}
* {{tact|Player's [[gingerbread shield]] becomes an [[iced gingerbread shield]].}}
* {{tact|end}}

===After getting the key from the cage===
* '''Player:''' I found the key!
* '''Paul:''' That's great! Now hurry up and open the door.
* {{tact|Screen fades.}}
* {{tbox|You release the bakers and give back their key...}}
* {{tcond|If the player frees the bakers without receiving the explaination on how to do so:}}
** '''Player:''' There you go, unlocked without an issue.
** '''Paul:''' Wow, you managed to do that so quickly! Without any help from us.
** '''Mary:''' You're very impressive, what a coincidence that you knew to make a giant piece of gingerbread to protect yourself.
** '''Player:''' Ha ha, yeah, it was no problem.
** '''Mary:''' Well, thanks for freeing us!
** {{tact|continues}}
* {{tcond|If the player was told how to free the bakers:}}
** '''Player:''' I can't believe that actually worked....
** '''Paul:''' ...Me too, I thought you'd be turned into icing for sure.
** '''Player:''' So you're telling me you weren't even sure it would!?
** '''Paul:''' It worked out didn't it? We're free to continue making Gingerbread Gnomes.
** '''Mary:''' That was extremely reckless, Paul, but you're right, it did work out in the end.
** '''Player:''' ...fine. I should go tell Santa the good news, the bakery is back in operation.
* '''Mary:''' We'll be back in full production in no time!
* '''Paul:''' What do we do about the Icelord in the cage?
* '''Mary:''' Maybe Jack was onto something by using it to ice the Gingerbread Gnomes.
* '''Mary:''' You should take the giant piece of gingerbread you made and show it to Santa, he'll know we're back in business then.
* '''Paul:''' Alright, time for you to go, we need to get back into production.
* {{tact|Player is teleported outside of the workshop.}}
* {{tact|end}}

===Attempting to re-enter the workshop===
* '''Paul:''' Go away, we're busy trying to catch up.
* {{tact|end}}

==Reporting to Santa==
===Children's overheads===
* {{trandom}}
* {{topt|Dialogue 1}}
** '''Child:''' {{overhead|Christmas is Saved!}}
* {{topt|Dialogue 2}}
** '''Child:''' {{overhead|Give us the Gnomes!}}
* {{topt|Dialogue 3}}
** '''Child:''' {{overhead|Hurry up with the delivery!}}

===Talking to Santa===
* '''Santa:''' Ah [player name], you've returned, have you managed to sort out the bakery?
* '''Player:''' Hello again Santa, yes I've managed to sort out the bakery and stop your son.
* '''Santa:''' Ho Ho Ho, that's perfect and what of the Anti-Santa?
* '''Player:''' Uhm... well... there was a slight problem when we returned from ScapeRune.
* '''Santa:''' What happened?
* '''Player:''' He sort of beat up Jack then escaped when Jack fled.
* '''Santa:''' ...
* '''Santa:''' Oh....
* '''Santa:''' Uh... that wasn't suppose{{sic}} to happen. Do you know where they went?
* '''Player:''' I'm afraid not, Jack teleported out and Anti-Santa followed him.
* '''Santa:''' ...
* '''Santa:''' That's going to come back and bite me in the future... Oh well, problem for another year I suppose, did you manage to make any Gingerbread Gnomes for me?
* '''Player:''' I'm afraid I didn't, although I do have this giant one I used to protect myself from the Icelord, the bakers are going to use the Icelord from now on to ice their gnomes.
* '''Santa:''' Oh, that wouldn't be edible at all, Icelord saliva isn't safe to eat, you better keep that one and maybe go tell the bakers later as well.
* '''Santa:''' Ho Ho Ho, well thank you for all your help this year [player name], I'm sure I'll see you again soon.
* '''Player:''' Yeah... looking forward to it....
* {{tact|receives=various event rewards}}

==Post-event==
===Talking to Santa===
* '''Player:''' Why are you still here?
* '''Santa:''' Ho Ho Ho, I'm still waiting for the delivery to come in!
* '''Player:''' I'll leave you to it then.
* {{tact|end}}

===Attempting to enter the workshop===
* '''Paul:''' Go away, we're busy trying to catch up.
* '''Player:''' Just quickly, Santa said you shouldn't use the Icelord to ice your gnomes.
* '''Paul:''' Why not?
* '''Player:''' Something about Icelord saliva not being safe to eat.
* '''Paul:''' Oh, thanks for telling us, we'll go back to using normal icing.
* {{tact|end}}

===Talking to the children===
* '''Player:''' Why are you still here? I saved Christmas, you can go home.
* '''Child:''' We still have to wait for the delivery to come in, dummy.
* '''Player:''' I'll leave you to it then.
