[[Crimboween]] was the result of a [[Kingdom of Loathing|KoL]] [[Halloween]] falling on the real-life date of [[Crimbo]]/Christmas on December 25, 2006. It was uniquely distinct from previous [[Crimbo]]s for its combined ''[[Wikipedia:The Nightmare Before Christmas|The Nightmare Before Christmas]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:A Christmas Carol|A Christmas Carol]]'' inspired theme along with a new quest, [[Save Uncle Crimbo!]], which spanned the month of December.

Combinations of real-life and in-game holidays are rare: the next time this particular combination could possibly happen directly is <i>(insert date here)</i> – although there is a possibility that in 2048, when KOL's Halloween appears on Boxing Day (December 26), may be close enough to provide an excuse for a joint holiday.

October 31, 2006 (real life Halloween) was the first (and possibly only) Halloween during which Trick or Treating could yield {{plural|eggnog}}, {{plural|fruitcake}} (without wearing [[Crimbo Duds]]), {{plural|gingerbread bugbear}}, or {{plural|candy cane}} (without wearing [[Bow Tux]]). A [[Crimboween memo]] was also passed out stating that Uncle Crimbo and his helpers were running [[Halloween]] that year instead of the Scream Queen.

==December 1st==
[[A Lonely Crimbo Elf]] appeared in [[The Big Mountains]]. When spoken to, he assigned the [[Save Uncle Crimbo!]] quest.

A [[Spooky Advent Calendar]] appeared in the [[Campground]] of every player. As each day was punched out, a special Crimboween item was given, varying depending on the day. If a player had not yet used a [[chocolate lump]], one would also be given.  A new section became available every day.

Players could also sleep as much as they wanted at their campsite, even if they didn't need to, in order to complete the quest.

==December 25th==
All players received a [[tropical Crimbo pressie]] in their inventory, granting [[tropical wrapping paper]] and a special item when opened. Players who had helped rescue [[Uncle Crimbo]] received an additional bonus item.

==January 1st==
All alternate versions of [[Crimbo Town]] disappeared from the Big Mountains.
