Here’s how to start the Yule Festival in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and celebrate Yuletide like Vikings:

  • First, download the free AC Valhalla Season 1 Update 1 which is v 1.1.0.
  • With that done, head towards your settlement and go towards the east side of it.
  • A cutscene will get triggered which tells you more about the decked out settlement due to the festive season.
  • Remember that you have to complete Grantebridgescire or Ledecestrescire story arcs in order to get the Yule Festival access. Forming an Alliance is a prerequisite for this.
  • There’s no power level requirement, luckily.
  • There will be some Yule Festival events which will help you earn Yule Tokens, a new event currency.
  • With this currency, you can purchase items from this event from Norvid’s Festival Shop which include new Tattoos, Armor and more Cosmetics.
  • There are quite a bit of loot and rewards that you can grab during this festival too.
