Ascalon, LA, Droks, and Kamadan are hosting Wintersday festivities this year. The following collector items can be traded for various wintersday goodies, including wintergreen candy canes:

Ascalon: charr carvings x3 (Priestess Clara), ornate grawl necklaces x2 (Priest Erwin), singed gargoyle skulls x2 (Necromancer Malaise), stormy eyes x2 (Necromancer Ichibaun)
LA: shadowy remnants x1 (Priestess Siara), feathered caromi scalps x2(Dark Priest Calmein), decayed orr emblems x3 (Priest Meran), hardened humps x2 (Necromancer Kalvori)
Droks: dredge manifeso x1 (Dark Priestess Velna), frozen remnant x1 (Acolyte Rockhammer), frigid hearts x2 (Dark Priest Shadowvein), stone summit badges x3 (Abbot Silverbeard)
Kamadan: sentient roots x3 (Monk Sutoni), silver buillion coins x2 (Dark Priest Bandeh), juvenile termite legs x3 (Necromancer Dunbari), copper shillings x3 (Priestess Mahni)

You can also trade frozen ectoplasms, aquired by doing UW quests obtained from Rift Wardens in LA or Kamadan (present in LA but not Kamadan, yet?), for yuletide tonics.

Candy cane shards, aquired by doing the Kringle & Skruuj Kamadan quests & snowball fights, can be traded for a wintersday gift or candy cane weapons. Last report says that candy cane smiths and wintersday gift givers are active in Kamadan & LA, I don't know about Droks or Ascalon. Candy cane smiths are also available in the snowball arena.

Here's the official Wintersday page: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Wintersday_2007 . The two new quests this year are obtained from the Rift Wardens and involve defending or attacking the Secret Lair of the Snowmen (normally a GW:EN dungeon). CC shard drop rates are very high in this dungeon and the chest that spawns guarantees a high number of Wintersday items (5 I believe).

Well there are collectors for them, so either they put them there for the poor sods who held onto them for an entire year or there's a way to get them.

I had a closer look on the Wiki at the Globs and it says they are rewards for doing the Wintersday quests in the Underworld, obtained from the Rift Wardens in LA or Kamadan. However, I've been unable to find the rift wardens. So, either they're unveiling them later, or they're not doing them this year.

I looked into the CC shards a bit more closely. Last year Wintersday Gift Givers would collect them and they were located at Balthazar's Isle, Ascalon, LA, Droks, and Kamadan. I haven't found them at Kamadan yet, anyone found them anywhere else?

I've updated my first post with all the new information (including Droks, which I'd left out the first time).

Speaking of Wintersday, has anyone seen the Hats we are getting this year! They look amazing! Although The Crown's concept art was taken off of The Chronicles Of Narnia

Here is the link to see the hats:
