I have some good news for fans of sexy holiday-inspired fashion: The team behind Dress to Impress, the dress-up game from Roblox, released its winter event on Saturday. The limited-time update, called Winter Wonderland, will bring all sorts of digital treats to the game like a digital advent calendar and new looks that appear to be inspired by the outfits of the Mean Girls talent show scene.
The Winter Wonderland holiday event in Dress to Impress is set to run from Dec. 14 until Jan. 14. Each day, players who log on will be rewarded with a new item from the advent calendar. It’s one item per day, so those who want it all, including a sparkly new dress need to hop on at least for a bit each day.
Dress to Impress is a competitive dress-up game where players create outfits according to a theme, and then vote on the best outfit in a group of other players. The update introduced new items for the competitions like winter fashion, new hairstyles, and pose packs. In between rounds, players can also explore lobbies with obstacle courses and spots to take photos. The game has been updated to add new features including a candy cane forest, rideable reindeer, and a flying obstacle course.
Dedicated players will find one more surprise as well; This update introduces an entire series of quests that when completed, will allow players to solve the mystery behind a missing Santa Claus.
