This activity launched off the event with a short speech from Droobledore. Afterwards, staff members got to perform a special dance in front of players at the dance hall.
Tinsel Trivia
Four interactive trivia classes were hosted simultaneously. Players competed with Christmas-themed and Harry-Potter-themed trivia questions and were able to earn Academic Credits, House points, and additional prizes.

Duelling Competition
Instead of a round-robin style, players competed against each other in a one-on-one bracket style. To enter, players dropped their name into Donation Chests at each House’s Common Room; however, there were some prerequisites, such as being at least Year Four, and sign-ups were first-come, first-serve. The competition was held on December 19th, 2015. The top three winners gained a wand appearance and, potentially, Galleons.
Skin Competition
The Yule Ball Fashion Show was a skin contest held to show off skins from four categories: Winter Apparel, Swimwear, Formalwear, and Cosplay. To enter, players had to fill out a Google Form by December 18th, 2015. The competition was held on December 19th, 2015. Afterwards, players voted for their favourites of each category using a poll. The winners of each category each received a hat of their choice.
Instagram Competition
To enter, players uploaded a photo of themselves, or with friends at the Yule Ball to Instagram with the hashtag #potterworldmc.
