CC shard drop research

CC Shards are barely dropping. You have to do the quests. But you can only do them once over all characters so I'm guessing I won't have more than a stack. Depending on how many quests I do over all characters.
But I got about 4 from 1 Vaettir Run. (1 run is a full inventory of rares, which is about 30-50 times in and out).

CC Shards won't drop well. Farm the collector trophies in NM. You will come ahead faster and cc shards will drop once in a while.
TurinPT
around 600 vaettirs and 200 raptors, 2 shards

I've been farming a rather odd place and getting mass amounts of CC Shards... I'm working on my fourth stack right now.
Yang Whirlwind
Filled inventory 3 times farming Vattirs - 7 CC shards
lethalshot
4 CC shards with 20+ run vaettirs.
Skyy High
Shards seem to have been scaled back, but other holiday drops are quite frequent I'm finding. Eggnogs, summoners, and fruitcakes are dropping like, well, candy.
pumpkin pie
1x cc during the charr broil quest if not mistaken.
1x somewhere i can't say, cos Anet will nerf it.
normal mode
on my 6th CC in 5 runs

Imo I think snowballing it up is the way to go.
I'm at ~105 shards from like an hour of it.
Ya get a few ZKeys too.

Farmed vaettir for an hour, got like 50 of the rest and only 2 shards. (and 1 frosty tonic). So you need to throw some snowballs or do the quests.

Ive been getting them at about the same rate as the snowmen summoners, fruitcake, and eggnog.. Not that i've been getting much of any of them, lol... I need better farming spots..
Master Knightfall
My spot as usual is yielding a shard a minute on average. But, I'm not telling my spot as nobody else ever farms this spot or even mentions it. Just goes to show if you don't share your farming spots they stay healthy with loot.
Jensy
None from raptors, but I get a fair few from just doing gargoyle skull runs out of Nolani. I mean, if you're farming collectible drops anyway (skulls), you may as well farm while you farm :P
jaximus
c + spacebar outside of the sunspear great hall in normal mode yields about a shard per minute + eggnogs + fruitcakes + sentinent roots and juvi termite legs. best place ive found so far. i use a warrior with a perma speed boost (primal rage is easiest) and one shot everything but that ele boss. really easy, really quick.

Just did Strength of Snow a couple of times, and every one in two to four enemies drops a cc shard.
Zomgyogi
Did about 10-15 HM raptors runs and got 3 shards
2 Strength of snow runs & got 28 shards

I get 15-20 per 10 min run (counting the quest reward).
Dookie Dookz
I turn them in for gifts, once in a while I get 10 shards from a gift costing 5 ccs even though this is suppose to be rare according to wiki.
Zidane Ortef
Strength of Snow can be done in 6 mins and gives you ~15 shards including the reward, plus 5 holiday items 4 are always the same the fifth one is the one that could be that mini polar bear
so you can get around 150 ccshards an hour doing SoS + all the other goodies you get from the chest.

Would it make more sense to open up the Wintersday Gifts you trade the shards in for, and sell the contents? Or just sell the Gifts themselves? Personally, I am not going to use any of the stuff, except the Peppermint Candy Canes possibly (already got a stack 
)
)

Thats a "Rumor" i keep hearing in game.

Let me try
You fools should be farming collector items. While doing that, you may earn candy cane shards as well. That is great, if you understand my meaning.
With that said, I don't know of a farm that can get you enough collector items for 5 holiday items AND drop 15 shards in under 10 minutes.
CE Devilman
gargoyle skulls farming..1 to 3 CC a run.
