The first usable Wintersday hats ever.
They don't remove your hair, their don't look just plain silly.
They fit with many other armor sets, armor combos and costumes...
The best Wintersday hats ever.

It's nice to be getting hats that don't make you go completely bald or have silly looking flaps like that burger king crown. I also like that (like the recent Halloween ones) they're more accessory like and are usable beyond these events.

Just because they don't remove your hair or whatever doesn't make them good, and just because their free doesn't mean they can't point out flaws/critique on them. Personally I think the halo is too small and more than a little tacky, it looks as awkward as the Fable 2 halo to be honest. And the horns on the contrary are a bit too big and aren't aligned as well as they could be, so instead of 'Hellboy' you get 'Err ok what the hell'. If they wanted to do them big then they should have done it in a style similar to Lihiniel's picture.
Having said this I'll give them the fact that they are getting beter and rather than questionable seasonal headpieces we get some more all year round accessories.

Clearly, the horns are stolen from bleach and the halos from dragon ball! Let the crystorm beginn. |
To those who don't get it, it's a reference to the super-awesome flamefest that was the cat ears / goggles for halloween.

Still no super sayian hair.

Haven't got mine yet but i really like that both are animated.
I think I will likely use these much more than any other holiday headgear.
Good job ANet

Well I, personally, think that Anet did a wonderful job on the hats this year. I have been pretty disappointed in their choices for the past few years, for Halloween and Xmas, and this time I think they gave the community something terrific. Still wish we were able to get a few of the more traditional Xmas hats from days gone by tho. Either thru a quest or even a store "hat pack" purchase. But over-all, Well Done Anet. Hats that fit the theme of GW Xmas, and yet can still be pulled off for everyday use.

So far I've only gotten the horns, which I really like the glow on them. A little large for my female characters, but a great concept.
As for getting past "hats", I disagree. I missed the first Halloween and Wintersday as I didn't own the game. I somehow lost my Witch's hat from Halloween 2006 and didn't get the other one. This is my loss and ArenNet doesn't need to make up for my lack of interest in their game in 2005 or my idiocy in a later year. The people who have been here since the beginning deserve to have special items to show off.

Don't really care about the horns, but I like the halo. Cute idea, and I will definitely be wearing it.
Star_Jewel
Mm, yeah -- animation = good.
The hair removal thing people are mentioning -- that has to be the best part of a lot of the headgear we've been seeing lately. The ears/spectercles don't remove your hair, and the Wedding Attire give you a complementary hairstyle. This is a fantastic direction the artists are going in. I'm very, very pleased with it.

I really like both hats this year. Since I liked the Halloween ones, too, I'd say this is a win 
Darcy
Got my halo now. I really like this hat; not that my Darcy is an "angel" or anything.

Altough I really like the santa hats.
Garreth MacLeod
I don't play as much as I used to but I still come back for the festivals. They are one of my favorite parts of Guild Wars going back to the very first one years ago.
These 2 hats are in my favorites. Sure, they might be like halos and horns from some other 'place' but there isn't much you can do to make them different. Especially a halo. You've seen one halo you've pretty much seen them all.
As for the horns being to big, I remember a set of Grenth horns that were really big too. And I still wear those occasionally.
Good job Anet. I like these hats.

I really like them (as I did the goggles and cat ears).
Great stuff Anet keep em coming like this!
What happened to the Rose staves/wands from the .dat on the german wiki though?
Any word on that?

Horns and Halos are good, nice job ANET! (horns are better
)
Ebony Shadowheart
I have no complaints about either of the hats this year (or last year for that matter). I like both the horns and the halo, and definitely like the glowing/twinkling details they added. 
I don't have any issues with their sizes either, as many have mentioned. They both look pretty snazzy (yeah, snazzy) on my monks.
Honestly, even if I don't particularly care for one of the hats during a festival, it's still nice that Anet tries to do these things for us. They sure as hell don't HAVE to. However, of all the hats I have from the past 5 years, I can only think of one that I don't really like.
Now if they could only tweak the old ones to not remove hair....meh, too much work. lol.

awesome job anet, I love the halo, and it fits paragons real well.
Faure
Both hats are hands down the best so far, including those that are payed for imo.
Really really like them both :-).

Some people dug out inventory icons of a new wand and a focus that Gwen wields during the wedding. I wonder what about them? I hoped this focus would be some finale reward. 
I'd love to have it!
And hats that can be used with tonics = win! :P

so much better then the last 2 years of wintersday( pieces of ice+ stupid looking hats anyone?). Not sure why this is a christmas hat tho. Seems like it would be more appropriate for Halloween. I'm still ok with it tho i like them

oh and quick note about the horns... doesnt work on el phantasmal tonic... all you see is the fire floating around their heads.. no horns :/(halo does look cure on it tho)
ill edit this post as i test more tonics
halo clips with boreal tonic form, and trapdoor, and skeletonic and lastly the beetle juice tonic. doesnt show up on macabre.
and the horns dont work with all the el tonics i tried(all monthly except ooze) and the beetle juice tonic.

Best hats since '06 PERIOD! Both of them!
GG Anet, I am very pleased this year! 3 years of disappointment both Halloween and Wintersday, but this year, you even made up for the shit hats from Halloween too! *claps*
EDIT: to the above post I only read now: Halo also has clipping isues with Ooze tonic. It looks like a euh, how do you say it in english.. The thing with 5 corners.. Not square, not hexagonal, the one in between xD
EDIT EDIT: The horns don't show up on the tonic either, but you get 2 little balls of fire floating above you..

Halo = Good idea but it looks bad. I was envisioning a thin little halo above our heads. Not some giant chunky ring that rains glitter.
Horns = Waaaaay to big/long and way to high up. Look like a fking minotaur but its so out of place.
Straight to trash can like every other hat since yule cap

Horns with elite luxon for necro looks pretty amazing.
AngelWJedi
i dunno if anyone noticed this too or it is just me. if you wear the horns on the headless lunatic armor it looks like 2 glowing balls of fire. and my halo looks like its dripping sparkles onto my chars head. lols. but i love the hats. dont like the horns but the halo is my absolute favorite.
Chthon
My input is that both of the hats for this year are amazing. Well done!
StormDragonZ
It too bad the horns don't look like:
... and for the love of snow and icicles, would everyone please stop calling them hats? They're accessories!

I wouldn't say these new ones are good just because they don't make you go bald, but it's definitely a huge plus in their favour.

Horns are the best thing ever added for hats. And the halos look adorable on monks and paras.
Smarty
Very nice hats. Love the glow/sparkle, yay for shinies! Thanks ANet.
Thanks ANet.

And the Wintersday Hat Givers are back this year.

Except that if you read the text for the Wintersday hat giver he is still offering the hats from last year
