Like last year it is Christmas party started in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and redecorated your home village into a fairground. There you can collect so-called Julmarks to take part in special events, such as drinking games, fistfights and smaller missions such as shooting competitions.
You can exchange these Jul tokens for rewards, for example weapon sets and armor parts – at least in theory. In practice, the Yule Festival apparently does not even come out of the starting blocks for many players simply does not appear. In addition, the rewards are often identical to the items from the previous year, which also causes annoyance.
Additionally for annoyance could be the search quest Counting sheep
that you can complete as part of the current crossover event with AC Odyssey. You can find out where you can find the five shards you need to complete the quest in our guide:

What does the Yule Festival in Valhalla bring?
How long does the Yule Festival last? The event will officially run from December 16, 2021 to January 6, 2022. It is not yet known whether there will be an extension due to the problems.
Where does the celebration take place? Before you search the huge game world for festive activities: The Yule Festival takes place solely in your home village. If you don’t see any signs of a party there, you are most likely also affected by the bug.
What can I do at the Yule Festival? At the festival you have several options to get the coveted Julmarks:
- Fights: Real Vikings pound each other contemplatively. Face your opponents in the ring and send them onto the boards.
- Wet drinking: Put as much mead as you can behind the bandage and be the last to stand here at the end
win
. - Archery: Hit as many targets as you can with the bow in a tight time frame.
- Quests: Two different quests that start in your village also provide a lot of tokens.
What rewards do I get for this? You can choose from a special armor set and a powerful weapon. There are also hair styles for Eivor and some winter decorative elements for the settlement.

Annoying bugs and no known solutions
The problem with the Yule Festival is that it often doesn’t even take place in the first place – and if so, then only with false rewards or other bugs. On Reddit the complaints of affected players are increasing. There are no official solutions yet, here is a list of the known problems:
- The Yule Festival does not take place: Of course, you couldn’t try the classic restart of the game. Also, make sure you have already set foot on English soil and completed one of the earliest story arcs, as this appears to be a requirement for the festival to show up.
- The same rewards as last year: If your festival is taking place and you want to trade in your hard-earned July tokens for rewards, you may be offered the same armor as last year. You can buy it again, but it won’t do you any good. It can even happen that your existing set parts are weakened as a result.

Ubisoft has now also responded and made it clear via Twitter that they have noticed the problems and are now investigating. An update can therefore be expected shortly – we will inform you at this point as soon as there is news to report.
What about with you? Do you also have problems at your Yule Festival in Valhalla or were you able to bag the new rewards without any problems, beat yourself up and wake up with a headache? Let us know in the comments!
