Seasonal wShop & PJ's Outlet Items

In late November or early December each year, seasonal Christmas items appear in the wShop. Like most themes in Webkinz World, these items are typically added to the wShop in two "batches", two weeks apart. In early January, the Christmas theme is removed from the wShop.
From year to year the items in the Christmas theme change. Some items return from previous years, and some items are brand new. There's no way of knowing if/when an item from a previous year may return.

Christmas Accessories
For the Christmas season, there are accessories that can be purchased outside of Webkinz World.
- In 2008, Ganz introduced two seasonal KinzStyle outfits that could be purchased at Webkinz retailers, the Elf Outfit and the red Santa Outfit. Just like with other KinzStyle clothing, these outfits came with a virtual copy of the outfit.
The virtual KinzStyle Elf Outfit is sometimes confused with the Elf Hat and Elf Shoes from the 2005 Christmas Gift Bag, but it is not the same item. Players trading for these items need to be careful. The KinzStyle Elf Outfit did NOT return for 2009.
The virtual red Santa Outfit was originally available as a seasonal wShop item in December 2006. It is now only available with the feature code that comes with the KinzStyle outfit. The KinzStyle Santa Outfit was released to retailers in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011.
