The 2025 SWTOR Life Day Event has started! ends January 13, 2026

News Date: December 16, 2025 Patch: 7.8 News Source

The Life Day Event is a limited-time event in Star Wars: The Old Republic that only takes place once a year in the winter. The event focuses on the fiction Star Wars holiday of Life Day, allowing you to throw snowballs, hug wookiees, and earn holiday-themed rewards. You can participate in the event as early as level 10, you just need to complete your first planet. Unlike the other limited-time events, the Life Day event has no quests and is not very involved – players often participate in the snowball throwing part of the event while doing Flashpoints, Operations, PvP or just while hanging out on the Fleet.

The Vectron Tinsel Taxi mount is not available on the Life Day vendor. We will be fixing this with Game Update 7.8b (Dec 17)
