Pokémon Go’s first holiday season event, “Winter Holiday Part 1,” has launched. It’ll run from Dec. 15-23.

The event introduces Mega Glalie to the game, as well as Bergmite’s shiny form. Many holiday costumed Pokémon from previous years’ holiday events have also returned, so you can grab them throughout the event to flesh out your collection.
