They've never done that for Christmas. I don't think any of the actual crafting recipes have been changed since '04. They added in the clothes and boots and hats last year I think, and added the spiced cider. They occasionally have added toys/vanity pets, but nothing like HH/Adune.

This was mentioned on Allakhazam or WoWHead and some Horde players on Archimonde have done it because I already bought my Red Winter Clothes and Winter Boots. I can't get the hat if it only drops from Northrend bosses because I don't have WotLK or a high enough level character.
Last year it was actually a world drop, some people were getting them off random mobs. I'm not entirely sure about how it is this year, I suspect any dungeons would have a chance to drop the hat. It would defeat the whole purpose achievement-wise to make only hats drop off Northrend bosses, thereby not allowing any low-levels or alts the chance to attain a hat. But then again you do need to open up Orgi'la in order to do the bombing run achievement so maybe it's not that far fetched. I'm still trying to pinpoint who drops them group-wise (global, dungeons, Northrend dungeons, etc) but had someone LFG'ing for specific dungeons because that person was convinced the hat has a 100% drop rate on humanoid bosses in Northrend. Not sure where they got that info but if it was actually true you'd see a lot more winter hats around.
Probably the snowball maker schematic for engineers, but you only have one chance per toon to pick it up on completion of saving the holidays from the Greenche. The rest is ultimately low-level frilly stuff most 70+ people will never actually use.
You can focus one and use

as well.
There's like 100 ways to get the same effect.

so if i saved one of the winter hats from last year (i'm a huge packrat... it's one of my weaknesses) then i just need to get a tailor to make shit? and i'm high enough cooking, and i already have ogrila capped so i can just do the bombing run, then i'm basically good to go to lag my way through the achievement?
Yes. You can just borrow the boots/chest as well, they don't bind.
I don't think even the colors have to match, I'm not too sure though. But now both factions should be able to make both colors. The opposing color can be bought off the vendors provided you fight/die your way into the opposing city to talk to said vendor.
I can confirm that the red and green hats are 100% drop from certain specific bosses in Northrend, normal and heroic.
I farmed Telestra in Nexus (regular) the last 2 nights and got about 13 hats for people (and one for me). She is a very easy kill/farm for any group with solid heals and a capable tank. Once you down her, just step out of the instance and reset for another go.

You don't even need a tank for the Nexus boss, we zerged it with 5 DPS repeatedly (boomkin healing between pulls).
Need it for the 310% violet proto drake.
I'm in no rush, my warrior won't be able to complete it till the end of 2010 anyway, assuming I haven't made a new main/am still playing.
