Dialogue
 * "It is that time of year again. A time of decision and division.  Wintersday, the season during which two of the gods compete to see which of them will dominate the next year, and whether winter will continue to reign over the land.  During the first snow, children build snowmen to show their support for Dwayna, the goddess of light, air, and warmth.  These snowmen, the Brrrls, are symbols of their innocence and belief in all that is warm and bright.  The Brrrls keep the servants of Grenth, the cold and bitter Grentches, at bay during these chilly times."
 * "A priestess of Dwayna named Joy has appeared in Lion's Arch. This winter has been the coldest in years, and Dwayna needs all the support she can get to ensure spring arrives on schedule.  You should speak with Joy and show your support for Dwayna by building a snowman of your own, one far stronger than the average Brrrl.  Go, hero, and save Wintersday.  For the children!  For the children, I say!"

Walkthrough
None of these items will actually show up in your inventory, you just need to talk to the specific NPC to get them:
 * Vanguard Kyle has the 2 pieces of coal are in Ascalon City next to Symon the Scribe.
 * King Jalis has the pipe in Droknar's Forge.
 * Magi Malaquire has the hat in Lion's Arch.
 * Kill the Humbugs and Grentches (including Grentchus Magnus) in Nebo Village. Picking up Freezie is not required.

Note: While from the context of the quest dialogue the order of obtaining items does not seem to matter, you have to obtain them in the prescribed order.

This mission can be beaten without obtaining any of the items, however. If you are in a party that manages to complete the final portion of the quest, you will get full credit for the quest. This is a good way for characters who have not yet reached Droknar's Forge to earn a fairly easy 5,000 experience. Grentchus Magnus carries the Grenth's Balance Elite skill, which is normally not available before Dragon's Lair, so aspiring Necromancers may want to bring a Signet of Capture.

Note
When the last objective of this quest (kill Humbags and Grentchs) is active, the Avatar of Dwayna (NPC) in Nebo Terrace cannot be summoned even if the player's region has favor.
