In December 2019, with the [[Cupid Parliament]] having forbidden him from organising [[Christmas]] festivities ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Frost King's Treasure (novel)|The Frost King's Treasure]]'') due to the threat represented by [[Santa Claus]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Father Christmas (short story)|Father Christmas]]'') he instead organised a non-denominational “[[Festival of Giving]]” slated to cover the whole month of December. His preparations included setting up a giant Advent Calendar on the [[Mainland Cloud]].

During his preparations, he unexpectedly burst into the [[Department of Baked Goods]]' [[Department of Baked Goods' building|building]] and requested a batch of “holiday cookies”, explaining that they could be made of the same stuff as ordinary cookies but cut into specific shapes such as “trees, stars, deer, gingerbread men, that sort of thing”. With no frame of reference, Baker delivered realistic depictions of each shape, such as willow trees — his favourite — for the “trees” instead of Christmas trees, realistic deer and moose for “deer, (…) that sort of thing” instead of stylised flying reindeer, a realistic human silhouette for the “gingerbread man”, and a perfect circle to represent the true spherical appearance of stars, instead of a stylised pointy one. When Celebration began to criticise his choices, Baker protested that he's done his best based on what he'd been asked for, and instead of requesting a new batch, Celebration ended up accepting the cookies as they were.

Celebration was one of the Cupids who submitted a question to ''[[The Cupid Courier]]''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> educational Q&A about the [[Rift]]s with [[Doctor Sigma]]. However, like most Cupids in the Q&A, he simply used the opportunity to rave about his own personal hang-ups. In his case, he used the venue to argue that since the Rifts constituted an ever-present threat to the whole of the [[Multiverse]], there were no fair grounds for him to be denied the use of a ''comparatively'' harmless firework-launcher. Sigma still managed to find the germ of an interesting question in the submission, however, focusing on the implication in Celebration's letter of the possibility of the Rifts returning.
