"Welcome to Festive Favors! My name is Joxar, and I consider myself an elemental enthusiast! I believe every element is incredible and demands a party!"
Joxar is a male Wind[1]Mirror dragon who can be found at the Grand Exchange. He has unlimited amounts of the items he sells (barring Spare Inventory Crates, which are one per player, per holiday). However, they are only available for purchase during elemental holidays, as those are when he opens for business; when a holiday ends, his shop closes until the next one (during this time, "Joxar is so enthusiastic about festivals that he spends just about every waking moment between preparing for the next one"[2]).
The Elemental Festival Shop accepts holiday currency, which can be acquired exclusively during festivals by gathering in any region, defeating neutral/respectively-aligned enemies in the Coliseum, or by creating it at Baldwin's Bubbling Brew. Color variant items from Joxar's Spare Inventory are purchased with Prismatic Tokens, a special holiday currency that can only be acquired through Spare Inventory Crates, or via a level 16 Baldwin recipe.
Joxar's holiday-themed merchandise is usable by all dragons, regardless of elemental alignment; this is to encourage other flights to display, celebrate, and revere the element that is active.[3] The merchandise sold within the Elemental Festival Shop consists of an elemental flight's scene, a large piece of apparel, an elemental holiday familiar, and one other item—usually a smaller, themed apparel item, though in 2016 and 2017, forum vistas were offered instead.
Joxar's Spare Inventory, a separate tab to Festive Favors, was introduced during the 2017 Brightshine Jubilee.[4] Here, each player may purchase one Spare Inventory Crate per holiday for 80,000 , and trade in Prismatic Tokens for exclusive color variants of past—and sometimes retired—holiday items.
Joxar greets the player by saying, "Can't get enough of festivals? Me neither! In fact, I've actually got way too many party favors laying around! Every festival, I can sell you one of my Spare Inventory Crates as well as offer a selection of unique color variations of past items. Have a look, there's something for everyone!"

In addition to the above, Joxar also sells the Sparkling Capricorn - the twelfth familiar in the set of otherwise elemental zodiac familiars.
Each holiday cycle has a theme for both familiars and a varying set of items. In addition to the changing yearly themes, from 2013 to 2021, a set of Elemental Emblems were available, but have since been replaced with Flight Scenes. The fourth item available from Joxar is typically a larger-coverage piece of apparel with no unifying theme.
The following items were available for purchase though the Festive Favors shop during their respective holidays. Four items are available for purchase each holiday. The Emblems were available every cycle from 2013-2020 before being replaced with the Flight Scenes starting with the June 2021 cycle. The other three items available change each year. The items from the first three cycles (excluding Emblems) went into retirement once their festival ended. All other festival items can be obtained randomly though Joxar's Spare Inventory Crates.
The portrait of Joxar that appears on the button linking to the Spare Inventory section of the shop was mistakenly given light purple eyes rather than his actual light green eyes. This was fixed on October 31st, 2017.[5]
Joxar and his shop received an art refresh on July 24th, 2022.[6]
After the Grand Exchange's release in August 2022, Joxar's two shops were available both there and from the Festive Favors link in the site sidebar. The Festive Favors link was removed and the shops officially migrated to the Grand Exchange starting in October with the 2022 Riot of Rot.
Trivia[]
In Joxar's current artwork, he is seen flipping a Prismatic Token, with a small pile of them sitting behind him.
