I told myself that I wanted to try and do more Hogwarts-centric plots this year, and I've got a good roster of students to do things with! The fall/winter ~festivities~ make themed events (and misfortunes!) much easier than they would be in the spring, which is why I present: the thread where we brainstorm winter and fall-themed mini-events or mini-plots.
Obviously in the past years we've had the enchanted mistletoe, and while it adds drama and helps ships sail every now and then, it gets respective after a while. Consider:
I absolutely suck at fall events because I usually don't celebrate the fall holidays IRL, so ideas are welcome :P

- Corn maze — A corn maze pops up on the grounds overnight. Get lost in it and encounter magical creatures and magical objects along the way.
- Mistlefoe — Gives the character an overwhelming urge to fight with (verbally or physically) the character they're stuck with.
- Portkey Christmas trees — Touch one and your character ends up in a completely different area of the castle. Be prepared to wander endlessly or get stuck somewhere you shouldn't be!
- Secret Santa(ish) — Gifts are sent out by a single mystery recipient, only they sign the gifts with names of other students. Awkward gifts lead to awkward interactions.
