2018
The 2018 Christmas Chaos tournament concluded on December 22, 2018. The final battle featured the Pirates, Templars, and Elite Guardians — locked in a three-way clash. The Pirates emerged victorious, leveraging their superior size of approximately 80-82 participants to dominate the Stadium and Iceberg rooms. According to official reports, both the Elite Guardians and Templars forfeited during the battle, leading to the Pirates’ triumph. This victory granted them an in-game code for their full uniform, available to their members.

2019
The Christmas Chaos Finals of 2019 between the Dark Warriors and Doritos is remembered as one of the greatest battles in Club Penguin army history. Both armies maxed over 135 troops, turning a one-bar server into a five-bar server. This resulted from almost 300 troops combined and hundreds more spectating. The battle, almost an hour, was marked by controversy, including leader crashes due to failing servers and early room entries that forced multiple room changes. Despite the intensity, the judges declared a majority draw, with both armies sharing the victory.
The road to this historic battle was equally dramatic. Just weeks before the tournament’s conclusion, Freezie66, a key Doritos leader and re-creator, announced his resignation to revive the Dark Warriors, an army close to his heart. Freezie expressed his desire to make the army community competitive again, believing that the Doritos deserved strong rivals. His departure stunned the community, coinciding with the Pirates merging into the Dark Warriors and forming a leadership team of Freezie66, xiUnknown, Spi101, and Epic101. This resurgence of the Dark Warriors revitalized the army scene, fueling intense battles and bringing the community to life once more.
