They've left it a bit late if they are, six days until Christmas and not a peep. Last year was already a smaller give away than the years before which were a full advent calendar leading up to Christmas. Given the rather lackluster Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Christmas sales I think they've just decided giving us stuff for less than RRP is a bad idea
Yea, the last two years' 12-Day Give aways were fun.
I liked the downloadable Beholder ornament (I laminated a half dozen of them to give to friends).
I have not seen any announcements for this year, so I would assume they are not doing anything like that.
Oh well... There is always next year :)

Breathe, dragons; sing of the First World, forged out of chaos and painted with beauty. Sing of Bahamut, the Platinum, molding the shape of the mountains and rivers; Sing too of Chromatic Tiamat, painting all over the infinite canvas. Partnered, they woke in the darkness; partnered, they labored in acts of creation.
They kinda haven't been doing promotions, give aways or the like as much this year in general so this fits the pattern.

They got a lot of blowback in the past... wouldn't suprise me if they decided it wasn't worth it.

If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.

I'm thinking the same. Past couple of years the giveaways got a lot of ungrateful complaints from people who felt entitled to have more.
If the gifts you give are not appreciated much, what is the point in continuing to give them?
So, yeah, don't blame DDB at all.

I'm not entirely sure "entitled" is quite the right word. They weren't giving out premium dice and people were complaining because they were the wrong colour. The first couple of years I saw it, it was pretty decent, stuff I might use, with the occasional bumpf of "here's 5% off this website!". Then they turned it into an advertisement leaflet, where it wasn't about sharing cool freebies but advertising these different websites with the pretext of sharing cool freebies. I walked away when one year I was effectively barred from participating for being "not American" - most of the prizes were "X% off products at this website - North America only." Meanwhile, another website was giving me free One-shots every day. I don't expect that level of freebies, but it's for context.
I don't think it's entitled to be unenthusiastic when the pretext is freebies and instead you're given adverts. 🤷 I wasn't rude or left comments, but I'm not that bothered that it's gone either. I didn't even notice until this thread - which is probably why. Adverts don't really work when few are interested.

I really enjoyed last year's Twelve Days holiday giveaway - it was a good mix of campaigns, supplemental materials, and digital dice.
It ran in the days leading up to Christmas last year.
Does anyone know if D&D Beyond has plans to do anything similar this year?

I was wondering about that too since I don't think i saw it anywhere.
