Introduction
The way seasonal bosses work is changing significantly in 3.3.3.
Seasonal Bosses - The Current System
Form your group manually, then head to the instance the boss is in. The boss is summoned by completing a daily quest, so each player can summon the boss once each day. This means 5 summons for a full party. Kill the boss and collect your loot.
Problems with the Current System
There are many problems with the current system.
•It can take a long time to get to the instances where these bosses are.
•Doing the same fight five times in a row (without even resetting the instance) isn't fun or flavorful.
•The system was being exploited by scammers, who would repeatedly form groups and not use their summons. There's no good away in the current system to avoid getting scammed other than grouping only with people you know.
•People were using large numbers of alts to get far more summons per day than Blizzard intended.
The New System
With a group of 1-5 players, queue up for the holiday boss using the LFD system:
If you didn't queue up with a full party, you'll be matched up with randoms to complete your party. Once everyone accepts the group, you'll be teleported to the holiday boss area in the instance.
Talk to the boss to start the fight. Kill the boss, but instead of dropping loot each player will get a loot bag.
You will only get the loot bag the first time each day, however. You can do the boss again to help friends, but you won't get another loot bag. _________________

That means your chances of getting useful Loot or Achievement Loot or a Holiday Mount are significantly reduced.. as if it weren't low enough as it stands. _________________
