During the Feast of Winter Veil, the Red Winter Hat was a very rare (<0.5%) world drop for humanoid and undead mobs.[citation needed]
For boss drops, it should be 100% for Heroic mode and around 5-10% for Normal mode.[citation needed]
As of 
, the hat no longer drops from old vanilla dungeon bosses or Outland dungeon bosses:
- Northrend drops
- [72+ - 82+] Grand Magus Telestra (1st boss) in The Nexus, Borean Tundra
- [75+ - 82+] Jedoga Shadowseeker (3rd of 5 bosses) in Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom, Dragonblight
- Cataclysm drops
- [87+] Admiral Ripsnarl (last boss; Heroic mode-only) in The Deadmines, Westfall
- [82+ - 87+] Corla, Herald of Twilight (2nd boss) in Blackrock Caverns
- [84+ - 87+] High Priestess Azil (last boss) in The Stonecore
Note: You will know if the boss will drop the hat only if the hat is shown on the boss' head.
In Mists of Pandaria
Drop rate appears to be quite low (<1%):
- [??] General Nazgrim (last boss) in Gates of Retribution, Siege of Orgrimmar
Prior to Cataclysm
At the same time, the hat is also a boss drop for specific mobs based on which expansions the player owns.
With the Cataclysm expansion Grand Magus Telestra only drops the hat in heroic mode.[citation needed]
For those that own only the basic game, the hat drops from:
- Emperor Dagran Thaurissan in Blackrock Depths
- Cannon Master Willey in Stratholme
- War Master Voone in Lower Blackrock Spire
For those that own The Burning Crusade, the boss drops change to:
- Captain Skarloc in Escape from Durnholde Keep
- Nethermancer Sepethrea in The Mechanar
- High Botanist Freywinn in The Botanica
For those that also own Wrath of the Lich King, the boss drops change to:
In 2007 the hat dropped from all six Azeroth and Outland bosses regardless of expansions owned.
