All Pokémon Go Winter Wishes Timed Research tasks and rewards

The Winter Holiday event is underway with its first part in Pokémon Go, which means players will see certain Ice-type and festive Pokémon wearing costumes spawning more frequently. It also means plenty of Timed Research, both free and paid, to complete for a sleigh-full of rewards. 

A set of special Winter Wishes Timed Research will be available during both Winter Holiday events from Dec. 18 to 25 and Dec. 25 to 31 and paid content themed around the event will be purchasable in two parts—one $2 ticket for both events. 

For the Winter Wishes research, you will also need to choose between prioritizing catching Pokémon or collecting Stardust, though the main thing it changes is what rewards you will get and a few of the research tasks.

Here is a full breakdown of both Pokémon Go Winter Holiday paths.
