Tinsel Dragons are a special breed in three color variations (Gold, Silver and Bronze) obtainable through an event occurring during the Christmas Holidays. The first Tinsels were given to the winners of the Tree Decorating contest in 2010: 5 first-place winners received a Gold Tinsel variation, 10 second-place winners received a Silver Tinsel variation and 15 third-place winners received a Bronze Tinsel variation.
Tinsels were given out as prizes again for the Holiday Raffle 2011 (in number of 5 CB Gold Tinsels, 10 CB Silver Tinsels and 15 CB Bronze Tinsels) and then for the Holiday Raffle 2013 (alongside Shimmer-scale Dragons, in the number of 10 CB Gold Tinsels, 20 CB Silver Tinsels and 30 CB Bronze Tinsels). They were given out again for the Holiday Raffle 2014, with the winners receiving 50 CB Gold Tinsels, 100 CB Silver Tinsels, and 150 CB Bronze Tinsels. As such, there now exist 70 CB Gold, 140 CB Silver and 210 CB Bronze Tinsels. Tinsel Dragons weren't given out in the Holiday Raffle 2012 because they were replaced by a new kind of prize, the Shimmer-scale Dragons. Shortly after Tinsels were handed out, they were considered extremely rare and one of the most valuable breeds on the site. However, with a radical increase in popularity, and thus breeding, they are becoming steadily more common. Currently they are considered between rare and uncommon.
This breed hasn't an official name, but their spriter Marrionetta has stated that she refers to them as Tinsel Dragons. In the beginning many members of the DC community also called them Prize Dragons but then this name, since the release of the Shimmer-scales, has been used for referring to all the breeds released as award. If a scroll is sorted by breed, they appear alphabetized as "Prize 2010".
Breeding two different colors of Tinsel together, just as with two different colors of Shimmer, will only ever produce one color. (Example: Gold x Silver produces only silvers) This depends on the pairing and appears to be random; it is not always the more common color or the less common color. It may be because the system views the colors as the same breed, as it used to with holiday dragons from the same holiday.
Like Holiday Dragons, this breed was eligible for a Spriter's Alt and Marrionetta was given one with the requested code of (Penk), who is a pink-recolored Silver Tinsel; therefore, Penk's Tinsel eggs are always silver-coloured.
