Dino Santa Hat Skin — Detailed Guide
A festive hat for mounts
The Dino Santa Hat (called Dino Santa Hat Skin in ARK: Survival Evolved) is a saddle skin in ASE and ARK: Survival Ascended. It is applied to a saddle in the survivor's inventory, and a creature wearing that saddle then shows a Santa Hat. The in-game text sums it up: "You can use this to skin the appearance of a Saddle. Make your mount look festive with this jolly hat."
Unlocking it through an achievement
The ARK Wiki says the skin is unlocked with the Veteran Paleontologist Achievement. Once a player has it, the skin shows up in their inventory each time they respawn.
The former event recipe
Before version 258.0 and the achievements as they work today, the skin could be crafted only during events: in a 
Smithy at the first ARK: Winter Wonderland, and in a 
Cooking Pot at ARK: Winter Wonderland 2. That recipe, which our records still list, was:
Fiber
Mistletoe
Pelt
HideThe wiki infobox names the Cooking Pot as the crafting station and dates the item to version 228.0. Our records give 12 XP per craft and list a crafting time of 5 seconds in ASE and a value of 0 for ASA.
Weight and stack
The skin weighs 0 and stacks to 1.
