I'm not sure how on earth you're supposed to figure this out unless you just have an inherent distrust of moogles, but here goes.
Before you even start, turn on your chat filter for emotes. Trust me.
Every few in-game hours a Twinkling Treant and a Nomad Moogle will spawn in each of the three main cities. They appear in Windurst Woods, Bastok Markets, and Northern San d'Oria. You can /cheer the moogle on to help it defeat the treant, or /cheer the treant on to help it get to the fountain.
If you don't cheer the treant, after the treant dies you can talk to the smilebringer that appears at the fountain for a kiddie present, which you can then trade to a child if you're wearing a Dream Hat for xmas fame so that the smilebringer will teleport you to another nation. NQ Dream Hats can be purchased from the moogles in Northern San d'Oria, Windurst Waters, or Port Bastok.
If you cheer the treant, when the treant reaches the fountain it will add more decorations to it, and the smilebringer will give you a quest instead of a present when you talk to him/her. Find the NPC in the same zone that's wearing a Dream Hat, talk to them, then return to the smilebringer for an event item reward. It seems like there's a short list of NPCs that the game picks from to recieve the hat.
Starting locations for the treant:
This year's new items:
So far I have recieved Dream Robe, Dream Robe +1, a furnishing called Dream Platter, and fireworks as rewards. The Dream Platter Furnishing is from San d'Oria, Dream Stocking is recieved in Windurst, and Dream Coffer is given in Bastok. All three furnishings give two storage, so they're somewhat more functional than previous event furnishings, and each furnishing reportedly contains a holiday food that your moogle will give to you after you set up the item in your mog house layout. Dream Coffer gives Gateau aux Fraises, Dream Platter contains a Buche au Chocolat, and probably the Dream Stocking will yield a Black Pudding.
The Dream Hat +1 is obtained by the same method as previous years. Purchase a holiday tree from one of the event moogles and set it up in your mog house. Wear your NQ Dream Hat and each Vana'diel day get a present from a smilebringer, trade it to a child, and check back with your moogle. Eventually your moogle will tell you they found a present under your tree. Take it outside to open it and recieve your Dream Hat +1. You may need to be in your home nation to get the present.
