Next week after maintenance the Christmas Event should start. There have been a couple of new Dev's Diary about this:

In any case, what I would like to tell you now is a bit about the research we did at the test server in relation to treasure searches.
We built a spreadsheet and we asked people to fill in their results in hopes of getting an idea of which Treasure Search yielded the most presents.
As expected the VERY LONG searches give the most presents in one go (up to 50 presents each time). But if you actually calculate the number of presents you get by search hour then it's the SHORT SEARCH that beats the odds.
Here is some data (for normal scout search times - no upgrades)
| Search type | Presents per hour |
| Short | 0.5723 |
| Medium | 0.4000 |
| Long | 0.4231 |
| Very Long | 0.3030 |
This means, on average, we get 0.57 presents per hour of short searches, versus the 0.3 presents per hour with very long searches.
These numbers may or may not change when things start here on the live servers. This is what we found back at the Test Server.
Still, it seems a good way to get Presents!
For the more curious ones here are the number of searches we did:
| Search type | Number of Searches |
| Short | 83 |
| Medium | 75 |
| Long | 65 |
| Very Long | 66 |
Also, if your scouts are fast and you have treasure hunting special abilities unlocked you may get some better numbers than this.
Here's a few screenshots:
