Isn't that too late? I mean, the prerelease is the 13th right?
I know it's weird
Either A he's lying and it's actually Christmas Day is when it starts
Or B they are going to double the amount of spoilers so it's a One week of spoiler season.
Most likely *officially* spoilers start Jan 1st,but we get some stuff spoiled early (we just got the Vraska and Angrath deck cards).

Kiora PW card was spoiled on Christmas Day. I would be surprised if they didn't have at least one.....although i'm not sure what it would be since we already got the incredibly lackluster Immortal Sun.

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
I believe they spoiled Ugin as "Christmas present" a few years back, they might do it again this year.
IIRC we got Ajani last year spoiled for Xmas too.
I also remember before Gatecrash came out they spoiled 5 cards (one per day during the week of Christmas) that showed off the guilds mechanic. Official spoilers started the week after so they where a little more generous.

Ajani @ Christmas day revealed is not true i believe.
It was way earlier. Almost same time as DD Planeswalkers were revealed & that was Dec. 6th i think to recall.
They gave us a few spoilers at Christmas time last year (I know as I either worked on or started the Name and Number Crunch for whatever set that was), with the main spoilers happening starting on January 1. Iirc, we got a couple mythics spoiled and the entire Master's set, sans Planar Bridge and Paradox Engine.

Modern - UB Mill (casual)
EDH - Meren's Grave Shenanigans
Yes, however we are talking about the official spoiler season so to speak: the two to three week time frame that ends a week before the pre-release with the full set being revealed.
I hope we get something before January. Seems rushed if they don't put out some teaser spoilers before the new year considering the set drops so quickly after.
Since this is a small set, I believe it would be one week of spoilers. Correct me if I am wrong though.
Over the past several years, there have always been two weeks of spoilers for Standard sets. It's supplemental sets that are typically limited to only 1 week of spoilers.

Could be that they are mixing things up, though?
Could very well be. The distribution of major cards in spoiler season does get a lot of criticism.
They are packing too many products in, they just released Un so they're probably taking an extended break before pushing the next set so people 'stay interested' in the current release.
We got late spoilers previously when a Modern Masters dropped sandwiched between sets. It was a long wait for the next standard spoilers and they poured them out quickly when they did come.

Thats the not the case at all. They normally start spoilers around ~3 weeks before release of the set which for Rivals falls on Christmas and WoTC gives the employee the week off.

Honestly with the lack of standard attendance right now I'm not sure how many people will give much of a crap about this set, which will be overshadowed by energy, unless they really build up some hype. And that means it better be an awesome set, and they better start giving us a reason to care.
If FNM doesn't even fire why bother buying new cards?

This is likely due to Christmas Day being the day it was suppose to start.

Nothing to do with the spoiler season though

For those curious, I did some looking and Wizards spoiled three cards outright (Ajani Unyielding, Consulate Crackdown, and Oath of Ajani), gave us the packaging and PW deck face cards, promos (Scrap Trawler, Quicksmith Rebel, Trophy Mage, and Yahenni's Expertise), and Tezzeret's PW art all in December, prior to going on Christmas break.

Are you allowed to stream the beta version of Arena? I thought there was an NDA to be signed.
