Kind of surprised I didn't see a thread about this. An article on the Mothership today previewed the 2015 Holiday Gift box, which now comes with five, instead of four booster packs! The MSRP remains the same at $19.99, so it's a pretty solid value, especially considering all of the lands that are included in each box.
Anyhow, here's the image of it:
EDIT: Looks like they corrected the article to say that the MSRP is now $24.99. Damn you and your greed, Wizards!

This will be fantastic if the lands they include are full art ones. I know full art Lands have been confirmed, but not sure if the second set will have them too and this could be coming out around then.

Nice, I got mine Khans holiday box last Christmas from my mother in law and I cracked a foil delta (^_^), this one will make another great present. The box is great for holding a cube and the value is fine.
So that's $20 MSRP just off of the packs...and then the box, the promo card, and all of the extra stuff is thrown in. Seems like good value, at least.
(Have only gotten the Theros box, and the quality is...not spectacular, though I don't know how much of that is the box quality itself and how much is my poor handling of it early on. Still, if the quality has gotten worse since then...mrgh. I might still get it just as "free" extra storage, though.)

The quality of the Theros ones was horrible. I know of many boxes that got broken in the corners easily. I really hope they raised the quality for the BFZ boxes. About full art lands, judging by past decisions, I think those will be exclusive to boosters.

They put them in ZEN and WWK Fat Packs, and this is a similar product.

That box looks awesome! 5 boosters is a welcome change and if the foil alt-art card is at least decent there's no reason for me to not buy at least one box this time.
I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.

I stand corrected. For some reason I remembered that fatpacks had regular lands instead of full art.
Now the real question is - are we in for another "Priceless Treasures" promotion?
Would be nice if the lands are full art but adding a pack makes these a nice deal since the boxes are nice for storage and transporting commander decks.

Stay tuned and watch them announce priceless treasures this time - Zen fetchlands in boosters (ratio approx 1:2392 packs)

But that box was really good.
The quality was going down A LOT for the box itself.
I really wish they would go back to the RTR quality, or even better.
In that case i would buy a lot of them, otherwise they can burn in hell.

I approve!
Hopefully it also has full-art lands... seems likely since it's a gift item and all.

yes, the RTR one was great. The Theros one was disappointing in comparison, but still not too bad. The KTK box quality was HORRIBLE!

I'll trade box quality for another pack. Yay!
