There's still a few things to be added to the secret hats answer:

GlorfindelSecret hats for Winter Bash 2021 Thought Bubble Trigger: Spotting Scope Trigger: Unknown Detective Trigger: Monologue Trigger: Dialogue Trialogue Trigger: Quadalogue Trigger: Defender of the Unicorn Trigger: E-pic Trigger: One buried penny Trigger: Two buried pennies ...

@Rob I think those triggers remain unknown!
These hats are mysteries, lost to the ages. The files, burned. The disks, smashed. No one will know the forbidden secrets. No one will know why, how, when, these hats were bequeathed - how could so many receive such adornments, but with uncompromising, veiled confusion? Anyway, see you next year!

@Slate Each year a post is kept of the information from each year.
(Well, I guess unless @YaakovEllis wants to crack open the cask of forbidden knowledge. Not sure what we actually do with unsolved hats.)

@Rob And I guess that it will just stay that way. Maybe provide some more motivation for next year
18:37
@YaakovEllis It could also have the opposite effect.
19:51
@YaakovEllis Huh, I wonder why nobody didn't get the hat.

I wonder if, given that it was the continuation hat for three others, the trigger for Helping Heart could be revealed. Seems unlikely to be reused in later years
@Slate thanks for the nice wrap-up of WB2021. When you write It is also worth congratulating U12-Forward and double-beep, for being in the top five two years in a row you forgot me? I was 5th last year:).
Also I would suggest to mention @richardec who became 6th and best "rookie of the year" for their 1st time participation. It was great fun, looking forward to WB22, thanks

Thank you @Vickel :D
I also earned Cleanup, if that's interesting :)
the trigger of which hasn't been discovered
I told you I would mention your performance, I wrote something, like a little thank you speech for a Meta post, but I don't think WB stuff is welcome anymore, so I keep it for me:)
22:16
Oh, shoot, @Vickel. Lemme see if we can get edits in.
Must've missed that.
@Slate that would be so nice :)
thanks
22:36
@Vickel Fixed!
@Slate wow!!! thanks for the extra time!
since you are here, do you have an answer for this? meta.stackexchange.com/questions/374860/…
it's not important, but would interest me, since it might be quite rare

@YaakovEllis @nobody I agree with, as the cost started to rise beyond what the fun could be worth I found myself doing less and less, much as you now offer to do; but thanks for the official reply, and confirmation about what to do.

@Vickel I honestly have no idea. I would guess, based on what I know, probably 1 to 3 people earned it both ways.
But it's a shot in the dark.
@Slate no worries, as the post's answer say... don't waste staff's time on it. I just wondered if you had an easy SEDE or similar ... thanks anyway
Yeah, I would because I'm curious myself. But Defender of the Unicorn is uniquely difficult for me to query / I'd need access to the 2021 WB database... Possibly Yaakov would have a better answer, but at this point I honestly don't know.
Yaakov was kind enough to fix things on weekends and holidays, let him sleep :)
Let... Yaakov... sleep? I am not sure I understand the request. Hey Yaakov, can you help me understand what this sentence means
hahaha
