Expected return window

Possible: Dec 8 – Jan 7

Crackdown typically returns about every 177 days, and it has been gone 8; 12 of its 17 Item Shop returns came during Winterfest across 7 years, so we center the prediction on the next Winterfest window (Dec 8 – Jan 7) instead of spreading it across the year; its seasonal timing repeats year after year, which raises our confidence in the window.
