Do you have any reindeer; they drop coal.

For coal you could just chop iron rich rock piles. You get some ore and silver too.
Adding: I meant specifically Iron Rich Rock piles. But I agree baby Flygers and the little Reindeer are good too. If you have them.
I've been chopping lots of rocks and not seeing coal barely at all. Not much ore either. This is going to take awhile.
If you have a small army of baby flygers they are even better as you get iron ore and coal which both need replenishing with the helmets.
It's times like this I'd love to have a market to send/sell items to other players...should put that on the wish list :)
The volcanic rock is a great source of coal and iron ore. It's not a guaranteed drop, but with a three minute timer, it's been my best source so far. Pity I only kept two for decoration :o
I just completed the event. I chopped mostly the rock outcroppings for coal getting a few gold nuggets along the way. I could be wrong, but I seemed to collect one coal for every 2 to 4 chops. You all have plenty of time to complete the event even if you’re having difficulty with the coal, just hang in there.
