Activities During the Christmas Season
Communicate with Residents
Before Christmas Eve, engage with your villagers to learn about their desired gifts. Ask them about their preferences in terms of the type and color of gifts they would like to receive. Keep a record of their requests throughout the month to ensure you remember each one.
Purchase Christmas Furniture
You can buy special Christmas-themed furniture from Nook’s Cranny, similar to the October festivities. It is advisable to collect all available items before the event concludes, as they are offered for a limited time. The festive series will be available from December 15 to January 6, featuring items such as:
- Illuminated Reindeer
- Illuminated Present
Decorating your island with these festive items will help create a cheerful Christmas atmosphere.
Dress Up as Santa
You can purchase a complete Santa outfit during the event. The Santa Hat, Santa Beard, Santa Coat, and Santa Pants are available at the Able Sisters. Santa Boots can be obtained from Kicks. Make sure to acquire these items between December 1 and December 23. If you miss the opportunity to purchase the items separately, the entire outfit will be available for sale on December 24.
Event Day Activities
Find Jingle
On Christmas Eve, Jingle will arrive on your island at 6 PM. To engage with him, ensure you are wearing the complete Santa suit. If you are dressed as Santa, he will ask for your assistance in delivering presents to the villagers.
Assist Jingle in Gift Delivery
It is crucial to remember that the villagers will not sleep until they receive their Christmas presents. You must deliver the correct gifts to each villager; failing to do so will disappoint them and result in a less joyful Christmas.
Receive Jingle’s Rewards
If you successfully deliver the presents, you will earn furniture from the Jingle series as well as a Christmas wreath from Jingle himself. Furthermore, if you correctly deliver at least eight presents, you will receive Jingle’s photograph the following day.
