Animal Crossing: New Horizons 1.6.0 Winter Update Changelog

It was just a few days back that we published a sort of a Winter Update hype post celebrating the upcoming content update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Whaddayaknow, Update 1.6.0 is now out, and it's brought a heap of goodies, features, and interesting tidbits to play around with.

Just below, you'll find the full patch notes for Update 1.6.0, but the vertical slice is simple. We've got two awesome new events in front of us: Turkey Day and Toy Day, and they'll be bringing Franklin and Jingle NPCs respectively. There are home storage capacity increases to earn, all-new Reactions to... well, react with, and a slew of cosmetic items to enjoy during the holiday season.
