Full List of Holiday Recipes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
We are now literally in the final week of 2020, and though it's such a short window of time for anyone to consider, Animal Crossing: New Horizon's throwing even more awesomeness our way. Up until early January you've still got the opportunity to farm out cool Holiday Recipes in New Horizons, and we're here to teach you how.
That's right: down below, we've prepared a full list of New Horizons Holiday Recipes for your consideration. All you need to do is to pick and choose which ones you like most, and then get to farming the necessary resources! First order of business? New Year's thematic items!
New Year's Items in New Horizons
As we mentioned above, there are two sets of Holiday Items for you to grab before January starts knocking. According to Isabelle's official Twitter announcement, New Year's Eve celebratory items are now available via Nook Shopping. Though there's more coming our way over the coming days, as of right now, the following items are currently available:
- Sparkling Cider - 1,000 Bells
- Berliner - 1,200 Bells
- Twelve-Grape Dish - 1,200 Bells
- New Year's Noodles - 1,300 Bells
Foodstuffs, as you can see! And fancy, snazzy foodstuffs, at that. We've heard that an in-game version of Yut Nori, a traditional Korean board game, will also be made available. Of course, we're mainly talking about furniture and placeable items here, not an actual mini-game. That said, one can dream...
To reiterate: to get these items, you simply need to open your Nook Shopping App or, alternatively, visit the in-game ATM and go to the 'Special Goods' section, then choose 'Seasonal'. That'll take you to a comprehensive and up-to-date list of purchasable New Year's Eve items in New Horizons.
Festive DIY Recipes in New Horizons
Now, sure, Christmas may have come and gone, but much like with everything else in Animal Crossing, it's a magical sort of world with a magical sort of passing of time. There's still an opportunity for you to grab Christmas-themed DIY recipes, you see - until January 6th! Of course, you'll still be able to find, say, ugly Christmas sweaters even after January 6th is up, but we're just being cheeky here.
All in all, there are 13 Festive DIY crafting recipes for you to grab until January 6th. Now, the way you'll need to go about doing that is pretty delightful on its own. Be sure to shoot down every flying Balloon Present that comes your way during this period! Every one of these has a chance to drop one of the aforementioned recipes, so be vigilant. Of course, since these are recipes, you'll still need to actually craft them. Find a full list of crafting recipes, requirements, and total resource costs down below!
