You’ll finally be able to put those pumpkins to use by collecting them as ingredients for him to cook.

Dress up in a Santa hat and jacket to celebrate with your villagers and Jingle the “black-nosed reindeer”. Interact with your villagers by helping to deliver presents to themand watch their cute faces light up!
