According to a rumor, Animal Crossing: New Horizons will be getting a Christmas update shortly, with new and returning festive items.
According to rumors, an imminent update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons will add new holiday-themed products to the healthy social simulation game. Players may create, build, and administer their island community populated by numerous animal villagers in Nintendo’s cute game. Throughout Animal Crossing: New Horizons, seasonal events have been featured, with players’ reactions to each festivity’s elements varying.
Like previous Animal Crossing games, New Horizons allows players to celebrate the holidays in their unique style. The festivities in the most recent chapter, on the other hand, have been widely panned by fans. Bunny Day, the inaugural holiday event in April 2020 and let players celebrate Easter and the spring season. Unfortunately, this incident resulted in a flood of collectible eggs, which could be obtained by completing simple tasks such as fishing or digging. This resulted in participants being bombarded with a massive swarm of eggs, which irritated them regardless of whether they liked the holiday event or not. The 2020 winter holiday event in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, on the other hand, was a huge hit, featuring a slew of new objects and villages for players to encounter.
According to a new leak from ComicBook.com, Animal Crossing: New Horizons may be getting a holiday update shortly. Samus Hunter, a well-known leader who has previously released early information on other Nintendo games, is credited with the alleged leak. According to the supposed leaks, the game’s Christmas update will reintroduce the Holiday Festivities launched last year. New things, however, are expected to be added to make the end of the year even more festive.
A new update for #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons should be near. It won't be something big, it could also be one of those mini updates that downloads when the game is running, just something that will bring back the Holiday Festifivities for this year and some new items.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons may be gearing up for another holiday festival, but Nintendo‘s social simulation game just got a significant update. The game’s Happy Home Paradise DLC, released on November 5, serves as the game’s first and final paid expansion.
