DIY recipes available during the Animal Crossing New Year's event

As always, the DIY recipes can be obtained through normal methods. Shooting down a balloon gift, picking up a message bottle on the shore, and talking to their villagers. If they are crafting something, players can get the recipe from them, but they will only get that recipe even if it is duplicated for something they already know how to craft.

Seasonal items will be available through DIY recipes, just like any other seasonal event in Animal Crossing. Items like the balloon arch are available during this event but will be for purchase. The majority of the seasonal items will be in Nook's Cranny for several days before and after the event.

The following items (like the balloon arch) will be available during the event for Animal Crossing players:

• Silk hats- 500 bells each
• Party Poppers- 300 bells each
• Light Stick- free
• 2022 celebratory arch- 2,022 bells
• Olivier salad- 1,000 bells
• Zodiac ox figurine- 1,600 bells (may be different for 2022)
• New Year's shimekazari- 2,000 bells

The event officially begins at 11.00 PM on December 31. Before that, Tom Nook and Isabelle can give players free items. They will be found outside Resident Services since the building is closed for the day.
