Guide to Toy Day in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Toy Day, like Christmas, takes place on the same day every year. Unlike Thanksgiving and Turkey Day, the date never changes, i.e., December 24, which is typically Christmas Eve. The main event of Toy Day will take place from 5:00 AM local time on December 24 and run an entire 24 hours till 5:00 AM on December 25.

Prior to the event, players need to begin acquiring toys from Nook's Cranny so they can give them to their villagers. Islands can have up to 10 villagers, so it may take a bit of time to get enough toys for all of them.

On Toy Day, December 25, the event will begin at 6:00 PM. Players can find Jingle the Reindeer in front of Resident Services. He will be hosting the event.

Players can help Jingle complete the tasks assigned and they will unlock Jingle's Photo for their home. This is the secret item that players can unlock on Toy Day.
