Exciting events lined up for Animal Crossing players in 2022

1) New Year items for 2022

The last event of the year for New Horizons, Toy Day, is followed by New Year celebrations within the game. However, for 2022, players can expect some new event items as a part of the New Year celebrations. These include a 2022 arch as well as a new zodiac figure.

Although New Year celebrations are a staple in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the zodiac update arrived as part of the latest version 2.0.4.


2) Valentine's Day celebrations with Brewster

Brewster and The Roost recently made their way into New Horizons with the version 2.0 update back in November. With this, players can celebrate Valentine's Day with Brewster in the game this year.

This is not entirely a new update since it has been brought back from previous iterations of the Animal Crossing franchise.

For Valentine's Day, Brewster makes hot chocolate for players along with a pleasant conversation where he wishes players a happy valentine's day.


3) Brewster celebrates players' birthdays in the game

Brewster also makes sure ACNH players have a great birthday within the game, apart from Valentine's Day celebrations. He brews them a special drink for their birthday and makes sure he wishes them the same.

Halloween is one of the most important festivals celebrated in New Horizons every year. Although many new items were added during the recent big update, players can expect a new DIY recipe this Halloween. The recipe will be that of Spooky Cookies, which is in keeping with the spirit of Halloween.
