Winter DIY in Animal Crossing: New Horizons - A complete guide

Fall is right around the corner in Animal Crossing, but the recent 1.11.0 update has content that is set to go through Halloween. With that in mind, many players are looking ahead to the winter season in Animal Crossing.

The season is coming soon for Northern Hemisphere players - late November to mid-February is considered winter for them. Winter in Animal Crossing has always brought some really cool aesthetics and items, including some very popular DIY recipes.

Here's what to look forward to with the winter DIY in Animal Crossing.

Brrr! It's not my imagination...it really IS getting colder in the northern hemisphere! Surely I wasn't the only one who woke up to a blanket of snow this morning? Now we can make snowballs and Snowboys and watch the snowflakes fall from the sky. Isn't it cozy? pic.twitter.com/MksNsVbkvp

Winter DIY recipes coming for Animal Crossing players

Winter in Animal Crossing means snow, snowboys, winter items and more! Another update is also scheduled for the end of the year which may influence the winter season. Animal Crossing players can acquire snowflakes, which are essential to DIY recipes, by building a perfect snowboy.

In order to build a perfect snowboy, players need to find two snowballs on their island. Push these snowballs to increase their size. Make sure they reach the height of the player's face, and one is slightly smaller than the other.

Roll the smaller into the larger. If it is perfect, it will come to life and congratulate the player and give a snowflake (and each day for three days it will give one).
