One diligent Animal Crossing: New Horizons player has displayed their snow-covered sweet maple sugar-themed house on the game’s official website. Fortunately, with the Christmas season being in full swing, gamers may really enjoy themselves by playing Animal Crossing 2.0, which brought a slew of new holiday-themed products to Nintendo’s social simulator and was recently implemented.
This means that the in-game date, time, and season are all based on the system clock of the Nintendo Switch. New Horizons is a title that takes place in real-time, which means that the in-game date, time, and season are all dependent on the system clock of the Nintendo Switch. Individuals desiring to complete certain tasks more quickly can always time travel by altering the console’s clock. However, this feature can have negative consequences for unwary players, and jumping ahead does not necessarily indicate what the game will look like on that specific day, especially when updates are imminent. Anyone in the Animal Crossing community who was looking forward to the holidays a bit early might have taken benefits of the opportunity to at the very least get a sense of what the game would be like before the release date was announced. There is no longer any reason for players to speculate unless they are curious about what will happen in the first few weeks of the new year.
An image posted on Reddit by user IslaBubba showed their seasonally snow-covered shack dwelling, complete with bottles and canisters of maple syrup scattered about. The maple syrup emblem, which appears in various sizes throughout the scene, was designed by IslaBubba as part of a bespoke ACNH graphic for the purpose of enhancing the overall aesthetics. Due to the fact that their build has a significant amount of the fourth and final major food group, the Reddit user’s post contained a fitting quote from the movie Elf.
Certain products depicted in IslaBubba’s invention are only available during certain seasons, such as the Bathtub with Yuzu, which received some notice in the comments. When it is available, it can be found via the Nook Shopping software on the NookPhone, which can be downloaded for free. If you’re interested in getting one, a time-traveling commenter on IslaBubba’s article said that it would be available around December 15, along with some other festive goods.
Even though New Horizons is entering its second holiday season since its launch, it is still astonishing to watch the types of creativity that continue to come out of the Animal Crossing community. New Animal Crossing-inspired structures and dialogues seem to be popping up everywhere, and the ingenuity that has surrounded the game does not look to be decreasing any time in the near future. Even while the holiday season is still young, it is probable that much more joyful Animal Crossing: New Horizons designs will emerge before the game’s official release date of 2022 is reached.
