Animal Crossing New Horizon's Winter Update - New Content?
It's hard to make any definitive suggestions right now, not least when we still haven't experienced the Fall update.
But, it does seem incredibly likely that some of the gameplay mechanics used for the Fall Update and Halloween will be reused for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
In this case, it seems a given we'll see new outfits/costumes players will be able to purchase which celebrate this unique season.
Everything from Santa outfits to little reindeer antlers we bet.
Equally, during Halloween players can be seen to purchase candy at the store, used for DIY recipes. We imagine we'll see something similar for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Not to mention, a bevvy of new festive decorations to adorn your home and island.
Take a look at the Halloween trailer below to give you a sense of what we can expect. Only, obviously, it'll be Thanksgiving and Christmas themed!
Stay tuned for more info as and when it arrives!
