The holiday season has officially taken over Grow a Garden, and this year’s Christmas update is all about rewarding players who show up and stay active. With exclusive loot, fresh mechanics, and limited-time prizes, it’s the perfect moment to dive back in and make the most of every day.

1. The Christmas Harvest: Community Grind

The centerpiece of the event is the Christmas Harvest, a community-driven challenge similar to past hits like the Safari Harvest Event. Players must contribute newly added holiday crops toward a shared goal.

Reaching contribution tiers unlocks:

  • Personal rewards
  • New items added to Santa’s Shop for everyone

This cooperative grind fuels the entire event economy—so the more the community farms, the richer the rewards become.

2. The Must-Do: Advent Calendar

If there's one feature you absolutely can’t skip, it’s the Christmas Advent Calendar. Simply logging in each day earns you a high-value reward, with rumored prizes including:

  • Rare fertilizers
  • Unique cosmetics
  • Event-exclusive Pet Shards
  • Possible Sheckles boosts

Miss a day, and you miss a present—so make those daily logins count.

3. Santa’s Shop: Exclusive Limited-Time Loot

Santa’s Shop is the seasonal hotspot for spending your Sheckles, and this year’s inventory is packed with holiday exclusives:

New Event Seeds

  • Gingerbread Blossom Seed
  • Holly Berry Seed
  • Snowman Sprout Seed

These special crops may feature unique mutations and strong sell values—perfect for min-maxers and collectors.

Event Gears & Cosmetics

Expect festive items like the Christmas Firework gear, a limited-time collectible that’s sure to become a future bragging-rights item.

Event Pets

The highlight for many will be the new Mythical Christmas-themed Pets, predicted to be the rarest and most desirable rewards this season.

4. New Crafting Recipes

Players can now craft brand-new event seeds, eggs, pets, and gear, making resource management more important than ever.

To stay ahead:

  • Gather materials early
  • Refine resources consistently
  • Craft top-tier gear to speed up your harvest

The event heavily rewards players who plan ahead and optimize their workflow.
