Animal Crossing: New Horizons celebrates Christmas today in the shape of Toy Day. During the event you will have to make wrapping paper and hand out gifts.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons also celebrates Christmas today. On your island it got wintry all of December and today the time has finally come and the toy day can begin. We'll tell you what you can experience during the event, what wrapping paper is and what rewards you can receive.
This is how toy day works
You can complete the toy day event throughout the day. So that you don't miss it in the first place, Melinda also points it out in the island announcement.
Until when does the event last: You can play Toy Day from December 24th at 5:00 a.m. to December 25th at 4:59 a.m. Only during this period is Chris, the black-nosed reindeer, on your island.
Where can you find Chris? The reindeer usually runs across the forecourt at the service center or nearby. So stop by there today and speak to him to start your first assignment.

Make holiday wrapping paper & find tree decorations
As a first task, Chris gives you instructions for making the holiday wrapping paper. He needs three of them to wrap the presents that he has with him for all the islanders. For handicrafts you need a total of three different tree decorations each.

How to get tree ornaments: To get red jewelry, blue jewelry and gold jewelry, you have to shake decorative fir trees. On your island, several fir trees are wrapped in fairy lights. Shake it until you have enough tree decorations.
Your fir trees are currently being festively decorated. Your fir trees are currently being festively decorated.
There are more recipes for your tree decorations until January 6th. We'll tell you how to get here:

The 1st reward: If you have made enough holiday wrapping paper, you should return to Chris. As a reward for your efforts, he has a chic toy socks set for you. As soon as you receive this, you should go straight to your house and hang it on the wall there.
This is important so that you get another reward from Chris on December 25th. Because suddenly there is a framed photo of him in the socks. But you urgently have to examine the socks the next day, as the picture is only available as a reward on December 25th.
Receive a gift bag & distribute gifts to residents
For the second task, you will receive a gift bag from Chris to ultimately distribute the gifts to your residents.
Presents for the residents: Now you have to play Santa Claus for your island residents. Talk to her about it while you put on the gift bag. During the dialogue, you can then give them the gift. In case you're wondering what kind of gifts they're getting. Inside the game, residents simply receive an apple wrapped in wrapping paper that they cannot put up (via Animal Crossing Wiki).
Dress up as Santa Claus: The tailor sisters currently have Santa Claus and Santa Claus costumes. If you put them on when you distribute gifts to your residents, then give them a suitable comment.
