The crisp chill of winter is in the air. Colorful lights twinkle and dance on both sides of the path as you make your way to Dodo Airlines. Upon entering the little building next to the dock, you are met with warmth and the soft notes of holiday music. Stepping over to the counter, you browse the various postcards on offer.

Unfortunately, none of them feel quite right for that special someone: the neighbor who always cheers you up when you're feeling down, who feels comfortable enough to barge into your home unannounced, the one who worked their way into your heart until you can't imagine life without them.

It's going to take something unique and heartfelt, something tailored specifically for them, to truly show them how much they mean to you. With this in mind, you rush back home to begin a new project.

📮 How to Participate

Design a holiday greeting card for your favorite Animal Crossing villager. The card may represent any major December holiday or Toy Day!


You may create your card digitally or traditionally, but all cards must include both an interior and an exterior and the artwork must be your own. Post your completed card in this thread along with a visible username by Tuesday, December 24th at 11:59 PM EST.


📮 Rules


  • Only one entry per person.
  • Do not edit your post after submitting unless requested to do so by a staff member.
  • Your full TBT username must be clearly visible on both pages for a digital submission or in the photo(s) for a traditional submission.
  • Your entry must be suitable for a PG-13 audience and must not violate our Rules and Guidelines.
  • Your entry must include 2 pages: (1) the exterior and (2) the interior. You may submit these together in a single image or separately as two images.
  • You must attach the images of your entry and check "entry" on the attachment's thumbnail. Please do this for both pages if you submit them as separate images. (See this post from a previous event if you're unsure how.)
  • A reasonable amount of effort should be put into your submission. Entries that appear rushed and/or submitted jokingly will not be accepted.
  • Your entry must be your own work and must comply with the TBT Art Event Submission Policies and Guidelines. This includes no AI generated work. If we have reason to believe that AI was used to generate all or part of your submission, it will not be accepted.

📮 FAQs


Q: Does my card have to be themed around a holiday?

A:
Yes, but you may choose any of the major holidays that take place in December: Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or Solstice. If none of these are ideal, you may theme your card around Toy Day! (Also, if I have unintentionally left off a holiday that's important to you, please let me know.)




🕊️ Share joy, peace, and love this holiday season! 🕊️

Leaning into my mediocre art skills a classically handmade aesthetic tradition, I made a cut-paper-and-glue card for Antonio, my best villager friend since 2006. Please note the artistic reference to the star on his purple shirt and the silhouettes of workout equipment that really elevate the entire piece.

@LadyDestani I have some questions. Can my greeting card be from my rep on my second island and does the villager have to be currently on my island?

Is there a specific size that the card needs to be?I’m going to try drawing digitally but am not sure what dimensions to set.

Ah, this was actually so fun to do! I feel kind of bad because I had to choose between my favourite villagers, but I'll send them extra stuff this Christmas instead. Ngl, I'm actually happy with how my drawing of Rocket came out.

This is so whole some!! I love seeing who people are writing to. Such an adorable idea! 💜

Does our card have to be from our rep, or can it be from villager to another villager?

Yes, the card can be from your second island's rep. The villager does not have to be currently on your island. Any villager is acceptable.

The card doesn't have to be a specific size. Cards in real life come in a variety of shapes and sizes, so as long as it's easily readable, I'm not going to be particular.

I was imagining the cards coming from you or your rep, but I didn't specify anything in the rules. Are you thinking of doing a card from Bruce to Marshal as an example?

Something like that, I came up with something cute. I just wanted to see if I could :)
