So, last time, I did put out an Autumn Guide. I thought I should make a winter guide since it is literally December in a few days. Here it is.

December
During this month, a ton of things go away and come here.

By the end of December, a Pike, Ray and Spiny Lobster will be gone. :(

At least the Oarfish, Pond Smelt, Stringfish and Sea Butterfly will arrive.

Note the Dung Beetle will arrive when it has snow on the ground on the 11th. Note that on the 10th, a huge snowstorm will come. Before it gets all snowy, the holly bushes are blooming. :]

Of course, Tom Nooks will sell the Jingle series, along with a few other Festive items. Gracie will start selling the gorgeous series. Able Sisters and Kicks will sell the Santa outfit. (hat, beard, shirt, pants, shoes) Since Toy Day is near, the villagers will tell you what they want for Toy Day. It is completely random, so no guide. :[ I will tell you, there are two hints they will give. For example, if they want a red umbrella, one conversation, they can say, I want something red. Then later, they say, I want an umbrella. (1) May be important to write it down since you don't forget. (2)

On the night of Toy Day (starts at the 24th on 8pm), Jingle will be walking around. Here's a brief description. You wear all of that Santa outfit, talk to him, then you have the task to give everyone the gift they told you. If you finish it all correctly, you get a festive wreath along with Jingle's picture the next day. :3

Yay, New Year's Eve. We get to countdown while Isabelle gives us sparkling cider (for North America). At least Redd will sell New Year hats which you can wear.

January
So, things are still. owo

The octopus will sadly go. :[

Otherwise, that's all. I call this the most boring month of the year, sadly.

On New Year's day, you will get 10K bells with a zodiac animal, depending on the Chinese zodiac year. :p
I mean...on the 16th, the trees turn into green leaves though snow is still on the ground.

February
Still more action. :3

Many bugs, fish and deep-sea creatures will leave though, the Bagworm, Centipede, Dung Beetle, Bitterling, Blowfish, Pond Smelt, Sea Butterfly, Stringfish, Oyster and the Sweet Shrimp will leave.

There are many events though, Groundhog Day is on the 2nd. Isabelle will give you a Resetti model. Valentine's is on the 14th, with Isabelle sending you a chocolate cake, your best friend (villager) sending you a good item. The better your friendship, the better the item is. Your mom will send something. :3 Brewster will brew hot chocolate instead of coffee. Festivale may happen (i'll say it's too much to really explain here) Also, there may be a leap day. :]

For seasons, snow will disappear on the 25th with the holly still blooming. Otherwise, that's all.

Snowmen
When there is snow on the ground, 2 snowballs will appear on the ground. If you roll them, they will get bigger over snow and smaller over dirt, bridges, patios and other non snow things. Careful, they are fragile. If you accidentally run them into water, off the cliff (even 1 inch off >_>), or into a tree and house, it will break immediately. When it is big enough, you have more control to push on it with a nice pushing animation.

Once you have the two snowballs next to each other, roll a slightly smaller one on top of the larger one. There, a snowman. :] There are 4 types of snowmen, depending on how large the snowballs are. The order from biggest to smallest are Snowman, Snowboy, Snowmam then Snowtyke. Depending on how well you did, they can reward you.

Snowman - If you make him perfect, he will grant you a bingo card. Each day, you get a chance to get a number. Like bingo, get 5 in a row, you get furniture. His furniture is about ski or something. :/

Snowboy - If you make him perfect, he will send a letter with a piece of the Snowman series.

Snowmam - If you make her perfect, she will ask if you have snowflakes. On a winter day (sunny or snowy), snowflakes are floating around which you can catch with your net. If she is exactly perfect, she will request 3. If she is a bit off, she will ask for 5 snowflakes. If you give her the snowflakes, you will get a part of the ice series.

Snowtyke - If you make him perfect, he says that he wants to see if his family is here. If you have all of them by the time you build him, he will give furniture based on how good they look. If he is bad, then he doesn't give you anything.

Dung beetles (4pm - 9am) will appear rolling snowballs and can possibly run them off cliffs or the river. (3)

Hope that helps someone.

Regarding Toy Day, you have to get two hints as to what all of your dudes want, before the event happens. Example: red and umbrella.
 
I think at the start of December, in regular conversations, they'll mention the gifts. Another thing is, it starts at 6pm then ends at 6am. A full 12 hours to send gifts. :3
 
Yes, they will start dropping hints throughout the month of December. I always keep a list of all their hints because otherwise I'm very likely to forget them by the time Toy Day rolls around.
 
Toy Day clues can change when time travel. Time travel ahead and than back can change the clues.
The Bingo card will expire if you time travel after/before snowballs appear.
 
Just a sidenote, the dung beetle can only be found near the two snowballs. Be fast because they roll them into ponds and even off cliffs. ^_^

If you destroy a snowball just walk in and out of a building to have it respawn. :)

I cannot even say how many times I have just been walking in my town just to hear some random "thunk" of a smashed snowball from them, then trying to figure out what it was, lol.

"I guess it is just the snow warfare season again." :p

Yep. I realized I forgot about snowmen. Oops.
That reminds me. It is a lot less stressful making snowmen in the morning, due to those dung beetles. acnl snow folk.jpg

It's hilarious when they roll them off a cliff.

The little devils always used to hijack my snowballs while I was in the middle of making snowmen.

I'd make a big one, then go get the second snowball, and see a dung beetle rolling it into a pond or off a cliff. ^_^
