Winter Lights
Our winter holiday event runs from Nov 23 to Jan 4. Some of our favorite games get snow and twinkling lights, three winter goals every day, and a keepsake you earn by playing.

Snow, lights and a keepsake in each · 6 games
How Winter Lights works
While the event runs, each of these games has a small snowflake badge on its start screen. Tap it to see your three winter goals for the day. They're simple things you'd do anyway, like winning a deal, catching a few Comets or bringing sprouts home, and they change every day at midnight UTC, the same for everyone.
Finish six winter goals in a game and you earn its keepsake. That's two or three good days of play, any days you like, so there's no need to log in every single day. Keepsakes are earned in play only. Nothing in the event is for sale.
Winter goals never touch your score. Daily challenges, leaderboards and high scores work exactly as they always do, so the boards stay fair for everyone.
What changes in each game
| Game | Winter look | Keepsake |
|---|---|---|
| Canyon Klondike | Snow on the mesas and the canyon floor, flakes falling past the cards | Canyon Snow Globe |
| Moon Jar | A snowy winter night, fresh snow on the moons and lights along the ledge | Woolly Hat Moon |
| Trinket Trio | Snowflake wallpaper and a dusting of snow on every tile | Glass Snowflake |
| Star Solitaire | Snowy hills and little pines under the stars | North Star Ornament |
| Pocket Pinball | Frost on the glass, snow on every marquee | Snow Globe Ball, a real ball for your Ball Case |
| Sprout Parade | Fresh snow on the ground in every outdoor world | Bobble Hat, a real hat your sprouts can wear |
Every game also gets a string of twinkling lights. The snow and lights go away when the event ends, but your keepsakes stay. The Snow Globe Ball and the Bobble Hat stay in your Ball Case and Wardrobe for good.
More winter fun
Copper Pot Kitchen runs its own winter menu in December, with gingerbread, cocoa and snow on the kitchen window, plus a keepsake of its own. It's a separate event inside the game, so it keeps its own dates.
