The Santa Claus Decoration can be upgraded to Level 5 to 'Improve your Luck'. What this means essentially is that at Level 5 you will receive two Christmas Presents from any harvest randomly instead of one. There are four regular Prizes: Shooting Star (the second item needed to 'improve your luck'), an Ice Cat (a decoration), a Sack of Bait (used in Fishing) and a Thunderstorm (used to speed growth time of everything on the farm). When you have redeemed one of each, you will unlock the Mistletoe Tree.
The first item required to 'Improve your Luck' is a Chocolate Santa. You can request these from your Neighbours. Remember that they will be in your Gift Box and that you must use them from THERE. The second item, the Shooting Star, can be redeemed for 1 Christmas Present each. Remember that these as well will be in your GIFT BOX and must be used from that location!
The second thread is a sequence of Quests entitled Santa's Journey. You have 11 days to complete Santa's Journey. The first step is to place Santa Claus, a temporary Decoration from which Rewards can be redeemed, on your Farm. The ultimate prize for completing the Santa's Journey sequence is a Reindeer.
The following Quests require a large quantity of Harvests from Fruit Trees as well as Recipes from your Kitchen, many of them new. If you are disposed to spend RC on anything, you may wish to do so for Super Watering Cans in order to hasten fruit tree Harvests. (A balloon carrying Super Watering Cans should appear over your farm today as well.)
The new Christmas Recipes are given at the end of this post as well as on the Kitchen Page of this Guide.
