1/15. ACNH Living Room Festive Holiday

Christmas is here, and you know what that means – time to get your home all festive! Not sure where to start? Let’s use winter as an excuse to finally get rid of those pinecones, and make this Christmas a truly magical one. You can also go for a more rustic look with pumpkins, candles, ornaments and various other items.
The Nookling shops offer more than just books for your home. If you’ve ever wanted to have a small snow globe or yule log on your shelves, then you can get those items from the Nookling shops, too. Once you’re done gathering whatever items you like and decorating, you can relax in this beautiful room by curling up by the fireplace with a good book, too.
2/15. ACNH Palace Mermaid Snow

One of the most magical DIY sets is the mermaid set. Its quiet pastel colors create a calming environment for any room in your house, even in the winter. It creates a wondrous atmosphere, perfect for those lovers of mermaids — or those who just love pretty things.
We’ve all heard it before: “don’t judge a book by its cover.
3/15. ACNH Snowboys

Animal Crossing is a popular game franchise in which players have the chance to live out their dream life in a community full of talking animals. One of the many activities you can do in-game is to build a snowman. One of the many ways to get more snow for your snowman is to find scattered snowballs in-game island. Need snow for your snowman? Roll two snowballs together!
Create your own snowman or, should you choose, get artistic and make a snowman that’s hilariously disproportionate. You can also create your snowmen by warding off snowflakes with an umbrella, then spreading around the flakes that you’ve caught.
4/15. ACNH Winter Halloween

We are all used to creating new things in the summer (June, July, August).But why can’t we create a few new things in winter? Why not have some fun and create new spooky decorations in winter? I found a great couple of videos on YouTube that can help you make some ACNH spooky Halloween pumpkins that you can use after November 1st.
The Halloween season starts now! You’ll want to complete the first phase of your Halloween plan ASAP — that’s to start placing pumpkins all over your island. There are many different ways to enjoy the season, so don’t limit yourself!
5/15. ACNH Wintery Magical Woods

It can be quite infuriating to get through the winter months. But, if you’re like me, you have a little bit of an obsession with mushrooms (maybe it runs in the family). So you might have a lot of mushroom-themed crafts lying around your house. It might be worth your while, then, to put them to use! For example, you could make a forest for your Christmas tree.
Did you know that when the cold comes, your magic mushroom forest is transformed into a winter wonderland? When it snows, your trees and mushrooms are covered in a sparkling coat of ice—beautiful!
6/15. ACNH Frozen House Ice Block

Why settle for a boring old armchair when you could sit on Elsa’s throne? Or take a load off on Olaf, or sleep in the ice block that is Elsa’s frozen bed, or lounge around with a stack of snowmen? Why not make your home into a frozen wonderland, after all? There are plenty of furniture options to choose from!
7/15. ACNH Tree Farm Christmas

Wintertime is best time for a fresh and sturdy cedar tree. And Christmas is best time for fresh-cut Christmas trees. And if you’re looking to cut down your own Christmas tree, I suggest you take a look at this product, because it’s the best Christmas tree cutting equipment out there! It’s extremely affordable and easy to use.
They’re so adorable! My winter aesthetic is totally complete now that I have those fellas. You’ll need to craft some wood for the trees, of course, but I’m willing to bet you’ll want a whole forest of ’em. So here’s what you need to do: chop some trees with your ax (or was it a scythe?) and craft a gift pile.
8/15. ACNH Princess Sparkling Castle

The DIY trend has really taken off this year, and it’s no surprise why. I mean, who doesn’t want to make something awesome for cheaper than buying it in the store? Frozen DIYs are a great way to showcase your creativity with a substance that’s unique and looks pretty cool. Here are 12 photos of frozen DIYs that will get you inspired to go out there and make something awesome.
Now that you’ve built your snow empire, you can embellish it to your heart’s content. The sky is literally the limit! Toss in some illuminated reindeer, a snowman or two, candy machines, standees and toy pandas–whatever makes you feel warm inside. And remember: The emperor may be able to tell you what to do, but he does NOT determine what beautiful things you can surround yourself with.
9/15. ACNH Snowy Square Town

If you’re looking for a holiday decoration that gives off major Dickens vibes, look no further. This town square will make all your friends think you’ve gone insane — but in a good way! From the beautiful cobblestone streets to the town-hall-inspired lampposts, it’s like a scene out of A Christmas Carol. And who doesn’t love that?
You don’t want your town square to look like a slapped-together mess. Our suggestion? Go with a cohesive, easy-on-the-eyes approach. Set up different stone or brick pathways, and create your own pathway patterns. If you’re not sure how to go about that, look for inspiration from existing towns you might like.
10/15. ACNH Study Outdoor Snow

Outdoor furniture is a very popular and distinctive feature in many homes, but it can also be very expensive. So, in order to cut costs on building an outdoor living space, you can actually use all the items you already have available inside your home. This includes couches, tables, chairs, and other structural items that are often placed indoors.
11/15. ACNH Stand Hot Cocoa

Every year, my kids make a valiant effort to not just survive, but really enjoy winter weather. The snowman is by far their favorite ‘snow construct’ because it includes a beverage. I personally like to relax after a day of snow-related activities with a hot cocoa, and sometimes decorate it with various edible items.
It turns out, though, that everyone loves a good cup of hot cocoa — especially in the winter. And while you may have thought it was a bit kitschy to consider including mugs with the iron garden furniture I picked out earlier, now the whole vibe feels just right. So next time you’re browsing around for ideas, feel free to include some fun ceramic mugs to go with your new furniture!
12/15. ACNH Workshop Santa

Christmas is just around the corner, which means that Toy Day is almost here! I’m sure you can’t wait for the festivities. Don’t kid yourself — every one of your dreamy-eyed friends is sitting at home in their pyjamas, thinking about what kind of toy they’ll get on Toy Day! They all know that you’re the best toy maker around, so it’s no surprise when they ask you to make all of the toys for them.
To create your own DIY reindeer enclosure, you’ll need some flexible wire, bright red and green hay, fresh-cut conifer branches, and a sprinkling of candy canes. With these simple materials, plus a little bit of festive spirit, you’re sure to create the perfect place to keep your reindeer safe and sound over Christmas.
13/15. ACNH Extravaganza Christmas Light

Christmas is a holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ and the establishment of the religion of Christianity, among other things. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, there are plenty of holiday decorations you can put up in your town in order to celebrate this special time of year.
14/15. ACNH Gardens Wintergreen

Spring is a wonderful time for gardening, but don’t forget about the joy of gardening during winter! With all the beauty of flowers and cleanliness of snow, a garden is the perfect place to enjoy both seasons and be surrounded by nature at its best. Choose beautiful flowers that you can work hard to maintain and see your own garden prosper — or choose snowy plants with pretty fir trees.
15/15. ACNH Campsite Lakeside Mountain

As the colder months are fast approaching, it’s time to start planning your ideal winter vacation retreat. There’s no need to be stuck in a busy city during the holidays. Instead, embrace your love of nature and build a rustic lakeside campsite in The Island: Survival! Explore nature, enjoy the stars, or catch some fish — whatever you choose, you’ll be glad you made this choice.
