Hello There Clammers!
The Christmas update is NOT, I repeat NOT live in our games…yet. Right not they are doing some testing on it to make sure the 1.5 version is going OK. So a small amount of you will see the update hit your app markets.
Again, this is JUST prep work/testing. So those that get it will ONLY see the icon, Splash Screen, and snow in town. NO tasks, NO items, NO event. We will post more when it goes live.
Well…that is unless we fall asleep waiting for it to hit. It HAS been a very long day for both of us. Lol
So hang in there. We’ll get the info out when we can.
Of course the net goes down and up as we posted this. The Update IS here. We are working on stats now. Will update soon. MORE INFO COMING!!
Kindle…sorry…you know the drill 😦
Bunny & Alissa
Some more details below the fold…
Ok guys this is just like Halloween…you have to earn Cookiees to buy stuff (like Spirit vials) AND you have Holiday Cheer (like Fright points). You also have the ability to craft/create gifts at Santa’s Workshop (like the cauldron). So you guys should know a lot of the drill by now…
This event is very Lois heavy in the beginning. And a lot of short tasks that you should progress through quickly. The stopping point will come when you craft your first gift, which will take an hr. And then you’ll have another task to build the Quahog Mall, which will take 4hrs to build. If you’re looking to rest tonight…that might be your best stopping point….
New Buildings..
Quahog Mall- 50 Gingerbread. 4hr Build. Chance to drop the Star needed for Sexy Santa Lois. Also Earns 8 Gingerbread and 1 Holiday Cheer/4hrs.
Gingerbread Shack- 100 Clams. Always drops 50 Gingerbread/4hrs. Also drops 5 Holiday Cheer.
Gingerbread Trailer- 250 Clams. Always drops 250 Gingerbread/8hrs. Also drops 60 Holiday Cheer
Gingerbread House- 600 Clams. Always drops 1,000 Gingerbread/12hrs. Also drops 200 Holiday Cheer.
Note: All 3 Gingerbreads have awesome animations!
Goody Gumdrop’s- 200 Clams. Always drops rare stockings/8hrs. Also drops 12 Gingerbread and 2 Holiday Cheer/8hrs.
Christmas Griffin House- 100 Clams. Always drops 1 item needed for Sexy Santa Lois/ 6hrs. Also drops 10 Gingerbread and 2 Holiday Cheer/6hrs.
Lucky’s Orphanage- 200 Clams. Always drops rare stocking with doll/8hrs. Also earns 12 Gingerbread and 1 Holiday Cheer/8hrs.
New Decorations….
Candy Cane Posts- 25 Gingerbread.
Dickens’ Lamp- 50 Gingerbread.
Dickenstein’s Lamp- 50 Gingerbread
Smooching Archway- 75 Gingerbread
Festive Arches in Blue- 75 Gingerbread
Medium Christmas Tree- 75 Gingerbread
Pile of Presents- 25 Gingerbread
Snowman- 25 Gingerbread
10 Secret Santa Gifts- 50 Clams. 10 Gifts to give to your neighbors!
Buildings to Repair…
Train Station- Requires 200 Gingerbread and 8hrs. DO NOT DO THIS UNTIL YOU’RE READY….it triggers a timed event for a character! See below..
Note: It looks like TinyCo has learned from Halloween…and you cannot repair the Train Station until the task triggers. Progress through quiet a bit of the main questline and then the quest will trigger. Be patient.. 🙂
New Character/Skin…
Sexy Santa Lois!
Sexy Santa Lois starts once you’ve started the Naughty or Nice quest….(this happens around Part 6 or 7 of Miracle on Spooner Street) Here’s what you’ll need to unlock her:
500 Gingerbread Cookies (Game Currency…once you use them for her they will disappear)
15 Christmas Stars (Uncommon)- Earned by: Make Jerome Play Ball OR Make Chris Nose Goblins OR Make Cleveland Grab a Beer OR Get from Quahog Mall OR Get From Christmas Griffin House
7 Santa Dresses (Rare)- Earned By: Make Lois Freshen Up OR Make Bonnie Go to Ladies Night OR Get From Smith House OR Get From Christmas Griffin House
5 Mistletoe (Rare)- Earned by: Make Peter Put Up the Tree OR Make Quagmire Enjoy Carrots OR Get From Christmas Griffin House
For those curious…the rush rate is around 300 Clams (depending on how many Gingerbread you have)
Jasper!
Brian’s family is coming to Quahog! And Jasper can be found at the Quahog Train Station….BUT be WARNED. Once you repair the train station you only have 7 Days to Unlock him! So DO NOT repair the train station until you’re ready.
Here’s what you’ll need to unlock Jasper:
Happy Greek- Get the Happy Greek From a Holiday Gift Box
Dance Studio- Get the Dance Studio From a Striped Gift Box
Cheer Stage- Get the Cheer Stage from a Striped Gift Box.
Or you can instantly unlock for 300 clams.
Squatters
There are two types of Squatters with the event…Snowmen and Mall Santa’s (and apparently CIA Agents, as they’re still roaming the streets of my Quahog!)
Snowmen
Just tap them and they’ll go away. Plus you’ll earn event currency!
Mall Santa’s
For these you will need Sexy Santa Lois and/or Jasper to clear. Each Mall Santa takes 2hrs to clear and earns you 10 Gingerbread and 2 Holiday Cheer. Plus the chance for a doll to drop!
Christmas Challenge:
Give Me A Sign…
Triggers by Peter AFTER you Craft Sexy Santa Lois.
Clear 10 Mall Santa’s in 4 Days and you’ll unlock the North Pole sign!
Collect ALL the weekly prizes for the Grand Prize (not announced yet)
Santa’s Workshop…
Craft presents using items you collect! As of week 1 there are 2 present options…
Holiday Gift Box- Each one is 150 Gingerbread and 5 Candy Canes.
Striped Gift Box- Each one is 300 Gingerbread, 5 Candy Canes and 5 Dolls
You won’t know what’s inside until you’ve crafted it!
Here’s how you earn..
Candy Canes: Earned By: Clearing Snowmen OR Get from Goody Gumdrop’s
Doll- Earned By: Clearing Mall Santas OR Get from Lucky’s Orphanage
The boxes do take time to craft. The first one takes 1hr…
And once it’s complete you’ll see this popup…
Again you won’t know what’s inside until you open it. So head over to the Tree and open up your new gift! 🙂
Holiday Cheer…
Collect Holiday Cheer to upgrade your Christmas tree! The bigger the tree/cheer the more Squatters will come to Quahog! (Mall Santa’s and Snowmen)
And yes…as of right now there are Clam rewards when you reach a new Level. Follow along with The Cheer Squad questline to earn clams for reaching cheer levels!
Secret Santa…
For the first time during a TQFS Event there’s a Social Element to it! (Remember the only way to have friends in this game is via Facebook. And if you’re looking for friends check out our Add Me Thread here.)
You can leave a Secret Santa Gift for a neighbor…and they’ll get rewards for it and you’ll get a chance for Clams! (and rewards too!)
Below is from the in game FAQs. This will explain it better than I can at 3:30 am…
How does Social Gifting work?
Bonnie can create Secret Santa Gifts by performing the “Wrap a Gift” action. You’ll be able to see how many Secret Santa Gifts you have by viewing the counter on the Multiverse button.
When you visit an eligible friend’s Quahog, you’ll see a button on the top right corner of the screen with the number of Secret Santa Gifts you own. If you tap on it, you’ll leave your friend a box that they can open to receive wonderful prizes. You can gift each friend one gift box each day.
Whenever you give a friend a Secret Santa Gift, you’ll also receive Christmas Cookies and a chance for clams!
How do I open Secret Santa Gifts?
When you receive a Secret Santa Gift, you’ll see a message telling you to open the box by your Christmas tree. To open it, tap on the box!
You can open one Secret Santa Gift per day. If you receive more than one box per day, you’ll be able to open another after 24 hours have passed.
Santa’s Wish List…
Fulfill various wishes (usually via the Crafting part) to unlock Santa for your Quahog!
How do I use the Christmas Wishlist?
Tap on Santa’s Sleigh to access the Christmas Wishlist. You can fulfill wishes by collecting the items that characters have asked for. Fulfilling a wish unlocks a new Christmas action for that character.
How do I get Santa?
If you complete every wish on the Christmas Wishlist, you’ll receive Santa!
District 10…
You’ll notice it’s there…but it’s locked! The land is smokey and you can’t access it just yet. It’s coming soon…so be patient and enjoy Christmas! 🙂
And that’s it for Phase 1 of Christmas!
What do YOU think of Christmas so far? Thoughts on the snow in Quahog? What about the way the event is set up? Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!

I have myself one of those question type things about “Santa’s Wish List”. I understand that I need to, “Get Brian an Inspiration Corner”, for example, in order to unlock a christmas action for his character. What I do not understand, however, is what type of Gift box does this have a chance of coming out of? When I click on the character, I think it takes me to the Gift Box that has the chance of dropping their item, but I’m not 100% sure and I don’t have the resources to be playing a guessing game here 😉 If someone could reassure me before I click, “Wrap”, that would be fantastic ^_^ Thank you very much!

This post has so much useful information that I keep referencing it. I bought the Gingerbread Shack thinking ‘awesome animation’ would be gingerbreadies poking their heads out of windows or running around the building. However, there are only blinking gumdrop lights. They are very nice.
Do the trailer and house have anything more than very nice blinking gumdrop animation which would make them great? I doubt I would be awed unless they created persistent images of Mother Mary in my vision.

I like it except that I don’t like that if you use 500 gingerbread for Lois you loose 500 gingerbread. Or you use 150 for wrapping presents and loose 150 gingerbread. Let the wrap presents you keep the amount. I have earned over almost 900 gingerbread and wrapped 3 gifts. I can’t unlock lois because i have to keep making gifts to get Santas wish list complete. If you wrap a gift keep the 150 but if you create lois its okay to remove the 500. Just keep that thought for next update please.

Just weighing in, here. I am chillin’ on my one weekend off this month (retail BITES this time of year) and getting as much accomplished as I can. Tinyco has always been kind to me. No matter the circumstances or situation. Whenever I have sent in a support issue, they deal with it quickly and efficiently. They also respond to general comments (GIGGITY-split LOL). That being said, even with the issues at the beginning (let’s face it; there always are) I am still meeting all requirements and tasks in a reasonable time frame. I started Jasper’s train station (because I was tempted to eat all the cookies) BUT there is ALWAYS a period of grace … You don’t have to hit the completion check mark as soon as it shows up, thereby buying you time to get those stripes gifts unwrapped. Ok … Nuff said … Keep Clam and Yule get thru this!

Maybe thay was a bad way to ask..
