Hey there yah bunch of Yettis.
The new Phase 3 of Miracle on Spooner Street is here! So get to updating to the Jolly Christmas Tree to see all the cool new stuff!!
As per usual…MORE TO COME!!
More details in a bit but for now know that Peter will trigger the week 3 challenge. If you don’t want to start it…don’t tap Peter after Part 3 of the main questline has triggered.
Update from Alissa…Details below the fold..
New Buildings
Snowy Hospital- 500 Cookies. Earns 16 Cookies and 3 HC/12hrs (a Skin for the Hospital)
Superstore USA- 250 Cookies, 4hr Build. Earns 12 cookies and 2 HC/ 8hrs. Chance to drop Spiked Eggnog.
Bunny Hill- 250 Cookies, Earns 50 Cookies and 10 HC/ 6hrs. Chance to drop a shovel for Jingle Joe.
Holiday Babble Greeting Cards- 100 Clams. Earns 10 Cookies and 2 HC/ 6hrs. Always drops the Wrapping Paper Stocking.
Christmas Swanson House- 75 Clams. Earns 10 Cookies and 2 HC/ 6hrs. Always drops one of the items needed for Jingle Joe.
New Decorations
Jolly Snow Globe- 100 Cookies.
Tiny Tannenbaum- 50 Cookies.
Sweetheart’s Gazebo- 100 Cookies.
Elves Display- 75 Cookies.
Kiddy Train- 75 Cookies.
New Costume
This time we’re creating Jingle Joe.
Joe with warmer clothes. Jingle Joe will be able to help attack the Yeti. Here’s what you’ll need to collect to get Jingle Joe.
1,000 Cookies
15 Spiked Eggnog- Get From: Make Herbert Read to Children OR Make Mr. Weed Take a CPR Class OR Make Joe Give Self a Sponge Bath OR Get From Superstore USA OR Get From the Christmas Swanson House
15 Snow Shovels- Get From: Make Peter Shop the Sales OR Make Felicia Day Play Freeze Tag OR Make Chris Shop for Toys OR Get From Bunny Hill OR Get from Christmas Swanson House
10 Christmas Wreath- Get From: Make Intimate Apparel Peter Buy Designer Toys OR Make Bruce Be a Good Listener OR Get From the Christmas Swanson House
For Those curious it’ll cost you around 300 Clams to purchase outright. Depending on how many cookies you have.
Jingle Joe also has a task to help you earn more Furbals.
Puppy Brian
You’ll find Puppy Brian in the Workshop. He’s similar to Jesus, in that you have to craft him. Here’s what you’ll need to get him:
5,000 Cookies
10 Candy Cane Stockings
10 Doll Stockings
40 Wrapping Paper Stockings
UPDATE BUNNY: Just an FYI, Puppy Brian is TEEEEEEENY. Like extremely small and cute. It is a costume for Brian complete with tasks. To give you an idea just how teeny, here he is next to Brian. (Think how small Brian is.)
Even more, here is a shot of the Puppy roaming my town covered in snow, can YOU spot him in the pic?
New Character
Babs Pewterschmidt is here!
Note: You will have FIVE days to unlock her.
In similar fashion to Jasper you’ll have to “repair” the Train Station (yes again…Jasper must have wrecked it with all his cheering) to find Babs. Repairing the station takes 4hrs and costs 200 cookies. You cannot repair the station until you’ve trigger the Five Golden Rings questline. (This triggers around Prophets vs Profits Part 4)
Do not repair the Train Station until you’re ready…you will only have 5 Days to unlock Babs. So be sure you’re ready before you do it!
Once you find her you’ll need items from various gift boxes to unlock her. Here’s what you’ll need:
Death Row Caviar (From Snowflake Giftbox)
-Hanukkah Bush (Fancy Giftbox)
– Les Bijoux (Fancy Giftbox)
New Gift Box
The Fancy Gift Box is here now!
To create it you’ll need:
750 Cookies
2 Doll Stockings
3 Wrapping Paper Stockings
Takes 3 hrs to create once you have enough..
We will have a full post about each item that’s inside but here’s a quick list:
Royal Tea Set
Yule Log
Christmas Quahog Mall
Les Bijoux
Hanukkah Bush
New Targets to Attack
Procrastinators.
Basically…it’s Comic-Con and Halloween all over again. Break out those mazes because it’s time to bomb some animated characters again!
You’d think TinyCo would get the hint…when this was the LEAST favorite part of Halloween. ANYWAY…
To Bomb the Procrastinators you have to collect Furballs. You then use the furballs to “bomb” as many Procrastinators in 1 shot as you can.
There are two kinds of Procrastinators. Naughty ones and Nice ones. Each one drops different rewards….
Naughty- Drops Cookies, HC & Occasionally Clams
Nice- Drops Wrapping Paper Stockings and Christmas Cookies.
Again…you’ll need Furbals to bomb the Procrastinators. You can earn them through various characters:
Jingle Joe- Rage Shop, 4hrs
Quagmire- Donate Toys, 4hrs
Chris- Shop for Toys, 4hrs
Jasper- Do a Cheer, 4hrs
Cleveland- Browse Figurines, 4hrs
And because I know you’ll all ask…
What’s the Spawn Rate for Last Minute Shoppers?
Per Tinyco…The Amount of Last Minute Shoppers in your town will vary depending on your level. Generally, these shoppers will spawn every 2-6hrs for a max of 10-15 in your town at 1 time.
More Furballs (to beat Procrastinators)
1 Furbal- 10 Clams
Pack of 12 Furbals- 90 Clams
Pack of 48 Furbals- 300 Clams
Week 3 Challenge
This Challenge is Trigger by Peter AFTER Part 3 of the main questline is triggered. So if you don’t want to start this task…DO NOT tap Peter after you trigger Part 3 of Profits vs. Prophets.
For this week’s challenge…you’ll have to bomb 100 Procrastinators in 4 days.
And for this week’s prize you’ll receive Mutant Elves.
Again…we suggest the maze method for successfully completing this. More specific details are coming but check out these posts from events past about mazes:
UPDATE BUNNY: As you can see in the image above, the prize for the Challenge was not the correct image. It glitched and showed the Elves Display instead. The actual Challenge prize is what it showed in the Pop Up for the Challenge…the Mutant/Demented Elf. Just the one. And it runs around on the streets of your town as soon as you tap on it to get it out of storage. It is small, like size of Stewie.
Gold Mystery Box
There’s a new premium Mystery Box available for 50 Clams.
We’ll have a more detailed post on this…but for now here’s what’s inside:
UPDATE BUNNY: DO NOT SPEND CLAMS ON THIS RIGHT AWAY!!! You will notice several of these items are available for purchase for just Christmas Cookies. BUY THEM WITH COOKIES FIRST. This will narrow down the items in the box to just a few, making you spend LESS Clams and get the extras for cheaper if you still want to risk the Clams on them. (See below). Once you have all the Decorations/Buildings the Gold Box will close out.
-Elves Display
-Nativity
-Kiddy Train
-Bunny Hill
-Meg’s Pink Luxury Car
-Peter’s Tank
-250 Christmas Cookies
-10 Doll Stockings
– 5 Wrapping Paper Stockings
-100 Clams
-150 Clams
Note: A lot of these items you can purchase with Cookies. IF you purchase them with Cookies before the Gold Box…they will be removed from the Gold Box. Thus increasing your chances to get clams!
(Note: Cookies, Clams, Stockings are non-unique items. Everything else will disappear once won/purchased)
Note there IS a known glitch with this…Per TinyCo
Known bug: storing moving decorations will cause the game to crash
The new Gold Gift Box includes two decorations that are animated, Meg’s Pink Luxury Car and Peter’s Tank. There is currently a known bug if you try to store these items, it will cause your game to crash. This currently only affects iOS players and we’re working on a fix!
New Yeti!
Top Hat Yeti has arrived!
Currently I’ve got to wait 4hrs before I can attack Top Hat Yeti. Once it unlocks I’ll let you know what the Life Level is.
So that my friends are all the details on phase 3 of Christmas!
What do YOU think of Phase 3? Thoughts on the Procrastinators? How about the new character additions? Jingle Joe? Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!

Really quite peeved right now on my quest to find Jesus. ; ) I finally got back through and defeated the childish yeti. It advanced to Top Hat but I didn’t get the reward for childish so I’m still sitting short of the stocking to get Jesus. It’s just about enough to lose faith.

I hope other people are having better luck with the nice shoppers dropping stockings, because I’m sure not. I even spent 90 clams for 12 extra furbals to help my total. Didn’t work, I’m getting about 1 stocking for every 5 or 6 nice procrastinators bombed.

I dont understand all the complaints about the procrastinaters.
It so far has not been difficult at all to deal with them. I had 100 for the challenge within a day. Then i put focus on green, only taking a shot if I see 3 or more green jackets in one group. Up to 31 wrapping papers (already opened all fancy gifts)
I got a handful of wrapping paper from the gold box. But even if I HADNT, I could still say Puppy Brian is attainable in a week of casual play. Tops.
Oh and the whole maze thing isnt particularly useful… some get pathed in there but not enough to bomb

I am finding the yeti impossible to beat unless I am playing 24/7 or spend clams. It really doesn’t seem fair. I buy clams for enjoyment of the game. I don’t feel it’s fair to have to buy clams just to complete tasks. It’s seems that I would have to buy Jon and play 24/7 just to get through all the yetis. Even the rewards from the yetis don’t seem to allow an average player to obtain Jesus. This is just my 2 cents.

After the 2nd yeti, I have to defeat him once, without clams. I have Jon and Lois. Clam rushed Mort to get him on it and now have Jesus, too. I still have to use clams to rush one or two character’s tasks to beat him in time. Really frustrating and I’m not buying anymore clams. I’ve spent $70 on clams just during/for this event.
Every time it happens, it’s like the game is giving me 2 giant middle fingers. Really starting to resent the tricks they pull. I’m so sorry I have to sleep, pay attention to my family and work. I get that we want a challenge, can’t make it too easy… but why make it so the game has to be the focal point of our lives in order to fully enjoy it? I know I don’t HAVE to play, but I have been since the week it launched. This is supposed to be a fun, little thing I have for myself. Not something I have to set alarms for in order to accomplish the tasks presented. Alarms?! Unless it’s to feed my child, walk my dog, cook a roast or wake up for work… jeebus, alarms! People are setting alarms just to beat the thing! I can’t even right now…. (sorry for vent, it just kinda happened, lol)

There is a way I went around the problem which was by deleting my facebook account linked to the game, then I was able to visit Ollie then while already on the friend screen I linked the facebook up again and although I got the same notice since I was already on the friend screen I was able to scroll through the friend list and visit them.

Just wondering if we are getting a special coin package sale this weekend. I have some money in reserve and am hoping they do. I NEED to get some Furbals, I can’t seem to stop myself from getting rid of the Shoppers. Tried the tap/stun function but EVERY TIME I get a bunch lined up to fire at, the target shifts drastically up or down and by the time I get back to my myriad of procrastinators, they’ve all dispersed. I had about 22 in my sites and when I bombed them I only got FOUR! I was NOT impressed! This ‘zipping’ has been happening since I began playing. I often find myself in undiscovered territory *sigh*
On the upside, I have Jesus and Babs (sounds like a bad 70’s song name) and am well on my way to getting bitty Brian. Less than 20 gift wrap to go. I haven’t checked in on Joe, but on average, I am getting at least one to two items for completion, so he will be along quickly enough. Don’t much care for the mutant elf. I found that episode to be rather disturbing. To me it was a statement on how shallow people have become and how much the season has lost its meaning … Family, caring, giving, sharing. Now it seems people are all about ‘what’s in it for me?’ And it doesn’t matter the cost or detriment. OK … Climbing off my soapbox, now.

Just a note on the procrastinators. You mentioned the trick or treaters being the least favorite part of Halloween, and TinyCo not getting the hint. I’m relieved they did take fan advice at least partially. The reason trick or treaters were such a problem, at least in my eyes, was the fact that they were untouchable. The procrastinators work the same way as minion Stewies did, allowing you to tap them and have them stop moving for a short period of time. Forget using a maze to get rid of them. Use the trick for minion Stewies and tap them at 4-way intersections to pile them up, taking out several with one Furbal. Almost done with the weekly challenge after a few hours using this method.
LikeLike
The maze trick did not work for me this time or my friends. They don’t seem to care a bit about streets this time. They spawn randomly in the snow and are just as happy there as they are the streets. That said, I kept watch in trigger mode longer this time and was able to get my 100 fairly fast.

Unlocked Babs, defeated the Top Hat Yeti, and then was able to get Jesus all within five minutes of each other last night. The subsequent completion of character groups and quests immediately took me from cheer level 8 to maxed out at 10 right after. This morning I got the Mutant Elf. I think the key to all of this was buying John McLane. He makes a HUGE difference in the Yeti attacks and I have stayed at the top Yeti level every day, and usually finished with four or five hours to spare. Now I have Jesus throwing snowballs with Lois, Mort and John which should speed things up even more. So relax, people, this is all doable if you play it right.
One note, the Mutant Elf just walks around doing nothing? Kind of a letdown after all that bombing (even if it took just over a day to complete the challenge).
