UPDATE 12/5: The Consuela Error popping up “Unable to load playspace road textures” was supposed to be resolved last night. It is still plaguing some Players though. I did report it to TinyCo and still awaiting another update on it. Will note here when I do. Hang in there.
Hey there Skynet!
1000011110011010011001111010010100111000110…
Maybe that’ll hold it off a bit? Lol. It’s that time of year again… TO LOOSE OUR FRAKKIN MINDS!! Christmas has hit Quahog and it is gonna be an all out war… with the Machines. WOO HOO!!
But for reals, there looks to be LOTS of goodies coming with this New Event that I know I am excited to see how it plays out. I am sure you are all anxious to jump in too… so here we go with the Christmas 2015 Event Breakdown… Phase 1!
RAID TO THE NORTH POLE ENDS THURSDAY, JANUARY 7TH @3PM PACIFIC
Usual points I try to drive home EVERY EVENT…
- Make sure your device is up to date in the App Market. It helps things work a bit more smoothly that way. Newest App Version is 1.15.0
- You must be to at least District 3 and have Al’s Unlocked in your game to see the Event Content.
- PLAY THE GAME! Many items have specific “unlock” points throughout the dialog, questlines, and game play. So you actually have to “get into it” before seeing it all and being able to access it all.
- Don’t get too “Tap Happy”. Just because something is there to be unlocked, be careful. We know fully well by now that there are built in “Surprise” timed items during the Events, so approach new items with caution. If you are not sure if you should tap it, then don’t and wait a bit til I run through all the new stuff. Otherwise, tap at YOUR OWN RISK! It may take me an hour or a bit more… but that time it takes me to play it out could save you a LOT of headache in the long run.
- PATIENCE! I can’t turbo speed an entire week’s content in 5 minutes, so wait… keep checking the post occasionally… as I will update all the details as I hit them in MY game myself. If there are spawns, I got to wait for them to spawn too. So hang in there and I will get you all the info I can as soon as I can. 😉
Here are a few things to tie you over and to start you out…
HOW DO I GET TO THE NORTH POLE?
You will need to first reach Raid to the North Pole Part 5, then you can tap on the Event Area to go to the North Pole. Yes, this will be similar to Star Trek in that it will be a separate Play Space. Also much like Star Trek, you will be unlocking portions of it in Phases. Once you go there and back, then the North Pole Icon will appear in your game in the Lower Right Corner.
There will be additional places IN the North Pole to get items. Place like Santa’s Supply Depot and Headquarters. More on that a bit later.
WILL THERE BE TIMED ITEMS?
YES. So far, one that I can see for sure… I will update if more appear as I go through it.
Lyle is at Santa’s Headquarters and similar to past Events, you have to unlock the items in front of him to reach him. Once there, you will only have 24hrs to get him. Will have more details later on this.
SNOWMEN
Snowmen will start appearing in your game AFTER Raid to the North Pole Part 4. They will be located at the North Pole Play area, so you will need to be able to travel there before being able to clear them. I saw at least 6 as soon as I entered the North Pole Play Area.
Snowmen: Drop 1 
Silver Bell OR 
Toy Army Men
CHARACTERS
Santa Claus: (If you already unlocked him last year, you can bypass this information.) To unlock Santa Claus, you must place the Gold Gift Box for $250 (as I have it, let me know what cost you see for the Gift Box) to see his required Materials you will need to collect for him.
Requires
3 Chocolate Chip Cookies (Common): Peter Cook Disgusting Vegetables OR Quagmire Let the Gerbil Loose
4 Glasses of Milk (Uncommon): Jerome Host Happy Hour OR Chris Hang Out at Home OR Joe Go Undercover
3 Candy Canes (Common): Bruce Sing Christmas Carols OR Mort Restock Ipecac Syrup
Christmas Camo Peter: This Peter Costume unlocks once you reach Raid to the North Pole Part 5, at that time you will then find him in your Characters or Event area of the Shopping Cart Menu. Tapping on “CREATE” will take you to Al’s. Here you will see his direct Clam Buy Out cost as well as the way to earn each Material instead to pull him into your game.
Requires
20 Camo Paint (Uncommon): Mort Scrounge for Coins OR Bruce Frolic With Jeffrey OR Quagmire Enjoy Carrots OR Reindeer Training Facility (Santa’s HQ)
10 Army Rations (Rare): Bonnie Twerk It OR Chris Fat Kid Hula Hoop OR Season’s Greenhouse (Santa’s HQ)
70 Toy Army Men (Common): Clear Snowmen
3 Holiday Grenades (Common): Naughty or Nice Surveillance Center (Santa’s HQ)
LOTS MORE COMING!!! Back with more in a bit.

These are a form of currency you can use to exchange to get items (like Buildings/Decorations) for the Event. Yes there is a counter for them in the Lower Right corner of your game.
LEADERBOARD
Yes, they are back. Not live just yet. More details coming on them soon. 🙂
NORTH POLE
Like noted up top… you will need to first reach Raid to the North Pole Part 5 in order to be able to go to the North Pole. At this time you will notice the Event Area changed from a simple Snowman to now Santa’s Rocket Sleigh. Tapping on the Sleigh will give you a Pop Up… “Leaving Quahog”.
When you first arrive, just one section will be Interactive. Another section not yet accessible will show (Santa’s Village), but be darkened out. It will all be surrounded by what looks like the typical “grey clouds” on land. You will access this area and Unlock it in Raid to the North Pole Part 6.
Only a few Characters first traveled over to the North Pole with me too. I noticed Santa, Bruce, Mort, Peter, Stewie, Quagmire, and Chris.
Here are the areas I saw in the Open Section of the North Pole
COVERED SLEIGH
This is how you can get back home. Tap on it to go back to Quahog. There is also a Home Icon in the North Pole Screen in the Lower Right you can also tap to go back.
AL HARRINGTON’S
Same as in Quahog, you can see all the Costumes here. I would suggest to go back to Quahog first before Creating any Costumes.
SANTA’S SUPPLY SHOP(TRUCK WITH GIFTS)
CHRISTMAS PRESENTS: These are the Currency that will be used mainly in the North Pole. Yes there is a counter for them in the Upper Center of your game.
You will have to go to the North Pole and to Santa’s Supply Shop to trade Materials to get Presents. I will list the “Trade” options in the order I saw them in my game.
8 Presents: 4 Magic Hats
18 Presents: 9 Magic Hats
26 Presents: 13 Magic Hats
42 Presents: 21 Magic Hats
64 Presents: 32 Magic Hats
52 Presents: 26 Magic Hats
68 Presents: 34 Magic Hats
***in progress***
SANTA’S HEADQUARTERS (ARMY TENT)
Here is where you can exchange Presents you got from Santa’s Supply Shop to get additional Items for the Event.
Reindeer Training Facility (Building): 20 Presents, Earns $80 & 150 xp every 8hrs, Drops 2 
Camo Paint
Elf Punting Machine (Decoration): 45 Presents, Animated (it really punts them off the screen. Lol)
Season’s Greenhouse (Building): 76 Presents, Earns $40 & 80xp every 4hrs, Drops 2 Rations
Naughty or Nice Surveillance Center (Building): 112 Presents, Earns $60 & 120 every 6hrs, Drops 2 Holiday Grenades
Impenetrable Igloo Fort (Building): 127 Presents, Earns $120 & 200 every 12hrs
At this point, ANY further tap on Santa’s Headquarters will start the 24 HOUR TIMER on Lyle, so make sure you are prepared to get all the Presents needed to get him. Or decide to keep them for the Next round and just let him time out and Pass on him. Remember, these are labeled HARD for a reason. Many of them are like a Premium Item and will require Clams spent to get them all. Decide if he is really worth it to you before proceeding.
Lyle (Character): 250 Presents, Fully tasked, comes with a Questline, will help you out in the “Santa’s Village” Battles, He is not currently voiced- checking on if he will be in future.
HUMMA HANGAR
The Holiday Humma can be built once you reach Raid to the North Pole Part 6. This will be used to destroy things in Battle. The Holiday Humma can be upgraded using Lights.
Holiday Humma:
Level 1 – Begins
Level 2- Cost 1 
Lights
Level 3- Cost 6 Lights
Level 4- Cost 6 Lights
***in progress***
BE WARNED: Keep your Humma low level as long as possible. The more you upgrade it, the harder it is to take an upgraded building down and get any prizes.
SANTA’S VILLAGE
This will not unlock until Raid to the North Pole Part 6. Here is where you will do “Battle” with the Holiday Humma. Kind of like Events Past (PeterPalooza Side Shows), you can select Characters to use the Humma and Battle. Up to 3 at a time. Just tap on the ! in the area to start a Battle.
- The Level of the Humma will vary the “Strength” of the Humma and more likely to do Damage and Destroy things. (You can see the amount of Buildings the current level and Characters will destroy in the Pop Up screen)
- The More you Destroy, the more items you will likely get in return.
- You can earn items like Magic Hats, Medals, Lights
To Start, Santa can do Battle. (As you progress, Christmas Camo Peter & Lyle can join.) Adding another Character will increase the Strength too (mine did by 10)
- The first “Battle” cost 2 Unleaded Egg Nogs
- Takes 4hrs (Characters will not be able to be used elsewhere until 4hrs are up)
Once the Battle Completes, you will see a Heart Icon over a now broken down Building in Santa’s Village and an X on the Humma that shot at it.
- Tapping on the Heart Icon over Damaged Building will give you your Reward.
- Tapping on the X over the Humma will reset the area so you can start again.
HUMMA LEVELS/PAYOUTS
Level 1 Battle, 1 Character (Santa), Strength 10/150, Take out 1 Building, Reward 3 Magic Hats, 1 
Medal, 1 Lights
Level 2 Battle, 1 Character (Santa), Strength 20/150, Take out 2 Buildings, Reward 6 Magic Hats, 2 Medals, 2 Lights

@ Daba.
Ok reposting in case my first one didnt go through as I dont see it anywhere with a moderation waiting at all on the page since I hit post comment.
I also noticed it say You need version iOS 7, and my ipod cant go past 6. But it allowed me to update to the last version before. The game always crashes on my ipod anyway when loading so, that wont help me much. However…
You can play family guy quest for stuff on Facebook website on your PC. I think you need 2 gb ram at least. And I use chrome browser for it which is suggested i believe. If you need to buy clams or whatever, facebook can do it via paypal I think. This website should remember there is a facebook version, I am pretty sure thats how I found out about its (FB version) existence in the first place. Just a reminder Bunny lol.
If that doesnt work you can try blue stacks on PC, and play the android version of the game (this program also requires 2 gb to work at all) not every app works on it but I have never had a problem with family guy on it once I got it downloaded. Only problem is you need to have “saved your account” to facebook or one of the other methods and start a google play account. Also if there are problems with the android version it might effect it on bluestacks as well. one time, there wasnt a “compatible version” for the android that bluestacks emulates but that was long time ago.
You can also use both these versions to do certain things (but not at the exact same time). For example durin Peterpalooza I played on facebook and when I unlocked characters I got on bluestacks and downloaded the free albums since only android versions got the free stuff..

I notice it was not mentioned here so I want to be helpful and say that to get this upgrade has the new requirement for IOS devices, moving the minimum version from 5.x to 7.x. This requirement knocks me out from playing this, Merry Christmas to me I guess. I’ve written Tiny Co asking that at least they allow the last version to continue to work, even without new content so we can continue to enjoy the items we spent clams and hours upon hours to obtain. As I understand, there is a windows version that doesn’t get new content, does it still work?

When it takes you to the area, do you see the pop up of how much time is left on the Battle? 😉
It is there to let you know he is busy. Yes a lil thrown off as we are used to “tap on a check mark”, it is actually letting you know that one part of his battle is done, but the complete battle still take the full 4hrs unless you spend Clams.

My comments is in no way a reflection on you guys, I think you go above and way beyond for this site and everyone who plays the game. I have been devoted to this game and Tinyco, defending them, even using them as an example for another poor company whose game I also play. With that being said, and I know it is still early, but it looks and feels like this event is extremely overwhelming, doing this to get this to get that, why 3 steps to do one thing? Why is Santa and Stewie walking around with no tasks for drops? Who is Christmas for if not kids and Santa? I will try my best, but I am not stressing over this event. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

It just started. Easy going so far as I play through it. It may seem overwhelming at first… but again, that is because you got to play it a day or two to get a feel. Just like getting a new toy, electronic, shoes even… gotta break em in a few days before you get a good feel for it.
Santa needs to be kept free so you can use him for the Humma Battles (like outlined in this post). That will make him useless for anything else. You will need those supplies for this event so you WANT Santa free to run it over n over n over. 😉
LikeLike
I feel the same way. I know it’s early, but it feels a lot like Halloween needing a 3 part process to trade things in. I still think it would be nice if a general outline of an event like this was given out so we could decide if it was worth our time to play. All it takes is one item to not drop at a reasonable rate to set you back. Hopefully that won’t happen, cause it seems like a fun event.

Here is how i set up my premium acct
4 Snowman prototype (36 hats every 4 hours )
4 Santa’s Arsenals (4 eggnogs every 6 hours, this will help me stay ahead of the 4 hour attack curve)
1 core of Christmas cheer to help get camo Peter’s rares.
This keeps my characters free to work on getting peter unlocked and will help me level up my humma, and should blaze me a trail thru the magic hats to trade in very quickly.
Based on where i am currently in the game, i should have Lyle in 48 hours tops (this doesn’t include hats from any other resources) which should also give me about 4 days of stock piling presents for the next level.
And remember if you need to build something, do it at the north pole so it won’t tie up a worker.
Good luck.

Thanks for the detailed post as usual! I like that we can now get Father Christmas as I wasn’t able to last year. So much stuff I ended up missing. I hope that when I go to stay with my Dad I will be able to connect. I don’t know why but TQFS and Tapped Out don’t work. Everything else does and his connection is the best out of everyone I have. I can only assume some sort of firewall is blocking it but he claims he doesn’t have anything that should. I keep missing time in events and it disrupts quite a bit. I am also getting the error about the roads, I tried uninstalling and installing it again, but it did nothing. I used the help message to contact TinyCo, and I attached a screenshot. Hopefully it can be fixed soon. I don’t want to get to far behind this early on. I think last year’s event seemed nicer, but it is way too early to say and make a fair judgement.

Playing on a Galaxy Tab S, and so far so good! I am working at unlocking Santa, and it looks like they made it a fairly easy get. Not sure about buying any of the clam buildings for materials, since every single event, without fail, I have had a ton of leftover materials. I do hope that you are not required to buy too many buildings and unwanted decos to move forward, as I have no room left to place them, but based on what has been done the last few events, it looks like buildings and decos are going to be mandatory purchases in order to move forward.
I love that you can buy the Snow Jack in the Box for 1400 in coins that will drop 5 bells every 3 hours, or you can spend 150 bells to buy the Snow Fort that will drop 1 bell every 4 hours. Such a deal! *grin* I am betting it will end up being a mandatory purchase to move forward.
And I know Bunny has said it dozens of times, but for the love of whatever or whoever, the game has been live for less than 5 hours of a month long event, so why not wait a few days before bitching about leaderboards, end game prizes or game mechanics until you get a sense of how things will play out?!!
Bunny, thanks for getting the information up so quickly, as it confirmed for me that getting Santa as soon as possible was important, since you need him to get past part 4, and to get to the North Pole for Part 5!

While I’m giving the chance where due on this event, I’m shocked that they’ve used the same mechanics that many have complained about from all this years events combined: Leaderboards; Mandatory deco progression; the dual currency that’s difficult to obtain; get item to build item, to build item, to get item to to buy item; overuse of characters to snag multiple items; cramming 6 weeks of content into 4 weeks (just counted the zones) the list goes on… but, I’m hoping somewhere along the way they’ve figured out what players don’t like about these facets of the game and will put less emphasis on them and more emphasis on things we love about the game. Not complaining as so far it’s been fun. I’m remaining optimistic until proven one way or the other. Oh, anyone else catch Snake Pliskin coming up 🙂

My game is constantly crashing every single time I try to play. I have the Christmas update installed and have been able to place a few of the Christmas items but now the game crashes every 20 seconds. I have put most of my stuff (that I had out) in inventory, I have heard people say having too much in the game can make it crash, but it still crashes even though I don’t really have anything out now. I get no message or anything when it crashes, it just goes back to the home screen on my iPad. I have never had this trouble with the game before – it is usually quite stable for me. Not anymore. 😦

I thought of doing that but all I can really tell them is my iPad information and that the game keeps crashing. I have no error message or anything else to report. I hope they know what I am talking about with only that information?
I personally am thinking that it is the falling snow making it crash. I wish there was a way to turn it off.

My game seems to be working alright now. 🙂
My town is just about empty now though, almost everything is in my inventory. A bit of a waste since so much work and money has gone into it. Oh well, perhaps when Christmas is over and the snow stops, some of those things can stop hibernating and come back out again. 🙂 I have never had a problem with crashing in the game before (as I try never to put too much out at once), so it must be the snow. Hey snow, you blow! 😉

Santa looks easy to unlock, all common or uncommon items.
But I honestly am feeling chilled every time I look at the snow blowing around in Quahog, especially since most characters are still running around in short sleeves.The graphics are just too real! Triggers bad memories of constantly being frozen all winter especially when we lived in Michigan, where the snow started in early October. I remember looking down at my hands in grade school and they were blue with cold …. All I want for Christmas is no snow, please. And no frozen pipes. Last year my drains even iced up from having the faucets constantly dripping in below zero weather (helpful hint: blast with hot water periodically).

If you can report through the game with the details (that automatically come up) it relays the info about your game and device.
