CHARACTERS

Mrs Claus(Character): 240  Clams, has 4hr task to clear Ball Salesperson

Should I Buy – bit of a boring but sweet new character that will really help you get move quicker through the second week of the event. But I think she’s one of these buys that is down to whether you find the character endearing or not, she’s not an impulse buy. So if the character makes you smile, then bring her to your town, if she doesn’t wait to see what comes later. But remember Week 2 can be when events get tough, so if you’re struggling she may be a big help.

Jill Frost (Character): Top prize in the A Very Frozen Mystery Box that costs 145  Clams per try, can shop at Ball Sporting Goods

Should I Buy – Great new character, shakes she’s in a mystery box, but the materials that are in the mystery box are non repeatable so might tempt you take a try. I’ll put full details in the mystery box section later on in this post, but for your information I was lucky and won her on my 2nd try.

Sloshy The Snowman (Character): You’ll be directed to place him for unlocking at Pt 2 of the main Questline O Christmas Spree. Can shop at Balls Sporting Goods, character itself is NOT timed but there is a 40 Clam Reward if yo can unlock him within 7 days of repairing him.
Requires
56 Pipes (Always): Complete tasks in Mrs Claus Wishlist
55 Coal (Always): Complete tasks on Mrs Claus Wishlist
28 Tequila Bottles (Common): Jerome Restock The Bar
28 Lime  (Uncommon): Shop at Balls Sporting Goods, North Pole Mini Golf
24 Top Hat  (Uncommon): Mort Dress Up, Yiddish Candles

Caroler Lois (Costume): You’ll trigger the Side Questline to starting creating her at Al’s at Pt 2 of the main Questline O Christmas Spree. Can shop at the Balls Sporting Goods store.
Requires

BUILDINGS

***The Buildings for Week 2 can be found in the The Quahog Shopping Centre – you’ll find full details in that section below***

---

DECORATIONS

Cranberry Margarita Stand – 120 Drops 2x Eggnog every 10 hours.

Should I buy – Just like last weeks Eggnog Stand I’d have said snap it up at 50 clams but at a 120 I’d think very carefully. If you’ve bought Mrs Claus you likely won’t need this, as he’ll get you extra Margarita. This is a tiny 2×2 decoration that is only a must buy if you’ve no time to dedicate to playing but plenty money to spend.

A VERY FROZEN MYSTERY BOX

Costs 145 Clams per try. No duplicate prizes, so basically once you win an item it leaves the box.

Prizes:
Jill Frost
145 Clams
18 Cranberry Margarita
5 Footballs
90 Presents
18 Eggnog
3 Remote Control
5 Basketballs

** Obviously the star prize is Jill Frost, and it took me 2 attempts to win her. My results were as follows:

5 Basketballs
Jill Frost

Total spend to win Jill Frost: 290 Clams

Should I try: It’s a lot of clams on a game of chance, sure TinyCo have listened and removed the repeatable materials, but materials still make up the majority of prizes, and are they worth 145 Clams? Not in my mind they aren’t. But the odds recently do seem to be a bit higher of winning the star prize, so although the Mystery Boxes are still overpriced in my opinion, you do have a better chance of a good outcome.
