CHARACTERS

Little Drummer Boy (Character): 250  Clams, has 4hr task to clear Confused Mom, Can shop at Best Bytes

Should I Buy – bit of a boring but sweet new character that will help you move quicker through the final week of the event. But I think he’s one of these buys that is down to whether you find the character endearing or not, he’s not an impulse buy. So if the character makes you smile, then bring him to your town, if he doesn’t save your clams as neither of the outfits he’ll help you unlock, Reveller Quagmire & Vacation Santa, are that exciting.

Elf Stewie (Character Costume): Top prize in the Santa’s Little Elf Mystery Box that costs 125  Clams per try, can shop at all stores!

Should I Buy – Great new character costume for Stewie, real shame can’t buy outright for clams as he’s in a mystery box filled with items that are mostly booby prizes, but you know I would give this a try as its Stewie. I’ll put full details in the mystery box section later on in this post, but for your information I was lucky and won him on my 1st try. Woo Hoo.

Vacation Santa (Character Costume): You’ll be directed to place him for unlocking at Pt 2 of the main Questline Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.
28 Sunglasses (Always): Shop at Best Bytes
25 Board Shorts (Uncommon): Mort Change His Shirts, Santa’s Vacation Home
85 Aloha Shirts (Rare): Complete tasks on Santas To Do List
22 Surfboard  (Rare): Shop at Balls Sporting Goods, North Pole Mini Golf

Reveller Quagmire (Character Costume): You’ll trigger the Side Questline to starting creating him at Al’s at Pt 2 of the main Questline Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. Can shop at the Best Bytes store. 20 Clam reward if unlock within 4 days
Requires
11 Captain’s Hats (Always): Shop at Best Bytes
40 Whiskey (Uncommon): Clear Mall Cops, Quagmire Drink A Nightcap
93 Boat Shoes (Uncommon): Complete tasks on Santa’s To Do List
11 Smoking Jackets (Rare): Clear Confused Moms, Elf Casting Agency

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

Hot Toddy Stand – 120 Drops 2x Hot Toddy every 10 hours.

Should I buy – Just like last the previous weeks Stands I’d have said snap it up at 50 clams but in the final week at 120 clams, I’d say pass. I certainly have.  This is a tiny 2×2 decoration that will help you get Hot Toddy’s but I honestly don’t think any of the freemium unlock able content is exciting enough to entice any clam spend to help get it.

SANTA’S LITTLE ELF MYSTERY BOX

Costs 125 Clams per try. No duplicate prizes, so basically once you win an item it leaves the box.

Prizes:
Elf Stewie (Character Costume)
150 Clams
Pilot Quagmire (Returning Character Costume)
Starlight Express Peter (Returning Character Costume)
Italian Plumber Chris (Returning Character Costume)
Gingerbread Griffin House
5 Laptops
90 Presents
18 Hot Toddy
3 Peppermint Schnapps
5 Cellphones

*** Obviously the star prize is Elf Stewie, and it took me 1 attempt to win him. My results were as follows:

Elf Stewie

Total spend to win Elf Stewie: 125 Clams

Should I try: It’s a lot of clams on a game of chance to win a costume, sure TinyCo have listened and removed the repeatable materials, but materials still make up the majority of prizes, and are they worth 120 Clams in the final week? 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. I certainly got lucky.
