Let’s all give a warm welcome back to Nick, who’s here once again for the December Festival![/p][p]Oh, and for those of you playing Dinkum on Nintendo Switch—this might be your very first time meeting him! Nick is a special villager who only visits during December. He’s known for crafting all sorts of festive items that perfectly capture the joyful spirit of the season. So if you’ve been wanting to decorate your town with a cozy festival touch, this is your chance to get creative and have some fun![/p][p]As usual, there are plenty of winter festivities happening across the island—special investigation requests, unique rewards, and even the appearance of the White Boomer—all to make your December adventures extra merry.[/p][p]You’ll find more details below![/p][p] [/p][h2]Event Period[/h2]

• [p]December 1 – December 31 (The event follows your PC’s system time.)[/p]
