The second Turkey Day event of the year will take place on November 25 in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the game's official Facebook page announced. Seasonal events are some of the most exciting reasons to return to the game, not only because of the unique and time-limited tasks they offer, but also because of the special rewards you can earn that you would otherwise be unable to obtain otherwise. Because the most recent 2.0 patch and DLC have already been released, and because this marks the end of any significant additions to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it is even more important to participate in these events in order to keep the game, and your island, feeling fresh. A not-so-subtle reference to Thanksgiving, Turkey Day has been renamed so that players all over the world will be able to recognize it as such. Aside from that, the main new character in Turkey Day is himself a turkey, so the name feels entirely appropriate. Last year, we offered a slew of fantastic incentives for assisting in the preparation of seasonal dishes, and we anticipate that this year will be no different. However, with cooking now being a regular part of the game's normal gameplay, there may be a few surprises in store for players when the 25th arrives. The following is an in-depth look at what to expect from this year's Turkey Day in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, as well as a complete guide on how to prepare for it. Prepare for Thanksgiving Day. If you want to get a head start on Thanksgiving Day, there are a few things you can do to ensure that you have enough time to complete the festivities once the festivities begin. The most important thing you can do is stockpile ingredients, particularly pumpkins, because they are in short supply. In the game, this fruit was introduced last year, and it has the potential to grow in a variety of different colors. When it comes to Thanksgiving, you'll want as many different colors as you can get your hands on (orange, green, yellow, and white). Mushrooms, fish, clams, and other sea creatures, among other ingredients, should not be difficult to come by if you don't already have them on hand. These ingredients will make up the majority of the recipes you'll be tasked with filling, and they should not be difficult to come by.
Take a look at Franklin Franklin.
In the same way that he did last year, the turkey will serve as the primary chef for the holiday, and he will set up his cooking station just outside the Resident Services building
While it hasn't been officially confirmed, based on how the event worked last year, once he arrives, you will be able to speak with him about assisting you with one of the four recipes that you will be cooking in the first place
You'll be able to complete them all, provided that you have the necessary time, so don't be concerned about which one you complete first
For each recipe you successfully complete, you will receive a non-craftable Turkey Day-themed Animal Crossing item, as well as eight additional do-it-yourself (DIY) recipes if you can successfully incorporate the secret ingredient into all of the recipes
Again, assuming that the structure of this event will be the same as it was last year, there will be a total of 12 possible Turkey Day items to earn
Prepare to engage in trading. In order for it to be a true Animal Crossing holiday, every member of the community must join in the festivities. Many of your villagers will be preparing their own meals at home, which you can trade for some of the ingredients you might not have on hand. The exact contents of your return package will be a mystery to you; however, if you can provide them with the specific type of fish they're looking for, they'll most likely return an ingredient that you'll need for the event. In the case of difficult-to-find ingredients, such as a colored pumpkin or a specific mushroom, this can make getting them much easier if you don't already have them on hand. You can also trade fish with villagers in order to gain insight into what the secret ingredient to Franklin's dishes might actually be. No ingredients must be traded in; all can be gathered on your own; however, trading may be more convenient in some situations. The recipes as well as the rewards The main event for this holiday is cooking, as you assist Franklin in preparing a delicious meal for your entire village. Based on the success of last year's feast, Franklin has included four recipes on the menu for which you will be responsible for providing the ingredients. It's possible that he won't actually tell you what you need to get, instead only giving you hints, which means that you could end up wasting time if you are unable to figure out what he requires. You can find all of the complete recipes on this page, as well as the secret ingredients you can use to make the additional DIY item recipe bonuses.
