Animal Crossing: New Horizons will soon receive the December update adding a bunch of changes. After the release of new content with the 2.0 update, several players forgot about upcoming events and changes. Moreover, we will see many new critters arriving on players’ islands and the welcome of snowy days.

All the ground and trees will be covered with snow, which will be a perfect time to celebrate Christmas later in December. During the wintertime, users can find snowflakes floating around their island. Players can find them from December until February in the Northern Hemisphere, and June until August in the Southern Hemisphere.

How to collect Snowflakes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Snowflakes will float around in the air around your island for the entire winter season. It is very important to craft other frozen DIY items. Northern Hemisphere players can collect them from December 11 to February 24; whereas Southern hemisphere users can grab them from June 11 to August 24.

Some of the frozen DIYs require regular size snowflakes while others require large size snowflakes. It means you have to collect snowflakes other than from Snowboy in New Horizons. You can catch regular snowflakes floating in the air with the help of a net. Moreover, you have to catch them with good accuracy, as if you fail to catch them in one or two tries or walk into them, they will instantly disappear.

However, you don’t have to worry if you miss a few of them, as you will find tons of them floating around the island. Furthermore, if you plan to go on a snowflake hunt, always make sure you carry an extra net with you. It’s because too many uses of a single net can break the net; therefore, a backup plan always comes in handy.

Interestingly, you can only collect large snowflakes from Snowboy. You first need to locate the two snowballs and kick the Snowball 13 times to make it larger. Then, roll the second snowball into the larger snowball. If you do it perfectly, you will earn amazing rewards.

You have to always build a perfect Snowboy perfectly to earn large snowflakes. Any DIY recipe that you get from Snowboy requires large snowflakes. Are you interested in crafting frozen DIY items? Let us know in the comments down below.
