We don’t know yet what exactly the upcoming update will bring. But it’s a strong indication that Pave will feature in a similar role to previous games and host the Festivale event. For those that don’t know, the Festivale event in Animal Crossing resembles the real world Carnival celebrations during spring.
In previous games, the event typically saw players collecting something bright and colorful like feathers and returning them to Pave. The peacock would then show off some outstanding dance moves before rewarding players with limited-time furniture items.
The exact details for the January update are still unknown. But based on the last few holiday-themed events in New Horizons, players can expect to see a bunch of new Festivale-themed items in the next update.

Meanwhile, the second update we know about coming at some point in 2021 is the Super Mario Crossover. Thanks to the Super Mario 35th Anniversary trailer released in September last year, we know that Super Mario themed furniture will be added to Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Unfortunately, all the trailer revealed was that it will arrive at some point in March this year. Therefore, it’s likely that the crossover event will launch sometime in the lead up to March 10. The date marks the occasion of Mario Day. Previous games in the Animal Crossing series have also featured Mario and other Nintendo-themed items.
