The following couple of months promise to be very exciting for Animal Crossing players. With Turkey Day already behind us, the next change to look forward to is the onset of the Winter Season for players in the Northern Hemisphere.

Players have already spotted snow on their islands. However, this phenomenon is rather gradual and will eventually reach every player in the aforementioned region.

The phenomenon of snowfall in the game is similar to rainfall. The snow can disperse in both heavier and lighter forms depending on the time of day. And it is also possible that it might stop for a few hours altogether.

This is yet another factor that tries to replicate reality. As in real life, the snow will come in bits and pieces before it covers your entire island. More importantly, the players will spot a range of changes in the game now that winter has officially arrived!

Another noticeable change that the players will witness is the availability of warmer clothes. The villagers will don warmer clothes and the players can purchase them too from Able Sisters.

Animal Crossing also has a unique playlist of tunes and jingles that run in the background. More tunes with a winter variation will make their way to the title to supplement snowfall.
