Festive Wrapping Paper spawns around Scrooge McDuck’s shop in the main valley. Up to four can be present on the ground at once, so if you want more to appear, you need to collect them regularly to make room for more.

How to build a snowman in Disney Dreamlight Valley

There’s a snowball hidden somewhere around Frosted Heights, and one of your event duties is to find it and build it up into a snowman. This is one of the trickiest tasks to get done, so here’s a full breakdown of how to do it.

• Open a red chest in the Plaza. Find a red chest in the Plaza biome, which spawns randomly around this area. Inside, you’ll find a memory that contains blueprints for crafting a snowman.
• Find the massive sparkling snowball in Frosted Heights. It can spawn anywhere in this biome and appears in a different spot for all players. Mine appeared close to the cave entrance near the northeast end of the area.
• Interact with the snowman to build it over three stages, with each one requiring different items.

  • Stage one – 50 Snowballs.
  • Stage two – 18 Dandelion, four Hardwood, and 23 Fabric.
  • Stage three – One Carrot, 20 Green Passion Lilies, and 15 Fabric.

How to find all gift boxes in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Once per day, you can search your valley to find a sparkling gift box. These items spawn randomly anywhere in the main valley, and have different locations for all players, so they’re unfortunately very difficult to track down.

There are seven gift boxes you can find, which means you’ll need to log on for a minimum of seven days during the event to find them all. Each one contains a Touch of Magic recipe you unlock upon finding it.

• Large Round Gift Box
• Large Square Gift Box
• Round Gift Box
• Square Gift Box
• Fancy Gift Box
• Tall Round Gift Box
• Tall Square Gift Box

How long is the Gift of Giving event in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

The Gift of Giving event is available to complete from Dec. 17 to 31. It’s a fairly short one, so you’ve only got two weeks to tackle everything it entails. Luckily, this event is annual, which means it will be back in December 2026 if you miss out on anything.

If you’re looking for more festive fun, be sure to tackle the Winter Warmth Star Path event, too, as this one also has plenty of holiday prizes and is running alongside the Gift of Giving event.

The Locked Gate arrived in ARC Raiders as part of The North Line update, and completing it will require a fair amount of coordination. You can run across it randomly during the Cold Snap update, but the conditions remain the same.

Like all map conditions, the Locked Gate isn’t available at all times. You’ll have to be lucky to find it on a map rotation. This guide will help you to complete the event successfully if you manage to start a raid while it’s available.

ARC Raiders Locked Gate event walkthrough

The Locked Gate event takes place on the Blue Gate map, but adds a custom modifier. The modifier restricts you from using any Raider Hatches and also blocks entry to the underground tunnels. All of this is part of an emergency shutdown protocol. Your job will be to find relevant security codes to open a locked gate (hence, the name).

To begin the quest, head to the Gate Control Room inside the Warehouse Complex. I have marked its location on the screenshot below, but it’s hard to miss. The Warehouse Complex is located between the central and the northern part of the Blue Gate map.

Head inside the room, and you’ll find four systems. When you try to interact with them, you’ll be asked for security codes. Finding the security codes is easy, as they will have a POI in their respective names.

If you’re trying to find the Pilgrim’s Peak code, you’ll have to head over to the location. All four POIs will be present on the Blue Gate map, but finding them can take a fair amount of time (not to mention the added dangers of ARC enemies and enemy Raiders).

Checkpoint Gate location

Once you have found all four codes, head back to the Gate Control Room. Use the four codes to unlock the central gate in the Checkpoint POI (marked on the screenshot above). You’ll find an unlocked gate, along with plenty of valuable items to loot inside. However, be highly cautious as enemy Raiders could try to ambush you for a free lot.
