How to get Festive Cocoa Beans in Disney Dreamlight Valley

A mysterious new portal has opened up in the Plaza, granting you access to a snowy wonderland in Disney Dreamlight Valley’s The Winter Floating Festival event. There’s much to get done there, but before you can get going, you’ll need to find some Festive Cocoa Beans.

Almost all event tasks require you to make something that needs this ingredient, but you’re not given any guidance on how to actually acquire it. If you’re struggling to find what you need, here’s how to get Festive Cocoa Beans in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Where to find Festive Cocoa Beans in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Festive Cocoa Beans can be found on the ground around a red and white picnic blanket on The Winter Floating Festival event island. They’re an event-exclusive variant of regular Cocoa Beans, so you must be on the special island to find them.

This ingredient is tough to find even when you know what you’re looking for, so if you’re having trouble tracking them down, here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how to locate them.

• Start at the wishing well in the center of the island. There’s only one well on the whole island, so it’s an easy landmark to track down.
• From the wishing well, head through the small, frosty archway right between the massive ornament balls and the purple cottage. This archway leads over to the Chocolate Fountain puzzle.
• Walk toward the Chocolate Fountain puzzle, then make a right as soon as you reach it.
• Head through another frosty archway to walk onto a stone path, then stop.
• Locate the Kid Snowman a few feet in front of you, which is one of the ones you need to count during the Pillar puzzle.
• Head through the small gap right behind the Kid Snowman, which is an opening right between the cottage that resembles Gaston’s house and the icy castle that looks like Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf’s home.
• Walk over to the picnic blanket to find Festive Cocoa Beans on the ground all around it.

How often do Festive Cocoa Beans respawn in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

New Festive Cocoa Beans spawn about every five minutes. Up to five Festive Cocoa Beans can be present at any given time, so to make room for more to appear, you’ll need to ensure there are fewer than five already present.

If you want to farm lots of this resource at once, equip two foraging Companions and leave your game open while standing by the blanket. Whenever new Festive Cocoa Beans spawn, your loyal critter friends will grab them for you, ensuring fresh ones spawn in frequently.

Festive Cocoa Beans are a crucial item to have lots of if you want to complete the entire The Winter Floating Festival event. You need them to brew all Festive Hot Cocoa recipes, which can then be used to feed the Frosty Rabbit and complete the Chocolate Fountain puzzle.

The first major Fortnite update for the new year is coming soon in the form of v39.20, and there’s plenty of new content in store.

Earlier this year, Epic Games revealed the annual update roadmap for Fortnite. Hence, we have known the release date since, but this countdown will help you stay in touch with the upcoming update.

Fortnite v39.20 update countdown

The Fortnite v39.20 update goes live globally on Friday, Jan. 9, across all platforms. There’s little chance for a delay, and the following countdown will expire once the update goes live.

[hurrytimer id=”1162657″]

The countdown is based on the following timings.

• 1am PT
• 3am CT
• 4am ET
• 9am UTC
• 10am CET

This is the usual schedule that Epic has been following for all major updates in the last few months. However, it’s worth noting that the time when the servers go live will differ across regions. There will be a prior maintenance as well, when Fortnite and all its modes will be completely unavailable.

What to expect from Fortnite v39.20 update

The first update of the new year is themed around South Park, and here are a few highlights to look out for.

• South Park themed skins
• South Park Mini Battle Pass
• OG Chapter 1 Season 7 Super Styles
• Chapter 1 Battle Pass Super Styles
• Blitz mode and map update
• Reload update
• Reload loot pool update
• Plenty of new cosmetics
• New jam tracks
• New emotes, available in the shop and pass.
• New weapons
• Unvaulted weapons

It will be interesting to find out how the South Park-inspired cosmetics appear in-game. There will be skins based on all major characters, including Stan, Kyle, and Kenny. The pass will be great for those who are looking to add a bunch of cosmetics to their collection.

I am also expecting certain quests themed around the South Park collab, along with new NPCs that will be on the map. For now, all we have to do is wait for the update to go live on Friday.
