Let’s dive into the details of what’s coming your way on December 10th, 2025, and beyond.
But here’s where it gets truly magical: You won’t have to wait until the stroke of midnight to meet the iconic Cinderella from Disney’s classic tale! With a sprinkle of Fairy Godmother’s magic, you’ll soon be able to welcome this beloved princess into your Valley. And this is just the beginning!
NEW CONTENT
A Glass Slipper’s Tale: Follow the trail of a familiar glass slipper to uncover where Cinderella has been hiding all this time. But here’s the catch: To start this quest, you’ll need to have already unlocked the Fairy Godmother from Disney’s Cinderella. Once you do, break the protective pumpkin enchantment and bring Cinderella to your Valley!
Friendship Quests & Rewards: Assist Cinderella in her friendship quests, explore a new hobby, befriend curious critters, and plan a Valley-wide Friendship Ball. And this is the part most people miss: Completing these tasks unlocks her dazzling friendship rewards, including exclusive items you won’t find anywhere else!
Winter Warmth Star Path: Celebrate the season with festive furnishings and a cozy new holiday Baby Pegasus companion. It’s the perfect way to bring holiday cheer to your Valley.
The Gift of Giving Returns: From December 17th to 31st, complete previous years’ achievements, earn new rewards, and log in on December 25th for an extra surprise—claimable until the end of the month!
Winter Floating Festival: From January 7th to 28th, brave the cold and tackle weekly puzzles for exclusive wintry rewards. It’s a frosty adventure you won’t want to miss!
Premium Shop Exclusives: Keep an eye out for the magical Cinderella Mega Bundle, the Icy Frozen Palace, an adorable Husky Puppy, and much more. Plus, seasonal Moonstone packs will be available for a limited time, with new cosmetic items arriving in future updates.
Controversial Question: Should limited-time items like the Cinderella Mega Bundle be more accessible, or do you think their exclusivity adds to their charm? Let us know in the comments!
DREAMTEAMS
DreamTeams are finally here, and they’re all about building community! Once you’ve completed the “Friendship is Everything” quest, you can create or join a team with up to seven friends. Customize your team’s name, motto, and motif, and start trading items. But here’s where it gets controversial: Some players worry that DreamTeams might create exclusivity—what’s your take?
- Your DreamTeam: Manage your team’s identity, view activity logs, and even transfer ownership if needed.
- Members: Check out detailed profiles, including DreamSnaps rankings and story progression. Owners can also manage and remove members.
- Item Sharing: Request or donate items, but remember, you can only make two requests per day. Pro Tip: Coordinate with your team to maximize donations!
- Team Feed: Share and react to pictures, with DreamSnaps automatically posted (unless you turn it off in settings).
