FarmVille Holiday Present Goals: Everything you need to know

As we eagerly await the launch of this year's Holiday Tree in FarmVille, which has already started rolling out to some farmers, we can now start on a set of Holiday Present goals in the game. Before you might panic, you don't have to complete these goals on your new Winter Wonderland farm specifically - instead, you can travel between your four farms, completing goals in whichever farm is easiest. In this way, you can plant crops across farms to better reach totals, or just to plan ahead using our guide. Here's a complete look at the requirements for all six goals, thanks to the folks at FarmVilleFreak.

Deck the Halls!

    Get 6 Boughs of Holly
    Harvest an Aviary 1 Time
    Harvest 100 Fruit Crops


The Holly is available to earn by posting a general news item to your wall asking your friends to send them to you. Meanwhile, you can harvest any kind of fruit crop in the game, regardless of growth time, so feel free to grow something like Strawberries, which take just four hours to grow, to get done with this task easily. For finishing this first goal, you'll receive 100 XP, 2,500 coins and a Holiday Corgi (a corgi dog dressed as Santa).

Pucker Up!

    Get 6 Mistletoe
    Harvest 1 Holiday Corgi
    Harvest 150 Flower Crops


This is a similar goal to the first, but with flower crops instead of fruit. In addition, you can place the Holiday Corgi in an Animal Pen to harvest it much more quickly than if you waited for it to be harvest-ready on its own. Finish this goal and you'll earn 100 XP, 2,500 coins and a Holiday Cat (this looks more like a traditional fairy than anything "holiday," but we'll let it slide).

The Gift of Song

    Get 6 Holiday Song Books
    Harvest your Livestock Pen
    Harvest 200 Grain Crops


Again, we have an incredibly similar goal, which is still pretty simple to complete. Regardless of the farm it's on, just harvest a ready Livestock Pen to finish one task and grow whatever Grain you'd like until you've harvested 200 plots in total. Ask your friends for the Song Books and you'll finish this goal off, earning 100 XP, 2,500 coins and a Mini Elf Goat in the process.

Gift Boxes

    Get 6 Gift Boxes
    Harvest 1 Mini Elf Goat
    Harvest 300 Golden Poinsettias


Golden Poinsettias are a limited edition crop in the store for the winter holiday season; they take 16 hours to grow. For finishing this goal, you'll receive 100 XP, 2,500 coins and a Holiday Alpaca.

Season's Greetings

    Get 8 Gift Tags
    Harvest Zoos 3 Times
    Harvest 350 Vegetable Crops


If you only have one of each animal storage building, this one will slow you down, as you'll need to wait three days to finish the Zoo task. On the other hand, if you have one of each pen on each farm, you can simply travel to each farm and collect from each pen to finish this off just as quickly as the previous tasks. You'll receive 100 XP, 2,500 coins and a Holiday Turkey for finishing this goal.

Put a Bow On It!

    Get 10 Fancy Bows
    Harvest 2 Holiday Alpacas
    Harvest 400 Golden Poinsettias


Here's another goal that might slow you down. Either you can try to receive a second Holiday Alpaca from Mystery Babies in the Winter Animal Pen, or you can simply wait two days to harvest the same one (which should work, in theory). As for the Fancy Bows, just keep with tradition - ask your friends to send them to you and you'll finish the goal in time. You'll receive 100 XP, 2,500 coins and a Cupid Reindeer for finishing this final goal.

You'll have two weeks to finish these goals in your game, but as you can use all of your farms to complete them more quickly and easily, the only real tests that might slow you down come when harvesting multiple Zoos or the Holiday Alpacas. The rest relies on a lot of help from friends, but I'm sure your active neighbors will be just as eager to help you out as they are to finish these goals in their own game.

What do you think of these Holiday Present goals in FarmVille? Have you already received your Holiday Tree to go along with them, or are you just trying to get a head-start on these goals?

CityVille Save the Holidays Act 1: Everything you need to know

Similar to the Halloween Monster event in CityVille, that saw us completing three acts of goals dealing with Halloween Monsters, community buildings and more, the Winter Holiday season has received its own in-game event. Santa has crash-landed in your town, and it's up to you to complete three Acts of goals to help him get back on his feet. As of this writing, only Act 1 is available to complete, and you'll need to be at least level nine to access this entire feature.

Act 1 is called "Santa's Little Helper!," and if you can finish all three goals in the Act, you'll receive an Outdoor Skating Rink (decorated for the holidays, of course) as a reward. You'll also receive individual rewards for finishing each goal. Here's how to do just that.

Let's Talk Shop!

    Place Santa's Workshop
    Have 10 Presents
    Harvest 10 Wheat


Santa's Workshop is this year's collection building for the Christmas holiday. You'll use it to collect Christmas presents from your friends, and we'll have a complete guide to the building for you as soon as possible you can check out our full guide to earning presents right here. In the meantime, the Wheat takes 2.1 days to harvest, so you'll want to plant that as soon as possible to waste little time. Finishing this first goal gives you a Snowman, a decoration with a 1% payout bonus.

Deck the Halls!

    Ask friends for 15 Tinsel
    Collect from Holiday Bakeries 10 Times
    Collect 10 Wreaths from Residences


Just collecting from your town's houses gives you a chance to randomly receive Wreaths. Meanwhile, the Holiday Bakery costs 9,800 coins and takes 245 Goods to operate. You can either build and operate more than one at once to finish faster, or just collect and supply the same individual Bakery ten times - it's up to you. Finally, the Tinsel is earned through a general wall post. Finish this goal and you'll receive 3,000 coins.

That's a Wrap!

    Ask friends for 20 Stockings
    Have 50 Presents
    Collect 10 Toys from Businesses


Similar to the Wreaths, collecting from businesses gives you a random chance of collecting Toys. To be clear, you apparently don't have to collect exclusively from Toy Stores to receive these Toys - any business will count. However, your own luck may vary. Personally, I've collected from plenty of random businesses and haven't received a single Toy. Hopefully this will sort itself out in time. For finishing this final goal in Act 1, you'll receive a Tree Lot. This is the Tree Lot from last year's holiday event, so if you weren't playing back then, or sold your first one, you'll receive another one here.

Once all three Acts roll out in this Save the Holidays event, you'll eventually have a chance to the City Snow Globe as the ultimate prize. We'll make sure to bring you continued coverage of the event, complete with guides to finishing Acts 2 and 3 so keep checking back with us!

What do you think of this Save the Holiday event? Do you think it's starting off easier than the Halloween Monsters event, or will it be just as hard?
