Jingle

"I'm a happy little reindeer!"

- Jingle

Jingle (ジングル) is a reindeer character in the. He appears once a year on Christmas Eve for Toy Day, a made-up event in Animal Crossing in place of Christmas. He is the only way to obtain items from the Jingle Series. He is not present in Wild World.

Animal Crossing


In, Jingle can be found wandering around town starting at 6 PM on Christmas Eve (24th December). He needs to be approached on five separate occasions to receive an item of his series (talking to him more than once on the same encounter does not work), also asking questions to determine what item the player receives such as flooring, wallpaper and furniture all from the Jingle Series. (Answering Foldable Things gets you the Jingle Shirt, Woven Things get you the Jingle carpet, Printed things gets you Jingle Wallpaper, and Big Things gets you Jingle furniture.) He only gives out one present per villager, but there is a way to receive more as listed below:

More Presents
To receive more presents from Jingle, the player must change their shirt each time they receive a gift. They must change their shirt, hat or other accessories while out of Jingle's sight so he does not see them. If successful, he will assume you're a different person. However, doing this for long enough will make him realize you're the same person, though he will not ask for the furniture back and will simply laugh.

For the list of his conversation, see Jingle Dialogue (GCN).

City Folk
In, Jingle can be found wandering around town starting at 8 PM on Christmas Eve (December 24). During this time, he may also be found inside other villagers houses, but only in the ones with their lights off (which indicates that the villager is not inside). This is the only time in the game the player can visit a villager's house without them inside. In one of the homes, Jingle will be inside dropping off presents. Upon talking to him, he will offer the player a present, either one they can lean on or one they can walk on, with further options of huge things. These simply mean wallpaper (lean on), carpet (walk on) and furniture (huge things), specifically furniture from the Jingle Series. Sometimes he will claim he is too tired to give you a gift. Like in Animal Crossing, he will only give one present per person, but there is a way to obtain more furniture, as mentioned below:

More Presents
To receive more presents from Jingle, the player only needs to change their face accessory or headgear (Hat) instead of a shirt to obtain more items of the Jingle Series.

Jingle Series
Jingle gives a complete set of furniture, which the Happy Room Academy rate very highly.


 * Jingle Wallpaper
 * Jingle Carpet
 * Jingle Shirt
 * Jingle Dresser
 * Jingle Piano
 * Jingle Bed
 * Jingle Table
 * Jingle Chair
 * Jingle Lamp
 * Jingle Wardrobe
 * Jingle Shelves
 * Jingle Sofa
 * Jingle Clock

All the furniture is red, white, and green, resembling festive colours. The Jingle Shirt is not a part of the exchange in City Folk, but can be bought from the Able Sisters. It is like any other shirt, so once it is available it won't appear again for a while.

Buying a Festive hat, Jingle shirt and the King's beard will complete a (out of style) Santa Claus look.
