Shyla Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 A Holiday Treat During the month of December, a few new unlocks will be purchasable at the Science Shop that will grant the "Holiday Tree" and "Holiday Wreath" building recipes as well as a new December Sign Set. The "Holiday Tree" may also present random gifts to the player only during the month of December. Note: While these unlocks can only be purchased at the Science Shop through the month of December, they will stay unlocked forever for your world if you have purchased them. Creative games will have these recipes unlocked permanently if loaded during the month of December.
