11Overview22Winter is a short-crop season with a festival payoff. Only three crops are Winter-exclusive (Winter Melon, Carrot, Jadelume), and Tulips replace Roses in the wild flower spawn. The headline event is the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year celebration), which begins on Winter 25 and carries through Spring 4, spanning the season boundary. Plan the first three weeks of Winter around crop rotations and profession progression, and the final week around the festival.44Season Snapshot66AspectWinter InfoLength28 in-game days.Seasonal FlowersTulips (Red, Yellow, Blue).Seasonal Gmax CropWinter Melon.Major EventChinese New Year Festival (aka Spring Festival) runs Winter 25 at 6:00 AM through Spring 4 at 2:00 AM.WeatherSnowy weather unlocks exclusive winter fish species, so watch the forecast.NPC Birthdays3 in total: Garrick (Winter 6), Stella (Winter 18), Fang (Winter 22).99Winter Crops1010Crop TypeWinter-Exclusive or Shared EntriesWinter-exclusiveWinter Melon (Gmax), Carrot, Jadelume.Shared with other seasonsWinter Oilseed, Red Grape, Strawberry, River Lotus, Exotic Egg, King Water Chestnut, Orange sapling, Lychee sapling, Lemon sapling.FlowersRed Tulip, Yellow Tulip, Blue Tulip.1212Winter Fishing1313Snowy weather is the unlock for Winter's rarest catches.
