✨ The Winter Floating Festival: Event Ends

The Winter Floating Festival: All Puzzle Guides & Rewards (2025)

The Winter Floating Festival brought a magical seasonal event to Disney Dreamlight Valley, complete with a Floating Island, cozy decorations, and five unique puzzles to solve over time. Each puzzle offered a different challenge - from cooking to observation and exploration - and rewarding you with new festive items. With this limited time event coming to an end, be sure to complete all puzzles and unlock every reward before the event wraps up on January 28 and melts away!

Below is a full breakdown of all five puzzles, along with their rewards and video guides.

Puzzle 1 – The Frosty Rabbit: This puzzle revolves around feeding the Frosty Rabbit the correct Festive Hot Cocoa based on the day of the week. Completing this puzzle takes a minimum of four days, as each correct meal rewards a memory orb. Once all pieces are collected, digging at the marked location unlocks the reward.

✨ The Winter Floating Festival: Event Recipes

The Winter Floating Festival introduces three new recipes that play an important role in solving several of the event’s puzzles. These festive hot cocoa meals aren’t just new recipes for the collection - you’ll need them to progress through parts of the puzzles on the floating island and unlock rewards along the way.

Festive Hot Cocoa Recipes

There are three festive-themed recipes available during the event:

Festive Blueberry Hot Cocoa

Festive Cherry Hot Cocoa

Festive Mint Hot Cocoa

All three recipes require a special ingredient: the Festive Cocoa Bean. While it looks identical to the regular Cocoa Bean found in the Valley, it is a separate, event-exclusive ingredient. The Festive Cocoa Bean can only be found on the Winter Floating Festival’s floating island, so be sure to stock up while the event is active.

How to Unlock the Recipes

To unlock the festive hot cocoa recipes, you’ll need to explore the floating island to locate red chests scattered throughout the event area. Each chest contains one of the hot cocoa recipes, gradually expanding your cooking options as you progress through the festival.

Once unlocked, these recipes will appear in your cooking collection menu and can be prepared like any other meal, provided you have the required ingredients.

Why These Recipes Matter

These winter recipes are more than just cozy seasonal treats. They’re required to solve several puzzles during the Winter Floating Festival event, making them essential for progressing through the event and unlocking all available rewards before the event ends.
