The Christmas update in Adopt Me is getting close, and if it is anything like the past few years, we can expect a ton of new pets, a fresh event currency, a few winter themed mini games, and the usual advent calendar full of daily surprises. Players who plan ahead usually end up with a huge advantage, especially during the first week when everything is expensive and in high demand.
This guide covers bucks, trades, eggs, potions, and some small tricks that can help you make the most of the Christmas event as soon as it begins.
Start Saving Your Bucks Early
One of the biggest mistakes players make is ignoring their bucks until the update is already out. Adopt Me has been testing a feature in recent events where you can trade bucks for the seasonal currency. During one of the older Christmas events, you could exchange 3,500 bucks for 70,000 gingerbread. That is a huge jump for anyone who wants to get the new pets fast. Many traders buy Adopt Me pets early so they can make neons as soon as the event starts.
If you want to build up your bucks without spending Robux, here are a few simple routines:
Check your task board daily. Most tasks are easy and take almost no time. If a task is annoying, refresh the board until you get something quick.
Always place lure baits. Most of the time, the lure gives you bucks, so the more you place, the more passive income you get. There is a tiny chance of getting a big jackpot reward, but even the normal payouts are worth it.
Do not buy bucks with Robux. It is one of the least efficient purchases in the entire game. You are better off earning bucks through tasks and lures.
Pick Up Old Christmas Pets Before Prices Rise
Every year, older Christmas pets start rising in value once the new winter event is close. People suddenly want to collect matching holiday pets, create neons, or bring out themed pets for roleplay.
Pets like Snowball, Ice Moth Dragon, Wolf, Ice Golem, and Puffin always get more attention around December. If you want to make profit, this is when you should grab them.
Right now is the perfect time because players are thinking about Halloween or normal pets, not Christmas. Once the event starts, the value goes up and people become protective of their winter pets.
If you are missing any older Christmas pets, this is your chance to get them at a fair price.
Stack Up on Basic Eggs and Crystal Eggs
A lot of players do not know this, but regular eggs sometimes get a temporary event pool added during big holiday updates. It happened during Halloween, where normal eggs could hatch spooky pets for a limited period.
There is a good chance the same thing will happen for Christmas. When the update goes live, basic eggs and crystal eggs might start hatching winter pets including common, uncommon, rare, and even legendary ones.
If you want a head start, buy a bunch of these eggs now and keep them in your inventory.
If you are releasing pets to get egg points, be careful. Only release pets you can easily replace. The best option is mega neon commons that you have duplicates of, like cats or dogs. Never release anything rare or out of game unless you are prepared to lose it.
Collect Age Up Potions While You Can
Age up potions become extremely important during Christmas. These potions help you finish tasks instantly, which saves a lot of time when you are trying to make neon or mega neon pets.
To get the potions, you need a fully grown pet or a fully grown neon or mega neon. Completing tasks with them gives you different types of potions. You can get regular age potions, tiny ones, and very rare potions like the sugar skull potion.
Also, lures have a decent chance of dropping these potions, so check them often.
Why are these potions so valuable? Because the first neon or mega neon of a new pet always gets offered insane trades. People will pay big just to be the first owner of a neon new Christmas pet.
If a new expensive Robux pet comes out, and you are quick enough to make the first neon, you can get overpays worth several rare pets, potions, or even older event pets in return.
Learn How Trading Servers Work Before the Update
Trading servers explode with activity once the Christmas update drops. Everyone rushes in to trade new pets, buy gingerbread, and look for good deals.
Adopt Me’s built in trading server system makes it easy to find active servers. If you want to be ready, start practicing trading now. Learn the value of old winter pets, study popular trades, and get used to how fast paced trading becomes during big events.
You can also join community trading servers or follow players who host public lobbies for fans.
Get Familiar With Mini Games
Most Christmas updates bring back older mini games along with one or two new ones. Ice skating almost always returns, and it is one of the easiest ways to collect gingerbread since it resets every in game day.
When new mini games drop, learn the rules fast. The quicker you master them, the more gingerbread you will earn early in the update. Early gingerbread usually means you can buy pets sooner than most players.
Do Not Skip the Advent Calendar
Every Christmas season, Adopt Me releases an advent calendar with rewards that can only be collected for one day each. The final day usually gives a special pet that will never return. These pets tend to gain value over time.
Even if you do not have time to play, log in for a minute, collect the calendar reward, and leave. You will be thankful later when the items go out of game forever.
Final Thoughts
Getting ready for the Adopt Me Christmas update does not require grinding for hours every day. Small habits like saving bucks, buying eggs early, gathering potions, collecting older winter pets, and practicing trading can put you miles ahead of most players.
Once the update goes live, you will be ready to buy pets quickly, create neons faster than the crowd, and get amazing trades during the first week of the event.
