During the winter time, Animal Crossing: New Horizons players will find special Snowflakes floating around their island to craft with.
From December until February in the Northern Hemisphere, and June until August in the Southern Hemisphere, Snowflakes will float around in the air. You can use your bug net to catch them right out of the air. If you listen carefully, you can hear the Snowflakes near you make a twinkling sound.
Just like other seasonal recipes, the winter recipes need to be shot out of the air from a balloon using a slingshot. These recipes will only spawn during the winter, so if you miss out on them, you’ll have to time travel, or ask your buddies for help.
The recipes below can be collected throughout all of winter. Other snow-themed recipes may be locked to specific winter months, however.
