How to build a snowman in Disney Dreamlight Valley
There’s a snowball hidden somewhere around Frosted Heights, and one of your event duties is to find it and build it up into a snowman. This is one of the trickiest tasks to get done, so here’s a full breakdown of how to do it.
- Open a red chest in the Plaza. Find a red chest in the Plaza biome, which spawns randomly around this area. Inside, you’ll find a memory that contains blueprints for crafting a snowman.
- Find the massive sparkling snowball in Frosted Heights. It can spawn anywhere in this biome and appears in a different spot for all players. Mine appeared close to the cave entrance near the northeast end of the area.
- Interact with the snowman to build it over three stages, with each one requiring different items.
- Stage one – 50 Snowballs.
- Stage two – 18 Dandelion, four Hardwood, and 23 Fabric.
- Stage three – One Carrot, 20 Green Passion Lilies, and 15 Fabric.
How to find all gift boxes in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Once per day, you can search your valley to find a sparkling gift box. These items spawn randomly anywhere in the main valley, and have different locations for all players, so they’re unfortunately very difficult to track down.
There are seven gift boxes you can find, which means you’ll need to log on for a minimum of seven days during the event to find them all. Each one contains a Touch of Magic recipe you unlock upon finding it.
- Large Round Gift Box
- Large Square Gift Box
- Round Gift Box
- Square Gift Box
- Fancy Gift Box
