Disney Dreamlight Valley’s annual Gift of Giving event has arrived, ushering in a fun festival season packed with activities you can tackle. One of the tougher ones you’ll encounter is the Ho! Ho! Ho! duty.
All you’re given to work with is the name of this task with no additional details to help you through it. The name is a slight clue, but not enough to help you actually get going on this one, so here’s how to complete Ho! Ho! Ho! in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Ho! Ho! Ho! duty in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To complete the Ho! Ho! Ho! duty in DDV, you need to give 10 villagers gifts wrapped in Festive Wrapping Paper. There are a few key steps you need to get done in this process, including:
- Finding Festive Wrapping Paper.
- Crafting eligible gifts.
- Finding 10 different villagers to give presents to.
This is one of the trickiest tasks to get done in the Gift of Giving event since it has quite a few complex parts to it. It’s certainly worth tackling to ensure you get to claim an exclusive prize, though, so here’s a full breakdown of everything you need to do to get it done.
How to get Festive Wrapping Paper in Disney Dreamlight Valley
The first step is to get your hands on some Festive Wrapping Paper, which can be found close to Scrooge McDuck’s shop wherever you have it placed in your main valley. It does not spawn near his store in DLC worlds, so make sure you’re only looking in Dreamlight Valley for it.
Between one and two Festive Wrapping Paper spawn every two hours, and a maximum of four can be present at any given time. If four Festive Wrapping Paper are present, the respawn timer won’t start until you pick at least one up. Because of this, it’s a good idea to check for it as often as you can while the event is running.
How to craft gifts in Disney Dreamlight Valley
There are four types of gifts you can craft with Festive Wrapping Paper. All four of these items can be given to villagers just like regular presents, but since they’re special, they’ll earn you both friendship points and progress in the Ho! Ho! Ho! event task.
| Gift | Crafting recipe | Friendship points |
|---|---|---|
| Delicious Gift | Festive Wrapping Paper Hot Cocoa Minnie’s Gingerbread Cookies | 1,200 |
| Shiny Gift | Festive Wrapping Paper Shiny Emerald Shiny Ruby | 1,700 |
| Handcrafted Gift | Festive Wrapping Paper Holiday Feast Chair | 500 |
| Naughty Gift | Festive Wrapping Paper Coal Ore | 300 |
Once you’re ready to give some gifts away, find any villager around the valley and select the “I have something to give you!” option next to the present icon. Then, repeat this process nine more times to give a total of 10 presents away.
You can make any type of gifts you want out of the four options, but you must give presents to 10 unique villagers. I recommend taking note of each character you give a gift to, as it’s easy to forget and end up giving the same character one twice. You can also use the Character tab under the Collection page to simply run down the list of villagers in order if you’re willing to give presents to any character.
Ho! Ho! Ho! duty reward in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Completing the Ho! Ho! Ho! duty by gifting villagers 10 wrapped presents gets you the Pile of Gifts furniture items as a reward. It’s a great item for decorating festive and event spaces, so be sure to work through this mission while you can.
If you miss out on completing Ho! Ho! Ho! this time around, you’ll have another shot next year. The Gift of Giving event is an annual occurrence, which means it comes back around the same time each year. All old tasks stay, but some new ones may be added, too.
There are plenty of other festive tasks to get done after this one. Next, you might work on finding gift boxes around the valley, catching all Festive Fish, and tackling Winter Warmth Star Path duties.
