Merry Christmas Everyone! Who got their free reindeer this morning?! To find it go to the pet store, click on reindeer, click on the arrow to go across to the reindeer because the first one isn’t free! The brown one is free so click to buy then choose a house for it to go in!

I think you need the pet store to get a reindeer and if you didn’t complete the goals I think you can still get reindeers for 75LPs!

As it took soo long to complete these goals, I was hoping that all the reindeers would be free but oh well!

Note: I live in England, due to the time difference I may not be able to reply to your questions the day you ask them!

Thanks for reading!

  1. Help please! I have got the elf in the workshop and no matter where I stand even of the elf is working or not I can’t talk to him, it comes up with the option to talk but when I click on it it comes up with the blue footprint speech bubble and a fustrated sim? I’ve tried moving my sim but nothing works!!! Help!!!

  2. I am trying to complete day 5. I am at the point where I have to talk to the elf. I select him and hit where it says “Excuse me? Hello!” But my sim will stand there and the 2 blue feet show up above her head and waves her arms. Is there something else I have to do to get the elf to talk for the 7 minutes? I have tried multiple times and it hasn’t worked. Any suggestions?

    • What I did was send my sim home, fly him back to Xmas Island, and without moving anywhere after getting there, tapping the elf.

    • I have tried everything everyone has said to try and nothing worked until someone said to buy the santa outfit from the costume shop and then try talking to the elf and finally it worked! Hopefully it works for you too!

  3. IT WORKED!!!

    AFTER: switching sims; closing and reopening the game… And getting really upset, I tried STANDING CLOSE TO THE XMAS TREE and THEN clicking the elf… AND IT FINALLY WORKED.

    HUGE TKS FOR THE HINTS!!!
    Kindest regards ❤

  4. I cant figure out how say ‘excuse me? Hello!’ To the elf because it keeps saying tha i cant walk there. I even tried next to the tree like u said!

    • On the online store option that comes up If you click on the LP you can buy it or if the blue option comes up say “free LP” click on that and watch the videos and then… TA DA you should have some LP

    • If you click on the currency store search for a shape saying “Free LP” and then watch the free videos! 🎅🎄🎁 I hope that helped! If none of that worked and you are really desperate you could buy some with real money but ask for your parents permission first, ASK FOR PARENT’S PERMISSION BEFORE SPENDING REAL MONEY ON A CURRENCY PACK!

      MERRY CHRISTMAS!

  5. Hey so I’ve tried everything you guys mentioned for the elf thing, but it’s not working

  8. I have went through the goals to the point of purchasing the sleigh for my sim, but it didn’t complete the goal and allow me to move further with it. Any idea how I can get it to recognize that I purchased the sleigh so I can move into the next step?? Any help would be appreciated.

  9. I’m only level 6, can I not do the Christmas quest? Nothing comes up as an option to start this quest…

  10. Help please. I’ve just completed day 7 and Santa just disappeared after that. I’ve restarted the app and he’s still nit there. The quests do not appear too.

  11. OK, so i was saying excuse me hello to the elf, when my game froze and closed itself. Then when i open it back up, the elf is gone. I have flown back and fourth from home, restarted the app. but no matter what the elf is gone. but im still stuck on the quest… any thoughts?

  13. Plz reply I can’t even find santa to start the quest plz help I really want a pet reindeer also I am not getting gifts delivered to my door plz plz reply

  14. I haven’t got the park built yet, I need to feed the reindeer…I see the sleigh sitting by the lake but I can’t tap on them..(i’m using the ipod app) I have all the requirements to build the park except for “complete the love is in the air goal” Which I can no longer do….What do i do???

  15. Ps you have to fly to Egypt on day eight after communicating to the nutcracker, do you have a fire pole add me on Game Center DK_1995

  16. Ive tried everything to get the elf to talk. But the elf is not at its desk. He’s by the front door, none of my 23 sims can talk to him! Please help!!

  17. Day 8 is impossible, just look at the amount of time the stuff takes. You would have to be up all night to get the bleeding thing done.

  18. It won’t let me say excuse me hello to an elf. I’ve tried closing the game or moving closer and further I’ve even restarted my iPad but it still won’t work. What should I do? Help!!

  19. What happens if you don’t complete the quests in time? How many days are there? Oh there’s 12… I just realised that but do u get to choose the reindeer

    • Then you don’t unlock that days item? I usually complete them all so I don’t know! And i don’t know about the reindeer either, I don’t work for EA I am completing these quests at the same time as you!

  20. Do you have a soccer all I can use? None of my other friends have one and I can’t seem to find one at your houses either, any chance you know who/where one is?

  21. How much more days until the reindeer is unlocked?? I finished day nine and I am tired of these goals!
