THIS QUEST IS NOW OVER
This is the second Christmas quest this year, the first is no longer available so if you didn’t update your game earlier you will start with this quest once you have updated your game to the Christmas update.
PLAYERS WITHOUT THE QUEST: There seems to be a problem where the quest isn’t appearing for some players, if the quest doesn’t start for you automatically when you have the Christmas update, try restarting your device and keep checking back, if it hasn’t started by now you might need to contact EA to see if they can fix this for you.
You have 12 days to complete this quest to unlock the gingerbread house (which is free) if you complete all the goals in the time limit. There are a new set of goals each day which unlock new icy decorations and items (you need to finish the previous set before you can start the next set) NOTE: I do not know how long the icy decorations will be available once the quest is over
TIP: you don’t have to complete each day on the correct day to unlock the daily prizes, you just have to complete all goals in the time limit to unlock the gingerbread house. You can take longer than the day to complete each set, you will just be behind on the tasks if you don’t complete them by 9am the next day (when the new tasks should start)

Sixth Set: Ice Themed Toilet, Sink and Bath

The gingerbread house can be built for free on a standard or premium plot (the only difference is the premium plot has candy floss trees in the empty space behind the house)
Time to build will vary depending on how many houses you have already built
Is it worth it? Definitely! Very unique house and the only way to get the items in it is to build this house
Thanks for reading and have a great Christmas!

Wow, isn’t this quest supposed to be available till 11:59 pm Christmas night? It’s still Christmas morning here and my time is up. AND I was like 2 things away from finishing. I feel cheated.
December 26, 2015 at 11:37 am
No it finished at 9am on Christmas day as that is the time all the days started.
December 25, 2015 at 8:15 pm
I built the gingerbread house on a premium lot on the mystery island, and the roads, fence, and mailbox are all just the regular for houses built on the island. is this a glitch or is that what happens when the house is built on an island lot?
December 27, 2015 at 12:29 pm
This is what happens when you build on an island plot unfortunately.
