The second week of Adopt Me’s Christmas update has finally arrived, and as someone who loves exploring seasonal content in Roblox, I couldn’t wait to dive in. This update introduces some exciting new pets, mini-games, and ways to earn limited-time rewards like beanies, and it’s packed with opportunities for both casual players and dedicated collectors.
New Pets and How to Get Them
The highlight of this update has to be the Snowball Pug. These tiny, festive pups are among the rarest event pets released so far. They appear in-game every two Adopt Me days—meaning roughly every 20 minutes in real time—and require collecting 10 yarn balls to fully adopt. While it can be a bit time-consuming to gather the yarn balls, the effort is worth it if you’re aiming for a neon version, which adds an eye-catching red glow.
For players who want to speed up the process, you can consider options like trading or participating in community giveaways. Personally, I like keeping an eye on the timing cycles so I can catch the pugs as soon as they spawn—it's a fun challenge that adds a bit of excitement to the update.
Another standout addition is the Christmas Spirit pet. Unlike the Snowball Pug, this one is extremely pricey, requiring around 80,000 to 150,000 gingerbread depending on the version. Neon and Mega Neon forms are visually striking, with the Mega Neon sporting the classic rainbow effect. For collectors who enjoy aesthetics as much as rarity, this is definitely one of the most impressive releases of the season.
Maximizing Beanies and Mini-Game Rewards
A key part of the update revolves around earning yarn beanies, which can be used for cosmetic pet accessories. There are several ways to get them:
Task Board: Completing daily tasks like putting pet wear on your pets can earn you small rewards. If you complete enough tasks, you can unlock a beanie.
Mini-Games: Both the new Santa Humbug game and other mini-games offer a chance to earn a yarn beanie. The odds are about 1 in 8 for a random drop, so it’s partially based on luck. Even if you’re not great at the mini-games, you can still get lucky.
Persistent Play: Some tasks, like earning 5,000 XP on a single pet, are more time-intensive. These challenges reward dedicated players but can be frustrating for those with limited time.
From personal experience, the task board is convenient for quick rewards, but earning enough XP for a beanie can take an hour or more, especially if you’re aiming for multiple rewards. Sometimes, the easiest approach is to carefully plan your playtime around mini-games and daily tasks to gradually accumulate beanies without feeling burned out.
Tips for Managing Gingerbread and Robux
Gingerbread is the main currency for most Christmas pets, but accumulating enough through gameplay alone can take a while. For busy players, there’s always the option to convert cash or use Robux to speed things up. I’ve experimented with both methods, and while spending Robux is tempting, it’s usually not worth it for everyone—especially since conversion is limited to three times a day, giving you only 15,000 gingerbread per session.
If you want to save time without overspending, it’s best to focus on mini-games and strategic pet XP grinding. Some players, myself included, also find that joining rich trading servers can help observe how others efficiently earn rewards and manage their gingerbread—though this isn’t necessary to enjoy the update fully.
Navigating the New Sleigh Ball Game
The Christmas update also introduced a new team mini-game called Sleigh Ball. The objective is simple: deliver presents to your team’s wreath while trying to steal gifts from the opposing team. While it may sound straightforward, it can get chaotic, especially when other players are moving quickly.
A few tips for newbies:
Focus on collecting gifts near your wreath first to secure points.
Using boosts strategically can help you outrun opponents.
Don’t stress if your team is losing; even the losing side can earn gingerbread, so every effort counts.
Personally, I found it a bit confusing at first, but after a few rounds, the rhythm became more intuitive, and it adds a fun competitive layer to the holiday festivities.
Buying and Trading Pets
For those who prefer a shortcut to acquiring rare pets, platforms like U4GM can provide options for buying pets or in-game currency. While it’s always better to earn rewards naturally, trading or purchasing pets can be a reasonable alternative if you’re short on time or struggling to gather materials for rare pets like the Christmas Spirit or neon Snowball Pug.
On the other hand, you can also explore ways to buy Adopt Me pets directly within Roblox, though this approach is often more expensive than gathering them yourself. For many players, the sense of accomplishment from earning pets through tasks and mini-games outweighs the convenience of purchasing.
Overall, the week two Christmas update in Adopt Me offers a mix of adorable new pets, engaging mini-games, and challenges that can appeal to both casual and hardcore players. The Snowball Pug and Christmas Spirit are definitely must-haves for collectors, while beanies and sleigh ball mini-games provide fun diversions for everyone. The key takeaway? Plan your time wisely, enjoy the seasonal content, and don’t stress too much over the rarer rewards—they’re part of the thrill.
