With Christmas just around the corner, Disney Dreamlight Valley players can enjoy getting their valleys ready for the festive season. With endless customization options in the game, players can participate in creative decorating, utilizing and crafting seasonal decorative items to scatter around the valley. With the new, Christmas-themed Frost & Fairies Star Path on the way with the Sew Delightful update on December 4, there are a couple of ways in the meantime that will allow players to embrace the Christmas spirit and to prepare their valleys for the most wonderful time of the year.
One of the ways that Disney Dreamlight Valley players can decorate their biomes for Christmas is by cooking up some of the Christmas-themed recipes that are available in the game. Once cooked, the dishes can be placed on tabletops across the valley or inside homes for a delightfully seasonal decoration. What’s more, if a player is truly getting into the Christmas spirit, they can choose to gift the Christmas dishes they create to the various Disney characters across the valley in order to boost friendships, and some can even be sold to Goofy’s Stall for Star Coins.

The Key Ingredient Is Slush Ice
Greymane Gaming
Snow Cones are a one-star dessert in Disney Dreamlight Valley that requires just one ingredient, but a player will need to befriend Remy at friendship level 10 in order to get it. Once a player reaches maximum friendship levels with Remy, they must complete “The Unknown Flavor” quest, which will unlock the key ingredient to make a Snow Cone: Slush Ice. Once unlocked, Slush Ice can be purchased for 150 Star Coins from Chez Remy’s kitchen.
Snow Cones are adorable as a decorative piece, but they can also restore 410 energy by consuming them, or they can be sold at any of Goofy’s Stalls for 180 Star Coins. Snow Cones in Disney Dreamlight Valley take the form of ice cream, with a serving of six Snow Cones in a holder.
Although this dessert could arguably be suitable for summer, the process of unlocking its key ingredient, Slush Ice, with Remy, involves obtaining Snowballs from the Frosted Heights, which ties in to the overall theme of the Christmas season. Snow Cones make for an adorable decorative tabletop piece, or the sweet treat can be gifted to any of the Disney characters in the valley, with its playful appearance and sugary taste making it a nice choice of gift for anyone to help level up a friendship.

Lemons can be picked from lemon trees in either the Forest of Valor or in the Glade of Trust, and Sugarcane can be purchased down at Dazzle Beach from Goofy’s Stall. The Sour Snow Cones, when made, are an excellent energy booster, restoring a whopping 1,257 energy, and can be sold for a price of 282 Star Coins.

The Fruitcake is handy to keep in one’s inventory for a quick boost of energy, and it can be sold for 96 Star Coins. Because Fruitcake in Disney Dreamlight Valley is one of the easiest recipes in the game to create, it’s a handy trick for players of the game to ensure they’ve placed some fruit trees or berry bushes close to home, or at least close to Chez Remy’s Restaurant.
This makes it quicker and easier for players to access four fruits that are required to make the Fruitcake recipe. Available early on in the game, raspberry bushes are handy to keep nearby, and harvesting them daily will earn Dreamlight. It’s also useful for a player to always ensure they’ve got some Wheat growing nearby so their pantry is always fully stocked with the ingredients to make this energy-boosting treat.

Feel Festive With Minnie’s Gingerbread Cookies
A Lovely Idea To Give As A Gift
Nothing screams Christmas quite like gingerbread, and Minnie’s Gingerbread Cookies in Disney Dreamlight Valley are no exception. This easy-to-make two-star dessert simply requires two ingredients: Wheat and Ginger.

Once made, the cookies are an adorable item to gift to a friend in the game, or they can be eaten for 379 energy. Unfortunately, they don’t sell for much compared to other baked items in the game, selling for a mere 67 Star Coins.
