Understanding Grow a Garden Christmas Gifts
Grow a Garden Christmas gifts are special reward containers that you can earn during the limited-time Christmas Harvest event. These gifts come in five different tiers, each offering increasingly valuable rewards. The Christmas event began on December 6, 2025, and will run until December 20, giving players a limited window to collect all the exclusive items.
The five gift tiers are:
- Common Gift (52.63% drop rate)
- Rare Gift (26.32% drop rate)
- Mythical Gift (13.16% drop rate)
- Gold Gift (5.26% drop rate)
- Rainbow Gift (2.63% drop rate)
Each tier contains different items, with higher-tier gifts offering more valuable and exclusive rewards. The drop rates show how likely you are to receive each gift type when you complete the requirements.
How to Get Christmas Gifts in Grow a Garden?
There are two main methods to obtain Christmas gifts in Grow a Garden. Understanding both methods will help you maximize your gift collection during the event.
Method 1: Submitting Christmas Mutated Plants
The primary way to get Christmas gifts is by submitting Christmas mutated plants to the floating present in the event area. Here’s how it works:
- Go to the event area in the Grow a Garden lobby
- Find the floating present next to Tinsel the Elf
- Interact with it to submit your Christmas mutated plants
- Earn points based on the rarity of your plants
- Complete the points requirement within 10 minutes to receive the gift
Different plant rarities give different points:
- Common: 1 Point
- Uncommon: 2 Points
- Rare: 3 Points
- Legendary: 4 Points
- Mythical: 5 Points
- Divine: 6 Points
- Prismatic: 7 Points
- Transcendent: 8 Points
Method 2: Samta’s Here Weather Event
The second method to get Christmas gifts is during the special “Samta’s Here” weather event. This is a random weather occurrence that happens during the Christmas event. Here’s what you need to know:
- The Samta’s Here weather event occurs randomly and lasts for 10 minutes
- During this event, Samta flies around the lobby in his sleigh
- He drops various presents at random locations
- You can collect these presents by pressing the ‘E’ key when near them
- Other players can also collect these presents, so be quick!
The presents dropped during this event can be of any tier, making it an exciting opportunity to get higher-tier gifts without submitting plants.
Common Gift: The Beginner’s Choice
The Common Gift is the most frequently obtained gift tier, making it perfect for players just starting with the Christmas event. Here’s everything you need to know about this entry-level gift.
Requirements:
- Points needed: 100
- Drop rate: 52.63%
Contents and Drop Rates:
- 3x Common Coal (17.65%)
- 10x Event Lantern (17.65%)
- 10x Watering Can (17.65%)
- 2x Snow Shovel (17.65%)
- Peppermint Pop Seed (17.65%)
- Christmas Egg (11.76%)
The Common Gift provides basic items that are useful for everyday gardening in Grow a Garden. While the rewards aren’t as exciting as higher-tier gifts, they’re still valuable for new players or those looking to stock up on common supplies. The Christmas Egg is the most notable reward here, as it can hatch into various Christmas-themed pets.
For the best strategy with Common Gifts, focus on submitting any Christmas mutated plants you have, regardless of rarity. Since the point requirement is low, you can complete these quickly and consistently throughout the event.
Rare Gift: Step Up Your Rewards
The Rare Gift offers better rewards than the Common tier and is a great middle-ground option for players who want more valuable items without the high requirements of top-tier gifts.
Requirements:
- Points needed: 175
- Drop rate: 26.32%
Contents and Drop Rates:
- Peppermint Pop Seed (27.27%)

- 10x Event Lantern (13.64%)
- Christmas Egg (13.64%)
- Areaclaimer (9.09%)
- Pine Beetle (4.55%)
- Levelup Lollipop (4.55%)
The Rare Gift introduces more valuable items like the Areaclaimer, which is useful for claiming garden areas, and the Pine Beetle pet. The Levelup Lollipop is particularly valuable as it helps level up your pets faster. The increased chance of getting Christmas Eggs also makes this tier more appealing than Common Gifts.
To efficiently obtain Rare Gifts, focus on submitting higher-rarity Christmas mutated plants. The extra points from rare and legendary plants will help you reach the 175-point requirement more quickly, allowing you to collect more gifts throughout the event.
Mythical Gift: Entering Premium Territory
The Mythical Gift represents a significant jump in quality and value, offering some of the most sought-after items in the Christmas event. This tier is where players start getting truly exclusive rewards.
Requirements:
- Points needed: 250

Contents and Drop Rates:
- Christmas Egg (19.51%)

- 2x Medium Toy (14.63%)
- Gumdrop Seed (14.63%)
- Pine Beetle (14.63%)
- Areaclaimer (9.76%)
- Christmas Sprinkler (9.76%)
- Eggnog Chick (2.44%)
The Mythical Gift introduces the Christmas Sprinkler, a special item that helps with watering your garden, and the Eggnog Chick, an exclusive pet only available from this gift tier. The Gumdrop Seed is also valuable as it grows into a plant that can be used for various purposes in the game.
To maximize your chances of getting Mythical Gifts, you’ll need to focus on collecting and submitting high-rarity Christmas mutated plants. Consider using pets that help with mutations, like the Mistletoad which produces Chilled mutations for Coconut plants. The higher point requirement means you’ll need to be more strategic about which plants you submit.
Gold Gift: The Elite Tier
The Gold Gift is one of the most prestigious rewards in the Grow a Garden Christmas event, containing some of the rarest and most valuable items available during the holiday season.
Requirements:
- Points needed: 300

- Christmas Treat (8.33%)
- Mystical Snow Globe (8.33%)
- Eggnog Chick (8.33%)
- Christmas Cracker Seed (2.08%)
- Cocoa Cat (2.08%)
The Gold Gift contains some of the most exclusive items in the event, including the Mystical Snow Globe, the Christmas Cracker Seed, and the Cocoa Cat pet. The Cocoa Cat is particularly special as it has a unique ability where it goes to a Hot Chocolate Mug cosmetic every 4 minutes and naps near it for 15 seconds, causing new fruit within 15 studs to be 1.32x larger.
Given the high point requirement and low drop rate, Gold Gifts are quite challenging to obtain. You’ll need to focus on submitting the highest rarity Christmas mutated plants you can find. Consider using optimal garden layouts and mutation-enhancing pets to maximize your chances of getting the plants you need.
Rainbow Gift: The Ultimate Prize
The Rainbow Gift is the rarest and most coveted reward in the Grow a Garden Christmas event. With the lowest drop rate and highest point requirement, these gifts contain the most exclusive and powerful items available during the holiday season.
Requirements:
- Points needed: 450
- Drop rate: 2.63%
Contents and Drop Rates:
- Christmas Egg (34.48%)
- Christmas Treat (10.34%)
- Large Toy (10.34%)
- Mystical Snow Globe (10.34%)
- Levelup Lollipop (10.34%)
- Grandmaster Sprinkler (10.34%)
- Christmas Cracker (6.9%)
- Cocoa Cat (6.9%)
The Rainbow Gift contains the Grandmaster Sprinkler, which is one of the best gardening tools in the game. This item significantly improves your gardening efficiency and is highly sought after by dedicated players. The high chance of getting a Cocoa Cat (6.9% compared to 2.08% in Gold Gifts) also makes Rainbow Gifts extremely valuable.
Due to the extremely high point requirement and low drop rate, Rainbow Gifts are very difficult to obtain. To have a chance at getting these, you’ll need to:
- Focus exclusively on submitting the highest rarity plants (Divine, Prismatic, Transcendent)
- Use optimal garden layouts for maximum mutations
- Employ mutation-enhancing pets like Mistletoad and Frost Dragon
- Take advantage of the Samta’s Here weather event for additional gift opportunities
Maximizing Your Christmas Gift Rewards
To get the most out of the Grow a Garden Christmas event and maximize your gift collection, follow these strategies:
Best Plants for Christmas Mutations
Certain plants are better suited for Christmas mutations than others. Based on research from experienced players, here are the best options:
- Coconut: Produces the largest quantity of fruits, making it perfect for mass mutations
- Sugar Apple: Offers the highest quality, giving more points per mutated fruit
- Lilac/Rose: Excellent for Flower Frost Sprinkle mutations, perfect for Frozen mutations
Optimal Garden Layouts
Your garden layout can significantly impact your mutation success:
- Flower Density Layout: Fill your garden with lilacs or roses and place Flower Frost Sprinklers at the center of each flower cluster
- Coconut Focus Layout: Plant rows of Coconut trees with Pancakes near the bases to keep mutation-focused pets in the area
Pets That Enhance Christmas Mutations
Several pets can help you get more Christmas mutations:
- Mistletoad: Produces Chilled mutations for nearby plants (requires Pancakes)
- Frost Dragon: Converts Frozen mutations to Glacial mutations, granting extra XP
- T-Rex: Spreads mutations to adjacent plants, creating chain reactions
- 60kg Nightmare Mimic Octopus: Can mimic the abilities of other mutation pets
Timing Your Submissions
Since you have only 10 minutes to complete the points requirement for each gift, timing is crucial:
- Wait until you have enough high-rarity plants before starting a submission
- Submit plants during the Samta’s Here weather event for bonus opportunities
- Keep track of the 10-minute timer to avoid losing your progress
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the gifts get better the more you submit in a row?
