New Year's Day is a special event held in the first day in January. It has appeared in every title to date since Animal Crossing. What actually happens, however, varies. In New Year's Eve, there is a countdown leading to this day.

In Animal Crossing

The player receives 10 Bells from Mom in the mail. At 9:10 p.m., they can also go to the well to make a New Year's wish. In the plaza, Tortimer can give a rare item to the player, and Tom Nook is selling mystery bags for 2 Bells.

In Animal Crossing: Wild World

The player can speak to Tortimer in this day to receive a random fortune. Tortimer can be spoken to multiple times for different fortunes.

Tortimer greeting the player in City Folk

Tortimer gives the player a New Year's shirt, and the player will also receive 1 bell from Mom.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf

The player's mom sends a gift with 10 Bells attached, although if the player does not play on New Years Day, they do not get the 10 Bells. A special cutout is available in the Event Plaza, and Isabelle will also be present there.

When Isabelle is spoken to, she gives a gift, which is an animal based off the Chinese zodiac of the current year. They act as furniture and can be displayed in the player's house. All zodiac animals have the Harmonious interior theme, sell for 12 Bells at Re-Tail, and, except for the zodiac boar, are only obtainable from the event.
