New Year's Day
Template:Event Infobox New Year's Day is a special event held in the first day in January. It has appeared in every Animal Crossing series to date. What actually happens, however, varies. In New Year's Eve, there is a countdown leading to this day.
Animal Crossing
The player can receive 10,000 bells from Mom in the mail. At 9:00 a.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 2,000 bells.
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.
Animal Crossing: City Folk
Tortimer gives the player a New Year's shirt, and the player also can receive 1,000 bells from Mom.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
The player's mom sends a gift with 10,000 bells attached. Also, if the player greets Isabelle in the city plaza, Isabelle gives a gift, which is an animal based off the Chinese zodiac. These act as furniture and can be displayed in the player's house.
