Christmas 2012 Event

The Christmas Event was the second major event to take place in The Simpsons: Tapped Out and was initially released to players on December 5, 2012. It included new limited time content and added the ability to collect the limited time currency of Santa coins to purchase buildings and decorations. The event ended on January 10, 2013, yet the snow that covered the players Springfield at the start of the event stayed. It subsequently disappeared upon the release of the Valentine's Day Event on January 30, 2013, 20 days after the end of the Christmas Event.

Some of the new content included characters in reference to The Simpsons Christmas themed episodes, such as Funzos. With the new currency of Santa Coins, players could purchase new Christmas decorated façades for houses and other buildings. New decorated building façades were priced at 50 Santa Coins each, and when a building is using one of them, it would produce 5 Santa Coins every 24 hours. Upon using the buildings façade, it would only pay out 5 santa coins every 24 hours and not its regular payout. Some of the other new features and quests added in the event can be found below.

The Christmas Event was also one of the rare updates that Electronic Arts announced before its release. On Demember 3, 2012 they made a post on Facebook saying that a big update was coming soon with some holiday magic. Despite announcing the event beforehand, it was not until the next day, December 4, 2012, that they said the update would be coming on Demember 5. There will possibly be a 2nd (2013) Christmas Event.
