The Christmas Event in Grow a Garden just got better with new gifts dropping every week. This time, it brings some exciting new gifts for everyone to grab. We now have five different gift tiers, all packed with unique rewards. In this guide, I’ll break down all the Christmas Gifts in Grow a Garden that you can get right now.
How to Get Christmas Gifts in Grow a Garden
You’ve got two main ways to earn Christmas gifts during the event. Let me break down both methods so you can maximize your rewards:
Method 1: Submit Christmas Mutated Plants
Head to the center of the Grow a Garden lobby and look for the Christmas event area. You’ll see Tinsel the Elf NPC standing there. That’s where you need to submit your plants. Here’s how the submission system works:
- Go to Tinsel the Elf with Christmas mutated plants in your inventory.
- You will get two options. Press E to submit all your plants at once, or press F to submit them one by one. Most players just hit E to speed things up.
As you submit, you’ll see a progress bar fill up. Different fruit rarities give you different point values, and you need to hit 100% to earn the gift that’s currently displayed. Here’s exactly how many points each rarity gives you:
| Fruit Rarity | 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
This method is more passive but still really useful. Every so often, the “Samta’s Here” weather event kicks in. When it does, Santa flies around the lobby and randomly drops presents all over the place.
The event only lasts 10 minutes, so you need to act fast. When you spot a present on the ground, run over and press E to open it. Inside, you’ll find a random Christmas gift from any of the five tiers. It’s pure luck what tier you get.
Try to stay active during the event and grab as many presents as possible. Since Santa drops them randomly, you’ll want to cover as much ground as you can in those 10 minutes. Keep an eye on the weather indicator at the bottom of your screen so you know when Santa’s coming.
All Christmas Gifts in Grow a Garden
Let me walk you through each gift type and what you can expect to find inside them. Each gift costs a different number of Christmas mutated plants to unlock, and the rewards get better as you move up the tiers:
1. Common Gifts
The Common Gift has a 52.6% spawn chance, which means you’ll see it more than any other gift. You need to submit 120 Christmas mutated plants to claim it.
| Item Name | Drop Rate |
|---|---|
| 3x Common Coal | 17.6% |
| 10x Event Lantern | 17.6% |
| 10x Watering Can | 17.6% |
| 2x Snow Shovel | 17.6% |
| Peppermint Pop | 17.6% |
| Christmas Egg | 11.8% |
The drops are pretty balanced here. You’ve got equal chances for most items, with the Christmas Egg being slightly rarer. This gift is perfect when you’re just starting your streak and don’t have many mutated plants saved up yet.

5. Rainbow Gift
This is the big one. Rainbow Gifts have the lowest spawn rate at just 2.6%, and they’ll cost you 500 Christmas mutated plants to claim. You need to save up big time for this gift, but it can be worth it.
| Item Name | Drop Rate |
|---|---|
| Christmas Egg | 34.5% |
| Christmas Treat | 10.3% |
| Large Toy | 10.3% |
| Mystical Snow Globe | 10.3% |
| Levelup Lollipop | 10.3% |

Don’t stress too much about getting perfect drops. Even the worse items from higher-tier gifts are usually better than the best items from lower tiers. Plus, don’t forget to keep track of the weather timer. If you know Samta’s Here is about to start, hang around the lobby instead of being deep in your garden. Those free presents from Santa can add up quickly! Merry Christmas!
