As the Awakened White Lily update approaches later this October, many players are already looking beyond it—toward what’s next for Cookie Run: Kingdom in the final months of 2025. Developer teasers, live streams, and interviews have revealed some big plans, including the long-awaited arrival of Millennial Tree Cookie, a new Crystal Jam, and story developments that will shape the future of the Beasties arc. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s coming for the rest of the year.
Millennial Tree Cookie Release Window
According to developer interviews and community reports, Millennial Tree Cookie is set to arrive in December 2025. Many players expected him to appear earlier—before Silent Salt—but recent updates have confirmed that his debut will close out the year instead.
Millennial Tree will play a major role in the ongoing story, connecting the final events of the Beasties Arc and setting the stage for the massive 5th Anniversary Update in 2026, which will introduce Dark Enchantress Cookie.
While details about Millennial Tree’s class and skill set are still under wraps, a recent developer Q&A hinted that his powers will likely align with nature or ancient elements, fitting his lore as a guardian of life and balance. More details are expected to be shared in an upcoming subtitled interview with the PD (producer-director).
December 2025 Updates: Crystal Jam & Wind Archer

Alongside Millennial Tree, December will also bring the final Crystal Jam Cookie of 2025 — Wind Archer. This Legendary Cookie will release together with the last Crystal Jam feature update of the year. After that, the next Crystal Jam (for Fire Spirit) is planned for 2026, tying directly into the next major anniversary update.
November Update: Beast Cookies and Dark Enchantress Prelude
Before December’s big release, players can expect a November update featuring a special story event. All of the Beast Cookies will gather at a mysterious hotel to meet Dark Enchantress Cookie for the first time. This event will act as a narrative bridge, connecting White Lily and Silent Salt’s stories to the upcoming final chapter of the Beasties arc.
While it’s technically a smaller update, it’s far from filler—this will be the first time the main villains of the Beast arc appear together, likely teasing the conflicts that will unfold in 2026.
Tower Defense Game Mode
A brand-new Tower Defense mini-game is also coming soon, as confirmed in the recent livestream. Players will defend stages using Cookie units, earning rewards for clearing waves of enemies. This mode is expected to go live shortly after the Awakened White Lily update, adding a new layer of gameplay variety to the Kingdom experience.
Carry-Over Details & Resource Tips
Players worried about Beast Raid coins can rest easy—coins will carry over to the next season after the update. However, it’s still wise to spend your existing raid currency before the shop resets, as item rotations will change. Make sure to buy out limited-time items like Radiant Biscuits and tickets while you can, especially before new master modes launch.
The rest of 2025 looks packed with exciting content for Cookie Run: Kingdom. From White Lily Awakened in October, to the Beast Cookies’ hotel event in November, and the Millennial Tree & Wind Archer update in December, the game is clearly building up to a grand finale for the Beasties arc.
Fans have plenty to look forward to—not only the gameplay and story updates, but also the long-awaited arrival of one of the most mysterious cookies in CRK history. Get ready, save your resources, and prepare for an unforgettable end to 2025.
