Grow a Garden Christmas Update: Surprise Gift, 7 New Pets, Seed Pack, and More!

A massive Christmas event is almost here in Grow a Garden, and the first part already confirms new seeds, new pets, a unique openable gift, cosmetics, gears, and even a brand-new season pass. This update introduces several new mechanics and looks bigger than the Safari update. Here is a full breakdown of everything that has been leaked so far, based on testing servers and recent developer info. Also check out our Grow a Garden Codes for more rewards!

Huge Surprise Gift With 10 Rewards

Players will be able to open a brand-new item called Santa’s Surprise Present. It comes in two versions: a normal one and an exotic one that can be bought with Robux. What makes this special is its content: 10 total rewards in one item — five pets and five seeds. Leaked pets inside include:

• A bird pet
• A gorilla-like pet
• A vampire-style monkey
• A frog
• A dog that might be the rarest pull

On the bottom of the image, five seeds are visible. One of the items shown looks like a tiny wrapped present; leaks suggest this is actually a seed, likely the rarest in the box.

The First Transcendent Christmas Seed

The most valuable leak is the Peppermint Vine, a transcendent limited seed. Unlike event-exclusive seeds usually locked behind shops, this one is expected to appear directly in the Seed Shop for the whole 3-part Christmas update. Its leaked price is 1,627 Robux, making it more expensive than Octobloom, hinting that it could become the new best seed in the game. Another seed, Pollen Cone Elite, is also confirmed. While its stats aren’t leaked yet, it is likely available in the event shop.

New Seed Pack: Holiday Seed Pack

A new seed pack will include several unreleased event seeds, most likely Christmas-themed plants that are already present in game data but not obtainable. Expect 6 seeds in the pack, matching the format of previous packs.

7 New Pets Confirmed

Two standalone pets are confirmed:

• Penguin
• Gift Mouse

The other five will be from Santa’s Surprise Present. Their abilities are not leaked yet, but more info is expected soon. These pets may become major trading items, especially if some come with powerful passives.

Four Event Mechanics Confirmed

The test server reveals that the Christmas event consists of four main features:

1. Harvest Event Board, similar to Safari boxes
2. Advent Calendar that requires completing a daily quest
3. Winter Tree, which gives presents with a cooldown
4. Holiday Shop with items, seeds, cosmetics, and gears

Some shop items may be locked behind community goals, just like previous events.

Winter Season Pass Returns

The current pass is ending, and the next one will be fully Christmas-themed. Best of all, players can now buy the premium pass using Trading Tokens, not just Robux. Expect new limited pets and items that may only be available this season.

Event Cosmetics and Collectibles

Leaked cosmetics and statues include:

• Penguin statue
• Gift basket
• Yule log
• Christmas present cosmetic
• Two new cosmetic crates: Holiday Crate and Christmas Crate

These are likely shop items or milestone rewards.

New Gears and a Huge Future Gear Leak

Confirmed new gears:

• Christmas Firework
• Hyper Hunger Pet Shard (likely boosts XP with heavy hunger cost)
• Santa Stocking (function not revealed yet)

Leaked but possibly not releasing yet:

• Snowball gear
• Sleigh gear
• Gingerbread Man gear (similar to Headless Horseman, gives random rare mutation)

If Gingerbread gear is added in later parts, it could become the strongest pet passive item in the game.

Advent Calendar Details

The Advent calendar requires completing a quest each day. Players can skip quests with Robux or tokens. There is also a paid option to recover missed days, meaning rewards won’t be locked forever for players who skip.

Part one of the Christmas event won’t just be cosmetic — it brings strong seeds, new mechanics, event shops, harvest content, daily quests, and a surprise gift that might reshape trading and farming. As more leaks drop, pet abilities and exact pass rewards will decide the real value of this update.

Get ready for: The Peppermint Vine meta, One of the most valuable seed packs ever, A huge trading shake-up with surprise pets, and And a season pass worth grinding for! Stay prepared, stock your shekels, and get ready to farm through the winter season in Grow a Garden.
