Editing Jingle

{{Quote|Happy holidays! I'm Jingle, the black-nosed reindeer!|Jingle|{{SER}}}}

'''Jingle''' is a [[reindeer]] in the {{SER}} who is the host of [[Toy Day]]. He delivers presents to villagers and players on the night of [[December]] 24.  

 

Jingle's role is analogous to {{Wp|Santa Claus}}, a character associated with {{Wp|Christmas}}, the real-world holiday Toy Day is based on. However, Santa is an [[List of implied characters#Santa Claus|unseen character]] separate from Jingle who is mentioned by Jingle and villagers. Jingle's name is likely derived from a {{Wp|jingle bell}}, a percussion instrument commonly associated with the holiday season.

 

 

Jingle is a lover of Toy Day, explaining why he hosts the event near the end of December.

In every [[First generation|first-generation ''Animal Crossing'' game]], Jingle can be found wandering around [[town]] starting at 8 PM on December 24 during an unnamed event (referred to as "Jingle Comes to Town" in the official guide, known in later games as [[Toy Day]]). When spoken to, he asks the player which type of gift they would like (furniture, wallpaper, carpet, or clothing), and then gives them a corresponding item from the [[Jingle Series]] (or the {{I|Jingle shirt|PG}}). He tells the player that he only gives one gift to everyone, but if the player changes clothing and speaks to him again, he is tricked into thinking they are a different person and gives them another present. Up to ten items can be received from Jingle before he catches on and refuses to give the player any more presents. On the next day, December 25, Jingle sends the player a letter containing {{I|Balloon Fight|PG}} if they received at least one gift from him the previous night and were playing when the clock hit midnight.

After being absent in {{WW}}, Jingle makes a return in {{CF}}. Similar to {{PG}}, Jingle can be found wandering around town starting at 8 PM on Toy Day (December 24) to midnight. During this time, he may also be found inside other [[villager]]s' [[Villager house|houses]], but only in the ones with their lights off (meaning they are outside). This is the only time in the game the player can visit a villager's house without the animal having to be inside. In one of the homes, Jingle will be inside dropping off presents. Upon talking to him, he will offer players a present, either one they can "lean on" or one they can "walk on," with further options of "huge things." These simply mean wallpaper "(lean on)," carpet "(walk on)," and furniture "(huge things)," specifically furniture from the Jingle Series. As in ''Animal Crossing'', he will give only one present per person, but there is a way to obtain more furniture, as mentioned below:

{{I|Jingle's poster|NH}} can be obtained from [[Nook Shopping]] after inviting him to [[Harv's Island|Photopia]] via his [[amiibo]] card.

''Hey there! I'm <span style="color:#F28903;">Jingle</span>.  And you must be <span style="color:#2ECC71;">Player</span>? What can I do for you?''<br>

''You want me to... go <span style="color:#22ABBD;">campsite</span>? Aww, I don't know what that is, but it sounds pretty fun.''<br>

''But I'm afraid that I can't right now. This little reindeer has a lot of work to handle behind the scenes.''<br>

''I hope to see you on the next Toy Day though. It's gonna be magical!''

Jingle appears for a seasonal [[garden event]] around Toy Day. Rather than Jingle directly giving a present, a Stuffed Stocking is found in the player's mailbox and is assumed to have been sent by Jingle.
