'''Jingle''' is a [[reindeer]] in the {{SER}}. He appears once a year on [[Toy Day]], a made-up event in ''Animal Crossing'' in place of Christmas Eve. He delivers presents, thought to be on behalf of Santa Claus, but he is never seen handing over any presents to other [[villager]]s. He is the only way to obtain items from the [[Jingle Series]] in {{DnM}}, {{DnM+}}, {{PG}}, {{DnMe+}} and {{CF}}. But in {{NL}}, he will give the player a Festive wreath, since Jingle furniture, Jingle flooring and Jingle wallpaper can be obtained at [[Timmy and Tommy's store]] from December 1<sup>st</sup> to December 23<sup>rd</sup>.

'''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.

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.

Jingle first appears in {{DnM}}, as well as its GameCube port {{PG}}. Jingle can be found wandering around town starting at 8 PM on December 24<sup>th</sup>, on an unnamed event in which doesn't appear in the [[Diaries & Journals|Diary]]'s calendar. He needs to be approached three times to receive an item of his series, also asking questions to determine what item the player receives such as flooring, wallpaper and furniture all from the Jingle Series. He only gives out one present per villager, but there is a way to receive more.
 
  
To receive more presents from Jingle, players must change their shirt each time they receive a new item of clothing. They must change their shirt away from Jingle so he does not see them. He will assume they are a different character. However, doing this for long enough makes him realize they are the same character, though he simply laughs and does not ask for the furniture back.

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:
  
==={{CF}}===
+
To receive more presents from Jingle, players need to change only their face accessory (hats, helmets, and [[flower]]s also work) instead of a shirt to obtain more items of the Jingle Series. But, Jingle will hand out duplicate items, so this will have to be repeated many times before the full set is obtained. Jingle's will only remember the last 8 disguises, after which the player can receive new presents by wearing ones they wore earlier in the night.

In {{NL}}, Jingle can be found wandering around town starting at 6 PM on Toy Day (December 24). From December 1 to December 24, the [[Able Sisters]] and [[Kicks (shop)|Kicks]] sell Santa clothes and accessories. To get a gift from Jingle, the player must dress as him and give presents to the residents. The required outfit consists of the Santa Hat, Beard, Coat, Pants, and Boots.
  
==={{NL}}===

If players are wearing a full set of Santa clothes, they can help Jingle deliver presents to the residents. Before Toy Day, the villagers might randomly tell them what they want for Toy Day. This can be furniture, [[fruit]], a shirt, an [[umbrella]], wallpaper, or carpet. Each villager will give the player a maximum of two clues: one describing the type of item, and the other describing the color.

Prior to its removal in version {{NHVer|2.0}}, when the player scans Jingle's amiibo card and tries to invite him, he will say:
  
When players finish, they receive a Festive Wreath. If all presents are delivered correctly, the player receives Jingle's picture by mail the next day.
+
<blockquote>
 +
''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!''

All the furniture is red, white, and green, resembling Jingle's attire. The Jingle Shirt is not a part of the exchange in {{CF|short|nolink}}, but can be bought from the [[Able Sisters]]. It is like any other shirt, so once it is available it won't appear again for a while. Buying a Festive hat, Jingle shirt and the King's beard will complete a Santa Claus [[look]].

Jingle is a reindeer in the Animal Crossing series 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 Santa Claus, a character associated with Christmas, the real-world holiday Toy Day is based on. However, Santa is an unseen character separate from Jingle who is mentioned by Jingle and villagers. Jingle's name is likely derived from a jingle bell, a percussion instrument commonly associated with the holiday season.

Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Artwork of Jingle from Doubutsu no Mori.

Jingle is a brown reindeer with pink inner ears, blue eyes with white pupils shaped like diamond stars, dark-brown eyebrows, red inner mouth, and a big black oval nose. His big and long horns and hands are light-yellow. He wears a Santa Claus hat, a Santa Claus shirt, a black belt with a brownish-yellow buckle around his torso, and a pair of black boots with brown forefoot bottoms.

Personality[edit]

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

Appearances[edit]

In Animal Crossing[edit]

Further information: Toy Day § First-generation Animal Crossing.
Artwork of Jingle from Animal Crossing.

In every 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 Jingle shirt). 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 Balloon Fight if they received at least one gift from him the previous night and were playing when the clock hit midnight.

In City Folk[edit]

Artwork of Jingle from City Folk.

After being absent in Animal Crossing: Wild World, Jingle makes a return in Animal Crossing: City Folk. Similar to Animal Crossing, 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 villagers' 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:

To receive more presents from Jingle, players need to change only their face accessory (hats, helmets, and flowers also work) instead of a shirt to obtain more items of the Jingle Series. But, Jingle will hand out duplicate items, so this will have to be repeated many times before the full set is obtained. Jingle's will only remember the last 8 disguises, after which the player can receive new presents by wearing ones they wore earlier in the night.

In New Leaf[edit]

Artwork of Jingle from New Leaf.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Jingle can be found wandering around town starting at 6 PM on Toy Day (December 24). From December 1 to December 24, the Able Sisters and Kicks sell Santa clothes and accessories. To get a gift from Jingle, the player must dress as him and give presents to the residents. The required outfit consists of the Santa Hat, Beard, Coat, Pants, and Boots.

If players are wearing a full set of Santa clothes, they can help Jingle deliver presents to the residents. Before Toy Day, the villagers might randomly tell them what they want for Toy Day. This can be furniture, fruit, a shirt, an umbrella, wallpaper, or carpet. Each villager will give the player a maximum of two clues: one describing the type of item, and the other describing the color.

When the player finishes, they receive a Festive Wreath from Jingle. If all presents are delivered correctly, Jingle sends them Jingle's Pic in the mail the following day.

In New Horizons[edit]

Jingle introducing himself to the player in New Horizons.

While initially absent from Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Jingle was added alongside Toy Day in the Free Winter Update. He returns as the host of the event.[1]

Jingle's poster can be obtained from Nook Shopping after inviting him to Photopia via his amiibo card.

Prior to its removal in version 2.0, when the player scans Jingle's amiibo card and tries to invite him, he will say:

Hey there! I'm Jingle. And you must be Player? What can I do for you?
You want me to... go campsite? Aww, I don't know what that is, but it sounds pretty fun.
But I'm afraid that I can't right now. This little reindeer has a lot of work to handle behind the scenes.
I hope to see you on the next Toy Day though. It's gonna be magical!

Jingle's photo was the first photo of a special character in New Horizons, and can be obtained from the Toy Day stockings.

In Pocket Camp[edit]

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.

Other appearances[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U[edit]

Jingle appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
