Jingle (ジングル) is a reindeer character in the Animal Crossing series. He appears once a year on Christmas Eve for Toy Day, a made-up event in Animal Crossing in-place of Christmas. He delivers presents, thought to be on behalf of Santa Claus, but he is never seen handing over any presents to other villagers. He is the only way to obtain items from the Jingle Series. His mouth is on the left side of his face.

Return

Like other special holiday related characters, Jingle only appears in Animal Crossing and Animal Crossing: City Folk. This is because no real-life holiday events appeared in Animal Crossing: Wild World such as Christmas or Halloween. Jack and Franklin are two other special characters who did not make an appearance in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

In Animal Crossing, Jingle can be found wandering around town starting at 8 PM on Christmas Eve (24^th December). He needs to be approached three times to receive an item of his series, also asking presents 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 as listed below:

More Presents

To receive more presents from Jingle, the player 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 you're another, different, character. However, doing this for long enough will make him realize you're the same character, though he will not ask for the furniture back and will simply laugh.

City Folk

Jingle will only go into houses when the occupants are outside

In Animal Crossing: City Folk, Jingle can be found wandering around town starting at 8 PM on Christmas Eve (24^th December). 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 them having to be inside. In one of the homes, Jingle will be inside dropping off presents. Upon talking to him, he will offer the player 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), specfically furniture from the Jingle Series. Like in Animal Crossing, he will only give one present per person, but there is a way to obtain more furniture, as mentioned below:

More Presents

To receive more presents from Jingle, the player only needs to change their face accessory instead of a shirt to obtain more items of the Jingle Series.

Jingle Series

Jingle gives a complete set of furniture, which the Happy Room Academy rate very highly.

• Jingle Wallpaper
• Jingle Carpet
• Jingle Shirt
• Jingle Dresser
• Jingle Piano
• Jingle Bed
• Jingle Table
• Jingle Chair
• Jingle Lamp
• Jingle Wardrobe
• Jingle Shelves
• Jingle Sofa
• Jingle Clock

All the furniture is red, white, and green, resembling Jingle's attire. The Jingle Shirt is not a part of the exchange in City Folk, 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.
