'''Winter''' in the {{SER}} is a season that starts on [[November]] 26 and ends on [[February]] 24. In the Southern Hemisphere in {{NH|short|nolink}}, winter starts on [[May]] 26 and ends on [[August]] 24.

The [[weather]] of winter consists mainly of snowy, cloudy days. Snow may fall as soon as late November / May, but will not settle until December 11 / June 11 (December 10 in {{PG|nolink}}). With the settling of the snow, snowballs can be found dotted around the town. These can be rolled up and joined together to make snowmen, or to discover and catch a [[Dung Beetle]]. Because of the cold setting, winter has the least amount of critters to catch.

During December, all existing [[tree|cedar trees]] will be decorated with flashing lights, which alternate between blue, green and red. Any new cedars planted will lack the lights, and after the first week of the year, all lights will disappear. In the Northern Hemisphere, a huge frequency of snowy weather will around [[Toy Day]]. [[Aurora (phenomenon)|Auroras]] can also form during clear winter nights.

Throughout winter in {{NH|short|nolink}}, the player has the opportunity to catch {{I|Snowflake|New Horizons}}s and receive {{I|Large Snowflake|New Horizons}}s from [[Snowboy]]s. Additionally for the Northern Hemisphere, from December 15 to January 6, any [[tree|cedar trees]] with light will, when shaken, produce {{I|Red Ornament|New Horizons|text=Red}}, {{I|Blue Ornament|New Horizons|Blue}}, and {{I|Gold Ornament|New Horizons}}s for DIY projects.

==Events==
Below is a list of events during winter, what happens during each, in which game, and when. Note that [[hemisphere]]s are only accounted for in {{NH|short}}.
