Real-world information

The winter solstice occurs when the tilt of a planet's semi-axis, in either the northern or the southern hemisphere, is most inclined away from the star (sun) that it orbits. This happens twice each year, at which times the sun reaches its lowest position in the sky as seen from the north or the south pole. However, what is seen in New Leaf is actually known in the real world as a "polar night", in which the sun is not visible for more than 24 hours, which occurs in the arctic or antarctic circle, during the days near the winter solstice.

Notes

  1. In City Folk only
  2. In New Leaf only
  3. Prior to version 1.6.0, the Midwinter Sweater (then known as the Winter-Solstice Sweater) was available from June 7 to July 6 in both hemispheres.
