Wait, apparently this event requires a Nintendo Account. Dang, the previous events didn't and I don't feel like making an account

I am loving the winter aspect present on the island now: snow, snowflakes, knit hats, sweaters and coats, but I was really looking forward to making snowmen. Weirdly, after multiple days of checking I have not come across any snowballs. I wonder if it's because between furniture, trees, and flowers I don't have much plain grassy area left? If that's the case, I may be missing out on the DIYs the snowmen are supposed to give you.  Anyone else have this problem? (I'm not trying to make a zombie thread, promise, I just thought it'd be better to use this one since it's still on the first page rather than making a new one. Hope it's ok.)

Yeeah I think there might be some issues with snowballs having enough room to spawn. :/ For the first couple days I could only get them to spawn in one spot, so I cleared off an area where my pumpkins were and boom new snowballs.
So far I've only gotten Snowboys (not sure if the rest of the family is here anymore...). They seem to take quite a while to melt too.

Re: Snowboys, the third method I've seen bandied about is for smaller "perfect" snowboys and it works well if you're good at ticking like a metronome... make the "big" ball by rolling for exactly 17 seconds, make the "small" ball by rolling for exactly 12 seconds, push small onto large on the 13th second. Kicking doesn't count at all, only pushing so if you mess up the counting you can roll it on pavements until it is kick size again.
I'm glad other people are starting to "get it", I keep forgetting that this a lot of people's first Animal Crossing game and there's a natural tendency to want to make the head much smaller than the body part, but the proportions that the game demands for perfection are much more tight than that.
Again, there's tons of resources on this online and as long as your game isn't autosaving at the moment you goof, you can always reset the game and try again! Heck, if you're rolling it and you think you messed up, you can even just push the ball you're rolling over a path or the plaza until it is small again (or destroy it in water or a tree or something and wait for a respawn).

Is there a way to get lights on the trees? I was replaying the Gamecube game a while back and I remembered why I loved December in AC so much. The lights are so nostalgic.

It happens automatically on the 15th (today), but you must have fully grown Cedar Trees. Number of trees that are lit are proportionate to about half of number of adult Cedars you have. Not sure if there's a cap, just something I noticed between my two islands.
Important: moving trees with fruit and shovel causes loss of decoration.
