FarmVille New Winter Holiday Items: Dancing Snow Lady, Winter Cafe, Candy Cane Cow & Much More

In tonight's FarmVille update, Zynga has expanded the Winter Holiday theme by leaps and bounds, adding a new series of animals, buildings and decorations to the game's store. Some of these items we've seen coming via Sneak Peeks, while other are brand new.

Meet us behind the break for a complete look at these new items.

First, the animals. There are two new animals available to purchase, and they come in the form of the Snow Goose and the Candy Cane Cow. Both are premium items, meaning that you can purchase them either for your own farm, or you can make them an early holiday present by sending them to a friend. The Snow Goose costs 16 Farm Cash and can be harvested every 2 days, while the Candy Cane Cow can be harvested once per day and can be purchased for 24 Farm Cash.

In terms of new buildings, there are also two new items to choose from. These buildings are the Toy Shop and the Winter Cafe. The Toy Shop is a premium item, available for 20 Farm Cash, while the Winter Cafe is available for 250,000 coins.

Finally, we come to the decorations, with five new items to choose from, three of which are premium. The first is the Dancing Snow Lady, a very animated snow woman that shakes her snow-hips to music only she can hear, and can be purchased for 20 Farm Cash. A Mrs. Claus Gnome and an Eggnog Fountain round out the premium options at 18 and 15 Farm Cash each, respectively.

The other two items are the Pink Holiday Tree, which is priced at 80,000 coins, and the Holiday Planter (full of three colors of Poinsettias) which costs 5,000 coins.

All of these items are marked with a time limit of 23 days from this writing, giving you plenty of time to not only purchase these fun decorations, but also have time to enjoy them before the holiday season ends.

New FarmVille Crop: Winter Holiday Poinsettia

If you decided to pass on the Candy Canes in FarmVille, but still want to grow a holiday-themed crop this December, you can now do so with the re-release of the limited edition Poinsettia crop in the game's store. Farmers that were playing the game last year will remember this crop from last year's Winter Holiday event.

Like last year, the Poinsettia can be grown for just 45 coins per square, and you'll gain 3 experience points for each square planted, which is actually a large number when compared to other crops. The Poinsettia grows for a full day and is then sold for 126 coins. It can be mastered, with the first star of mastery coming at 500 harvests.

If you did choose to purchase the Candy Cane permit in FarmVille, however, don't worry about running out of time to master this crop, as the Poinsettias will be available in the store until the end of January, giving you plenty of time to master both crops with little trouble.

FarmVille Gingerbread House: Everything you need to know

A new Winter Holiday building has been released in FarmVille, but unlike all of the others, this is actually a buildable project that can be completed with the help of friends.

What's the building, you ask? Why, it's the Gingerbread House, and we have everything you need to know about this new building behind the break.
The Gingerbread House project must be purchased from the game's store for 5,000 coins. This will give you a plain brown and white iced Gingerbread House, without any of the decorations you would expect from the finished product.

From there, you'll need to collect ingredients with friends in order to add these finishing touches to the house. You'll need to collect 18 each of Wooden Boards, Nails and Bricks, with one ingredient (most likely a Brick) being given to you automatically upon purchase of the base to get you started.

To collect the other ingredients, you can click on the "Ask for More" button underneath each of them to be taken to a reverse of the game's free gifts page, where you are shown the friends that currently have that particular item available to send, and you can then ask them specifically to send you that part.

Once you finish collecting all of one particular item, you'll be able to post a few extras to your wall for your friends to collect. If at any time you'd like to finish the building without waiting for your friends to help, you can do so by purchasing the remaining ingredients for Farm Cash at a rate of 1 Farm Cash per individual item. To be clear, that would be 18 Farm Cash to complete all of the bricks, as an example.

Once you have finished gathering the necessary parts, your Gingerbread House will expand into a much larger version of itself, and will become covered with bright candy pieces and other assorted goodies to make it truly look like a gingerbread house. As of this writing, it seems as though the Gingerbread House will serve no real purpose, other than being a decorative item, just like the Fun House released in the game during the Country Fair theme.

Many farmers chose not to build the Fun House due to its "decoration-only" status, but it will be interesting to see if the Gingerbread House faces equal boycotting since it is a Winter Holiday item, which should sit better with the community.
