Hey All You Merry Grumples! 😛
So EA has tossed in a lil daily fun into our games to be had in the form of the Elf Tunnels aka Santa Daily Tasks.
Each day you will be given a list of tasks to complete. You have plenty of time to complete them, but to add to it EA has offered a BONUS of 100 Gifts if you complete them within 24hrs of starting the FIRST task of that Tunnel Day.

So now I am sure you are asking the question “WHO will help me with these tasks? What Character(s) will complete them so I can have them ready?” There are a few ways to find out…
Character Locator: You can go through each character seeing what ones have a task up top in yellow. Just make sure you pick the right one for Santa’s Tasks if there is more than one. 
Do It: You can use the tasks themselves “Do It” option to take you to a character that will complete the task. Tasks available in yellow. Just make sure you pick the right one for Santa’s Tasks if there is more than one. 
Or you can utilize the list below with the help of either option above or the Town Hall Census…

You have plenty of time for these tasks. The 24 hour timer starts as soon as you being the first task. You can still complete the tasks past the 24 hour time, but you will NOT get the bonus 100 Gifts. So I suggest plan ahead to hit the timer BEFORE 24 hrs if you need those Extra Bonus 100 Gifts Each day.
There you have it. A general idea of what to anticipate for the Elf Tunnel Santa Daily Tasks. Have YOU completed any yet? Get the Bonus? What do you think of it all so far? Like the gifts? Let us know below.

Why no love for Mindy?
She never gets on any of the groups! (I know she’s not the only female in this situation, but she was one of the free ones.)
She could technically be added under GLUTTON, even though she seems to have quite the efficient metabolism. Her “signature” move after a task is stuffing her face with a doughnut, even!
Santa Daily Tasks, Elf Tunnels 13, I was supposed to get the Christmas Crazy Cat House, however after completing Elf Tunnels Task 13 Prize shows its in my Inventory but locked can’t access, any idea’s why?
It isn’t the house. As it states, it is the Decorations for her house. Like a skin or a costume. You still have to purchase her house in order to be able to put the decorations on it.
Did you purchase the Crazy Cat Lady? You have to have the house for the lights to go on otherwise the decorations will sit in your inventory.
Loving this phase of the game! I have put a budget on my real money to purchase donuts. Missed the guitar store by one day! Love having FEDS IN town, love kicking them out more! LOL
I was given Willie’s Shack Decorations instead of the Elf Home. So I will never get the Elf home?
It may come back around.
