Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Snow is falling in Springfield and we’ve got ourselves a Springfield Winter Wonderland!
Santa has decided to take advantage of Springfield’s great tax incentives..and bring his Workshop to town and everyone’s getting in on the toy making action! Various characters have toy making tasks at Santa’s Workshop…tasks that will help you earn even more presents!
Remember presents are the current currency for TSTO Christmas to help you unlock the part 1 prizes! So the more presents you have, the more prizes you’ll unlock! (For a guide on how many presents you should have at each day to win all the prizes check out Bunny’s Calendar!)
So let’s take a look at what characters have gift earning tasks, inside the workshop, to help you get more gifts!
Various characters unlock at different points in game play. The key to it all? Santa’s Daily tasks! As you may have noticed already…as you go through more days of Santa’s Daily tasks various characters will unlock the ability to make toys as well!
Every time you unlock a new task for a character you’ll see a message like this pop-up:
So who has tasks at the Workshop? When do they unlock? Let’s take a look….
Initially only Homer and Lisa have tasks there…
BOTH of these tasks start after you complete Jingle Bell Wreck Pt. 2
Homer
