Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Grab your Santa hats and break out the tinsel because it’s Christmas time in Springfield! Yes the annual TSTO Christmas event has arrived in our pocket-sized towns, covering our usual perfect weather towns with a fresh blanket of bright, white, snow! Of course, by now, we all know that a new event means a new excuse for EA to fill our stores with returning limited-time premium items to tempt us.
As we all know, that limited-time label can tempt us to grab everything in sight because it’ll be gone soon. But don’t sweat it! That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.
Wondering if you should add the North Pole Bundle, Festive Bundle, or Christmas Market Bundle to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding these bundled throwbacks to your town…
For each of these bundles, they are unique. Meaning you can only purchase them (entire bundle) once and they’ll disappear from your store.
Leaves stores January 2nd
Item: North Pole Bundle
Cost: 50 Donuts
Contains:
Earns: Reindeer earn 0.5% bonus each, Fancy Igloo earns 0.5% bonus each. So a total bonus % on cash and xp of 4% with this bundle.
My Opinion On It Now: Really not a bad price if you’re looking to create a fun Christmas area, plus the 4% bonus for 50 donuts spend is nice as well. (generally, 2% for 40 donuts we say is great). If you’re looking for the decorations I’d say pick this one up.
Leaves stores January 2nd
Item: Festive Bundle
Cost: 50 Donuts
Contains:
Earns: Duff Beer Tree 0.25% bonus each, so 1.25% bonus on bundle
My Opinion On It Now: A good price, and buy, if you’re looking to expand your Christmas design. I recommend this bundle.
Leaves stores January 2nd
Item: Christmas Market
Cost: 50 Donuts

Earns: Holiday Tree earns 0.75% bonus each, Outdoor Fireplace Earns 1% bonus each so 2.5% bonus total for the bundle. Ferris wheel also earns cash and xp (plus a task for Burns)
My Opinion On It Now: Not a bad price for what you get, but (to me) it’s short on Christmas decor. Most of the stuff is squidport only, and not limited for the holiday. Of the three bundles, I’d rank this last.
Overall, you honestly can’t go wrong with any of these bundles. Loads of Christmas Decor. I’d rank them: North Pole, Festive then Market in order of best buy.
