Abe’s in Toyland Mystery Box Breakdown: Winter Wonderland and Happy Holidays

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Another day, another event in Springfield as Christmas has fallen upon our pocket-sized towns! And it wouldn’t be an event without a Mystery Box, now would it?

Since the introduction of the Yearbook Mystery Box back in March, most of the event-specific boxes have become outdated. As many of the items are in the Yearbook box for much less.

However, with this event…more specifically the Winder Wonderland Mystery Box, that’s not necessarily true.  As EA has added new-old content to this box.  So let’s take a quick look at what’s inside both the Happy Holidays Box and the Winter Wonderland Box…

Let’s start with the Happy Holidays Box…because it’s a lot easier to cover.

For 60 donuts you’ll have your shot at one of the following character combos:

Jesus Christ and Heavenly Swing Set
Rigellian Christ and Manger
 Rabbi Krustofsky and Temple Beth Springfield
Brother Faith and Brother Faith Van
Shiva
Gautama Buddha
Pope and St. Paul’s Basilica

Is this box worth it?  Not really.  Every single item in the Happy Holidays Box is available in the Yearbook Mystery Box for half the price.  You’re, more than likely, better off getting these items through the Yearbook Box.

Now let’s jump to Winter Wonderland…

Another 60 donut box.  However, you may also use a Winter Wonderland Token to unlock this box…exclusively available via the Abe’s in Toyland prize tracks.

For each Act, you’ll have the chance to unlock TWO Winter Wonderland Tokens.  So there will be 8 total for this event.

Another note on the Winter Wonderland Box….EA has added more content to it this year (I’ve marked what’s new to the box this year with NEW).  They’ve included items from last Christmas in this box.  So if you missed out on premium combos last Christmas, now you can grab them with your Winter Wonderland Tokens.

Also, a decent number of these items are NOT available in the Yearbook Mystery Box.  Making this box worth taking a chance on.

Here’s what you’ll have a shot at getting:

So, even if you purchased everything from the Yearbook Box…there’s still some decent premium content in there that you can get for Tokens. That’s not to bad.  (Although I still wish there was some NEW Christmas content in there…for those of us that have it all.  Even if that new content was Christmas trees, or other festive decorations) 

And a quick note on the Prize Track Winter Wonderland Tokens…

If, and only if, you have EVERYTHING from the Winter Wonderland Box…you can convert the tokens to donuts.  You will not see the option to convert tokens to donuts if you still have items in that Winter Wonderland Box. So, if there’s something in there that you don’t want…you’re kind of SOL on converting to donuts.  You’ll still have to get it to unlock the option for donut conversion.

So once you’ve cleared that Winter Wonderland Box, and it’s completely removed from your store, it will be replaced with the option to Exchange Mystery Box Tokens for Donuts…

1 Token + 12 donuts…

And that’s it my friends, the details on the 2019 Christmas Mystery Boxes.
