Disney Dreamlight Valley’s 2024 Gift of Giving event is here, bringing back beloved traditions and new delights. Among the returning favorites are the Festive Fish, limited-time aquatic creatures only available during this annual holiday event. Locating these elusive fish can be a challenge, but this guide will help you find them all before they disappear for another year.
The Gift of Giving event runs from December 18th to December 31st. During this time, five unique Festive Fish will appear in different biomes throughout the Valley. Identifying them is easy thanks to their distinctive red and green ripples in the water. Don’t delay, as you only have a limited time to catch these festive critters!
Festive Fish Locations and Availability
Each Festive Fish can only be caught once per game, adding to their rarity. If you caught them in previous years, they won’t reappear. To check which ones you’ve already caught, consult your Collection tab in the Journal. Grayed-out entries indicate uncaught fish, while colored entries signify those you’ve already obtained. Here’s a breakdown of where to find each Festive Fish:
- Festive Anglerfish: Forgotten Lands (night only)
- Festive Bass: Peaceful Meadow
- Festive Fugu: Dazzle Beach
- Festive Salmon: Sunlit Plateau
- Festive Squid: Glade of Trust
DDV Festive Fish Red and Green RipplesFestive fish are easily identified by their unique red and green ripples in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
With the exception of the Festive Anglerfish, which only appears at night, the other Festive Fish have no specific time-of-day requirements. The red and green ripples should appear frequently in their designated biomes. If you don’t see these ripples, it’s likely you’ve already caught that particular fish in a previous year’s event.
Uses for Festive Fish
Once caught, you might wonder about the purpose of these Festive Fish beyond their charming Santa hats. Primarily, they contribute to completing the “Even Fish Are Festive!” seasonal Dreamlight Duty, rewarding you with a Santa Hat avatar item. They also fill out your Fishing Collection in the Journal.

Furthermore, Festive Fish can be used in recipes just like their regular counterparts. However, due to their rarity, many players prefer to store them safely in locations like the Dream Castle’s storage room to prevent accidental use. Ultimately, beyond their collectible value and holiday spirit, Festive Fish function similarly to any other fish you’d catch in the Valley.
Conclusion
Catching all the Festive Fish in Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Gift of Giving event adds a touch of holiday magic to your gameplay. This guide provides the essential information to locate these limited-time catches, complete seasonal Dreamlight Duties, and enhance your in-game collection. Remember to act fast, as these festive fish will only be around for a short time!
