Animal Crossing: New Horizons winter Snowflake DIY recipe guide

Winter: Animal Crossing – New HorizonsYou will discover special Snowflakes on your island that you can craft with. However, to make DIYs with them, you’ll need to shoot down recipes from balloons. This is our Animal Crossing – New HorizonsThis guide will show you how to capture snowflakes, and it also includes all Snowflake-related DIY recipes.

How to Get Snowflakes

The Snowflakes are free to float in the air between December and February in the Northern Hemisphere. They will also float in the Southern Hemisphere from June through August. Your bug net can be used to capture them from the air. Listen carefully and you will hear Snowflakes nearby making a twinkling sound.

The winter recipes must be fired from the balloon with a slingshot, just like the other seasonal dishes. These recipes will only spawn during the winter, so if you miss out on them, you’ll have to time travel, or ask your buddies for help.
