It’s the first holiday season for Disney Dreamlight Valley, and the new update adds many new festive fish that players can catch around the valley. Of course, they’re just pre-existing fish with Santa hats or mistletoe on their heads, but they should be fun to catch.
There are five festive fish in total: Festive Salmon, Festive Bass, Festive Anglerfish, Festive Squid, and Festive Fugu. Catching any of these fish requires Dreamlight Valley‘s fishing rod, but anyone who has been playing for a while should have this item. The festive fish won’t enter the game until December 25th, so any quests requiring a festive fish need to be put off until then.
Festive Fish in Dreamlight Valley
EDITORS NOTE: The rest of this information is only speculation and should be treated as such. Time travel in Disney Dreamlight Valley will break a player’s save file and is not recommended in any way.
Festive fish spawn in Christmas-colored fishing holes. These holes have red and green bubbles. Each fish has a specific biome in which it can be found, such as Dazzle Beach, home of the shrimp in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Players can only catch one of each type per day, meaning they can get a maximum of five fish in one day. The fish spawn in the same biomes as their regular counterparts.

Catching all five fish completes the “Even Fish Are Festive” quest. The reward for this quest is a Santa hat for the player! Unfortunately, as the quest is not yet active as of the time of this article, details regarding the festive fish are hazy.
These fish cannot be sold. However, certain players have reported festive fish appearing as a desired gift for Dreamlight Valley‘s Donald Duck. This suggests that more characters may ask for these funky fish. It’s unknown if any fish can be used in recipes, but they would likely act like their normal versions if they are.
If players find themselves impatiently waiting for festive fishing holes to appear in their game, there are some festive quests already available. “Home for the Holidays” requires players to place five-holiday items in their home to earn a winter carpet. “Cookie Taste Test” involves baking and eating three different cookies. These could be “My Hero” Cookies, Biscuits, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Wonderland Cookies, or Minnie’s Gingerbread Cookies. The quest rewards a pair of peppermint Mickey ears. Lastly, the “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?“ quest makes players build a snowman to earn peppermint Minnie ears with a little bow.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is happily supplying its players with new holiday content. As the holiday season continues, players will have lots to do, including catching the festive fish.

However, an evil force known as the Forgetting consumes the kingdom. It’s up to the player to solve puzzles, reunite characters, and embark on feature-rich character storylines to save the Dream realm. Players can build their own Disney neighborhood – plant gardens, go fishing, build residences – or go on adventures in dark caverns, sail the seas, or navigate spooky forests. The choice belongs to the player as they traverse the various Disney worlds in this cozy game that takes notes from mainstays like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. Disney Dreamlight Valley was fully released on September 6 2022.
