 If you are level 12 or higher, you’ll see the following pop up. Click on the “Start Decorating” button to get started.

  Building Your Rocking Chair:

Before you can start the decoration festivities, you will need to build your Rocking Chair. Your first step is to collect Building Materials. You will need the following items to start building your Rocking Chair.

• Wooden Headboards
• Wooden Rockers
• Seat Cushions

To collect Wooden Headboards, click on the “Post” button to post to your Facebook wall; you will get the parts when your Friends click on it, or when you click on a similar newsfeed post.

Click on the “Ask” button to send requests for Wooden Rockers and Seat Cushions to your Neighbors. If you do not wish to wait for your Friends, you can skip any of these tasks for Farm Bucks.

                                                     Note: You can send a request for materials to your Friends every 18 hours.


 Once you have collected the required items, click on the “Start Building” button at the bottom of the construction menu.


 Now that the Chair is almost complete, you will need a little help from your Neighbors to finish the job. The Rocking Chair requires four additional helpers, so click on the “Ask Friends” button to send some crew requests to your Friends. When they accept, you will see the spots in the Build Menu begin to fill. If you do not wish to wait for your Friends, click on the “Hire One” button to purchase crew-members with Farm Bucks.

Completing Your Rocking Chair (Holiday Book Quests):

In order to earn some great prizes, you will need to complete the Holiday Book Quests. Currently, only the first set of quests is available. The other three stages of this feature will unlock in the coming weeks. You can access the Quest Menu from clicking on the Rocking Chair.

Each Holiday Book Quest has six parts that have to be completed. As you finish parts of your quest, a green check mark will appear to indicate what parts of the quest have been completed. If you complete all six parts of a Holiday Book Quest, you will win Speed-Grow and Decoration Lights for a building on your farm!

Holiday Book Quests – Week 1:

As noted above, click on the Rocking Chair to start working on your first set of Holiday Book Quests. The Holiday Book Quest tasks require you to make Lights in the Crafting Kiln, collect Icicles by completing Snow Quests to activate Snowfall, and then harvest your regular and Heirloom Trees to find them (Icicles), and get Hooks by completing quests for Gus and/or collect Hooks from your News feed.

The first step is to craft Yellow Holiday Light, Green Holiday Light, and Red Holiday Light. Click on the "Make" button to head into the Crafting Kiln to get started.

The next step in this quest is to collect Icicles and Snowflakes by completing quests for Snow. You will earn Snowflakes as you complete the Snow Quests. In order to earn Icicles, you will need to complete an entire quest for Snow to activate Snowfall, and then harvest your Trees (regular and Heirloom Trees) for a chance of finding Icicles. Note: If you do not wish to complete any of these tasks, you can skip this step for Farm Bucks.

To collect Snowflakes, click on the "Collect" button to complete a Snow Quest: Please Click Here To View Snow Is On The Way Task.

During Snowfall (activated after you complete all three tasks of a Snow Quest), you can find Icicles by harvesting your regular and Heirloom Trees. If you find some, they will appear on your farm in a similar fashion to Prize Goods.

You can also get Icicles and Snowflakes by collecting Friends’ and Neighbors’ requests from your News feed. 

The final step in this quest is to collect Hooks by completing quests for Gus. Click on the "Go To Quest" button to start Gus’s ‘Community Caring’ quests. If you do not wish to complete any of these quests, you can skip this step for Farm Bucks. Please Click Here To View The ‘Community Caring’ quest.


 You can also get Hooks by collecting Friends’ and Neighbors’ requests from your News feed

 As you complete the Holiday book Quests, you will receive special rewards, such as Speed-Grow! Click on the “Share” button to share Holiday Hooks with Friends.

Decoration Lights: 

In order to earn the beautiful Decoration Lights, you will need to complete the Holiday Book Quests. As you complete each quest, various buildings on your farm will be decorated with the Lights, which also animate! Below is a list of the buildings that you can decorate with the Lights:

1. Crafting Kitchen
2. Wells (all six)
3. Hay bales (all eight)

Holiday Fences:

Have you completed the Holiday Book, Stage 1 Quests and are looking for something else to do while you wait for the following week? Complete the Holiday Book, Stage 1 Quests multiple times to earn Bonus Fences with Holiday Lights!
