How to Get Christmas Lights in 99 Nights in the Forest (Guide)

The Christmas Lights event is part of the second week of the Christmas update in 99 Nights in the Forest.

As Santa’s Workshop slowly progresses, elves begin decorating the forest, but their work is interrupted when the Deer attacks again and causes them to lose their Christmas Lights.

Your task is to find Christmas Lights across the forest and use them to decorate Christmas Trees in the North Pole Biome. Completing this activity helps restore the decorations and allows the elves to continue their work.

This guide explains how to get Christmas Lights in 99 Nights in the Forest, where to use them, and all rewards you can earn.

How to Get Christmas Lights in 99 Nights in the Forest

Christmas Lights are new collectible items introduced in the Christmas update. They are fairly easy to find if you know what to look for.

Method 1 Chopping Decorated Trees

The most reliable way to get Christmas Lights is by chopping trees.

How it works:

• Look for trees wrapped with Christmas Lights

• These trees are scattered throughout the snowy forest

• Use your axe to chop them down

Rewards from chopping one decorated tree:

• 3 pieces of wood

• 1 Christmas Light

Because the forest is covered in snow, the lights are easy to spot once you start paying attention.

Method 2 Killing Wolves with Christmas Lights

Some wolves in the forest are also wrapped with Christmas Lights.

How it works:

• Hunt wolves that have lights wrapped around them

• Kill the wolf to receive loot

Rewards from wolves:

• Meat

• Christmas Light

However, this method is riskier, especially for new players, since wolves can deal heavy damage and may require bandages or revives. For efficiency and safety, chopping trees is strongly recommended.
