The festive chimes have arrived in the forest, and with them, Santa's stranded elves and their magical shop of wonders. For a limited time, the Elf King and Queen have set up their festive market in your game lobby, packed with exclusive items that can transform your camp and boost your holiday progress. But with the event ending on December 28, time—and your hard-earned Candy Canes—are precious.

This isn’t just a shopping list; it’s your strategic blueprint for the 99 Nights in the Forest Christmas event. We'll break down every item in the Elf Shop, provide a tiered strategy for what to buy first, and reveal hidden shop mechanics most players completely miss. By the end, you’ll know exactly how to spend your Candy Canes to secure the best permanent rewards and dominate the festive season.

💡 Smart Spending: Your Tiered Buying Guide

99 Nights Christmas Guide: Unlock Every Elf Shop Item

Candy Canes aren’t unlimited, so prioritization is key. Follow this tier list to get the most valuable items before the event ends.

Tier S – The Essential First Purchase

  • Item: Santa's Helper Class

  • Why It’s #1: Think of this not as a purchase, but an investment. This limited-time class boosts Candy Cane earnings from every subsequent elf rescue. Buying it first makes all other shop items cheaper and easier to obtain.

Tier A – High-Value Permanent Rewards

  • Items: Christmas Bunny Skin & Christmas Wolf Skin

  • Why Next: Once your Candy Cane income is boosted, grab these permanent pet skins. Unlike event-limited items, they remain in your inventory after the Christmas event ends, offering the best long-term value.

Tier B – Fun Flair & Camp Decoration

  • Items: Festive Couch & Santa’s Mailbox

  • When to Buy: Only after securing Tier S and A items. These cosmetic items add holiday spirit to your camp but don’t impact gameplay.


🕵️ Hidden Secrets & Pro Tips

Beyond the price tags, the Elf Shop has a few crucial secrets you shouldn’t miss:

  • The Clock Icon is a Warning: Items with a small clock icon are event-exclusive and disappear when the event ends. Weigh these against permanent items like pet skins.

  • Candy Canes Expire: Any unused Candy Canes are deleted on December 28. Spend every last one!

  • Visit the Shop Daily: Some items are free claimables each day, including extra tools or Candy Canes.

  • Efficiency Matters: To afford big-ticket items like the 350-Cane Wolf Skin, purchase Ladder, Shovel, and Ice Skates tools from the Santa Sack for Mossy Coins before elf rescues. This lets you rescue every elf without delay.


✅ Final Checklist Before the Event Ends

As the festive season winds down, use this checklist to ensure no reward is left behind:

  1. Purchase Santa's Helper Class to boost earnings.

  2. Farm Candy Canes using all tools (Ladder, Shovel, Ice Skates).

  3. Buy permanent Christmas pet skins (Bunny first, then Wolf).

  4. Spend remaining Candy Canes on decorative furniture.

  5. Claim any free daily items from the Elf King and Queen.

  6. Empty your Candy Cane wallet to zero before December 28.

By following this guide, you’ll transform from a holiday shopper into a strategic event master. You’ll secure the rarest permanent cosmetics, maximize temporary advantages, and enjoy a camp brimming with Christmas cheer.

Grab your tools, find those elves, and build your legacy in the forest—one Candy Cane at a time.
