Winter is here, and that means the beloved Disney Dreamlight Valley is once again filled with festive cheer! This year, the Winter events bring back delightful wrapping paper and the ever-elusive Festive Fish. If you missed your chance to catch them last year, fret not—2025 has rolled around and the opportunity is knocking!
These Festive Fish make their appearance for a limited time, so if you want to fully participate in the Gift of Giving event, it’s essential to snag them while you can. Let’s dive into the locations for all the Festive Fish available in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
All Festive Fish Locations in Disney Dreamlight Valley
This year’s Gift of Giving event showcases five unique festive fish that players can cast their lines for. To catch each fish, simply explore specific biomes and keep an eye out for special red and green circles on the water’s surface.
While most of these festive fish can be caught anytime, two require a bit of finesse. Avoid the usual white, blue, and orange bubble spots, as they yield standard fish instead.
Here’s your guide to every festive fish and where you can find them:
| Fish | Location |
|---|---|
| Festive Bass | Peaceful Meadow |
| Festive Fugu | Dazzle Beach (Raining) |
| Festive Squid | Glade of Trust |
| Festive Salmon | Sunlit Plateau |
| Festive Anglerfish | Forgotten Lands (6pm to 5am) |
Instead of the usual fishing spots you’re accustomed to, keep an eye out for sparkling red and green circles on the water. Everything else—how it feels to fish, the minigames, you name it—remains the same.
It’s worth noting that fishing spots may not appear every time you check a biome. They’re not as elusive as the Here and There fish, but they can still be tricky. Don’t hesitate to catch fish from other circles and check back later—eventually, a red and green circle will signal your opportunity to catch a festive fish.
The Festive Fugu and Festive Anglerfish can be particularly tricky to reel in. To catch the Fugu, you’ll need to be at Dazzle Beach when it’s raining—a challenge given the unpredictable weather. For the Anglerfish, head into the Forgotten Lands between 6 PM and 5 AM. Timing is everything!
