Feast of the Winter Star
From Stardew Valley Wiki
The Feast of the Winter Star is a festival that takes place on the 25th of every Winter. You attend the festival by entering Pelican Town between 9am and 2pm. When you leave the festival, you will be returned to The Farm at 10pm.
The main event of the Feast of the Winter Star is secret gift-giving. A random villager will be selected to give you a gift, and you are assigned a random villager to give a gift to. A week beforehand, on the 18th, Mayor Lewis will send a letter telling you who your gift recipient is. You find out who is giving you a gift at the festival.
The festival ends when you leave Pelican Town.

| “ | “Dear [Player], I would like to give you some information about an upcoming event: the Feast of the Winter Star. It's a time for the community to come together and think back on all the good fortune we've had this year. A favorite tradition is the "secret gift exchange", where everyone in town is randomly assigned to someone else. On the day of the festival, everyone brings a gift for their secret friend and surprise them with something special! This year, your secret friend is: [NPC] Don't tell anyone! The feast will take place on the 25th from 10AM to 2PM at the town square. See you then! -Mayor Lewis” |
Trivia
- The name is possibly a reference to the series "Fist of the North Star".
- If you speak to Willy, you have the option to hear the story of the Winter Star:
- "In the night sky of winter, there is a bright star only visible from this valley. No one knows why this is... but in times of old people would come from far and wide to see it. They believed that anyone who laid eyes on the Winter Star would be blessed with good fortune. Some even claim that the mysterious fruit known as Stardrop is connected to the Winter Star in some way."
- On the shipping summary screen at end of day on the 24th of Winter, Santa Claus will ride across the sky with his sleigh and reindeer.
- If the player talks to George, he will deprecate the feast and shout "Humbug!", a reference to Ebenezer Scrooge, the elderly protagonist of Charles Dickens' novel A Christmas Carol.
