[[File:December Community Day Promotional Image.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Social media promotional image for the event.]]
Special Mission Tickets are unique items available in the [[shop]] during [[Event Challenge]]s, [[Event/Decor Pikmin events|Decor Pikmin events]], and [[Community Day]]s. When purchased from the shop, a special mission to plant 2,000 flowers of a specific color is made available. If the missions that are made available by purchasing a ticket are not completed before they expire, there is no compensation given for what was spent on the price of the ticket, and no rewards are given.
The second public event of ''Pikmin Bloom'' was also a Community Day. It was announced on {{date|2|December|2021}},{{cite web|https://twitter.com/pikminbloom_jp/status/1466240800908587010/|Tweet by Pikmin Bloom Japan|Twitter|published={{date|2|December|2021}}|retrieved={{date|2|December|2021}}}}{{cite web|https://twitter.com/PikminBloom/status/1466301193949523971/|Tweet by Pikmin Bloom|Twitter|published={{date|2|December|2021}}|retrieved={{date|2|December|2021}}}} and it occurred on {{date|18|December}}.{{cite web|https://www.pikminbloom.com/en/news/event-2021-1214/|News post|the Pikmin Bloom website|published={{date|13|December|2021}}|retrieved={{date|14|December|2021}}}} Unlike the first Community Day, it lasted for the full day. For the effects of this event to work properly, the app needed to be updated to at least [[Update|version]] 36.0. Rewards and boosts for participating in this event include:
*Higher chances of [[Big Flower]]s blooming into poinsettias when regular blue, red, yellow, or white petals are planted around them.
*Players achieving the 10,000 step goal on this day will be awarded a special poinsettia flower [[Badge (Pikmin Bloom)|badge]].
*Seedlings in the [[Planter Pack]] will grow at 1.5 times the usual speed. This effect can be stacked with the [[flower planting]] multiplier.
During this event, the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Step counter|step counter]] on the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Main menu|main menu]] was replaced with a special poinsettia-themed step counter graphic, which linked to the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#News|news menu]] when tapped before reaching the goal, and the badge's information page after reaching the goal. This made the regular step counter inaccessible.

The flower type rewarded depends on what flower the Community Day is themed around. Community Day tickets can only be purchased with real money, and always cost $1.99 (or equivalent in other currencies). After being purchased, the mission can only be completed until the day after the Community Day weekend.


==== Holiday Roadside Decor Pikmin ====
