For a limited time centered around Christmas, Roadside-type Decor Pikmin wore special holiday-themed stickers instead of the standard letter stickers. This applied to any Pikmin sprouted during this period, regardless of when it reached Decor status. It started on December 21st, 2021 after being announced the day before,[1] and finished on January 11th, 2022. This was the first event to introduce limited-time special Decor Pikmin. There was another effect of this event which was announced later, which was that coins were earned 1 for every 250 flowers planted instead of 1 for every 500 flowers planted, capped at 60 coins per day, and lasting for the duration of the event.[2]

    • They could not be found using the detector.
    • Only one special seedling could be in the seedling storage or the Planter Pack at a time.

  • The other way to get Gold Seedlings was by completing missions. There were a total of 20 missions, each requiring some basic task to complete, and each one was unlocked after completing the previous one.[8]

This event was announced on September 4th, 2022.[9]

Flower Card Decor missions

  1. Plant 1,000 white flowers
  2. Pluck 2 seedlings
  3. Defeat 3 mushrooms
  4. Plant 5,000 white flowers
  5. Walk 15,000 steps
  6. Pluck 3 seedlings
  7. Defeat 1 red mushroom
  8. Plant 5,000 red flowers
  9. Walk 20,000 steps
  10. Pluck 4 seedlings
  11. Defeat 1 yellow mushroom

There were some complications with the first mission. Initially it was to walk 10,000 steps, but no steps were counting towards it. After a few hours, it was changed to "Plant 1,000 white flowers" for people who hadn't opened the app yet, and a few hours later, people who had started the mission when it wasn't working had it automatically completed even if they hadn't walked 10,000 steps yet.[10][11][12]

Missions referring to a specific color of flowers counted all flower types of that color, not just the basic type. For example, planting white spider lily flowers or white rose flowers would count towards missions requiring the planting of white flowers.

These rewards still applied when the player had the maximum amount of nectar of that type.

These rewards would not apply if the player had the maximum amount of nectar of that type.
    • Approximately 15% of the time, the player would get an egg with a diamond pattern, with half of the diamonds being gold. These gave one of four things: a Huge Seedling that grew into a Red, Yellow, or Blue Decor Pikmin with "Easter Egg" decor, a Gold Seedling that grew into the same types, a mushroom recharge ticket, or a flower planting accelerator.
