Celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year with one feature-packed update

Electronic Arts appears to be rationalizing updates for this holiday season, as the publisher has thrown in Thanksgiving, Santa Claus and fireworks for New Year in a big fat update for players of The Sims FreePlay.

Version 5.1.0 celebrates a holiday season that mashes up turkeys and elves like there’s no next year. Santa is looking for his missing elves while people in your neighborhood are wearing turkey hats. Next thing you know, fireworks will be setting your house on fire. It’s a craze!

Jokes aside, there are two clear missions I’ve been able to extract from the changelog.

One task is to completing the “Thanksgiving Day” quest (which is ending November 28), and the other is to Help Santa find his Elves by completing “The Missing Xmas Elves” quest by Christmas.

From December 13, players will also be able to unlock Pet Reindeers, like the one being petted in the screenshot above, and on December 29 you’ll get a “10... 9... 8…” quest to receive Fireworks for your Sims.

Download The Sims FreePlay for your iOS 4.3 device (or newer) and enjoy the triple-holiday cheer starting today.
