Disney Dreamlight Valley is bringing back trick-or-treating for the third consecutive year. The annual holiday event will offer exclusive seasonal rewards for players and is set to begin on October 23, bringing back one of Disney Dreamlight Valley's most beloved seasonal activities since its Early Access launch in September 2022.
Just two days ago, the game's official social media page and website had announced a huge update for Disney Dreamlight Valley coming October 9, with the release of Jungle Getaway, an update to the game that will include the addition of fan-favorite The Lion King characters Timon and Pumbaa, along with a collection of quests centered around them. That update will also launch a new Star Path based on rock concerts, complete with themed furniture items. But despite the early-October timing of that announcement, no mention had been made of any Halloween-themed content returning to or making its debut this month.
Disney Dreamlight Valley Villager Tier List
Disney Dreamlight Valley has over 20 recruitable Disney and Pixar characters, and some of the game's villagers are better than others.
A more recent release from the game's social media team has rectified that, announcing that the Disney Dreamlight Valley Trick-or-Treat in-game event will be returning from October 23-31. If the event follows similar rules to the version released last year, players will be tasked with preparing candy from cocoa beans, sugarcane, and vanilla, and offering it to at least 10 other valley residents. While the 2023 event rewarded players who successfully completed it with a Mickey Mouse Pumpkin furniture item, the special item up for grabs in 2024 is Mickey's Halloween Candy Bowl, which the Nintendo website showed off in a fresh video.
Trick-or-Treat Returns to Disney Dreamlight Valley for 2024
Past trick-or-treat events have also let players get their hands on some other spooky-looking rewards by completing event-themed villager tasks. For example, in previous years, players could earn a Pumpkin Stack furniture item by harvesting 100 pumpkins during the event's timeframe or feast on a three-course meal of Disney Dreamlight Valley Halloween candy to earn the Green Trick or Treater’s Bounty candy bucket. Gameloft hasn't yet commented on what tasks or rewards players can expect to see this Halloween season, but they're likely to make a comeback alongside trick-or-treating.
While the new reward shown in the recent video from Nintendo should give Disney Dreamlight Valley players something to look forward to, it was actually put together to highlight several October offerings on the Switch. These include new game releases like Sonic X Shadow Generations on October 25 and spooky seasonal events in other games like Disney Speedstorm, Pokemon Unite, Just Dance 2025 Edition, and Star Wars Hunters.
