Holidays 2014 Event Guide!
|
|
On December 3rd, Nickelodeon pushed Version 4.22.00, officially kicking off the Holidays 2014 Event, featuring bits of storyline from episode 28, "Christmas Who". The Bottle Shooter makes a debut, move in a Giant Coral Tree (that used to belong to Squidward), and spread holiday joy by feeding delicious treats to Bikini Bottomites, in exchange for Holiday Spirit Bottles which can be used to obtain exclusive Holiday decorations! Ain't that just simply awesome? Nickelodeon also hinted at the "return" of a very special character at the end of the Community Event. Who could he or she be? Plankton? Santa? Robo-SpongeBob? We'll just have to wait and see. And we'll let you guys know as soon as we find out! Well, we've gone on long enough here. There's a whole guide below on everything related to this update and the event, including items and recipes. What are ye waitin' fer? Scroll down now! UltimateSpongeBob101 wishes everyone a very Happy Holidays!
It's the Ho-ho-Holidays!

Old man winter has returned to Bikini Bottom, bringing lots of snow with him! Bikini Bottom Bulidings are decorated in lights. What's missing? It's the Christmas spirit of course! SpongeBob and Patrick are taking it upon themselves to spread the Holiday cheer and things don't go very well at first. They need your help to get people to put aside their Thanksgiving leftovers and Halloween candy and get into the festive mood! First up, get SpongeBob and Patrick dressed for the holidays! Next, feed bottomites the recipes that we've listed further down. Lastly, redecorate! That's where the Community Event comes in! We have a complete quest guide for this event which you can visit here, at your leisure. Have a merry December and get ready to wash some of Patrick's socks in January! We're just kidding about that. Merry Christmas!
Spread the Cheer!

Dress SpongeBob in his Santa Hat and Patrick in his Holiday Tree Suit and they'll be able to do the "Spread Holiday Spirit" task! There's some cool animation to view! The task is limited to the two characters in their respective outfits...or is it? Wouldn't it be cool to see Squidward spreading some holiday cheer! Well, you'll be able to once you unlock the Large Snnow Globe from the Community Event! It's a Christmas Miracle!
Move In the Spice Shack and Treat Shop!

Similar to the game's Halloween 2014 Event, this Holiday Event included the return of the season-themed stores, one of each from the two store categories. Throughout the main part of the quest line, you'll be required to unlock the Spice Shack and Treat Shop in order to make Holiday Treats that can be fed to SpongeBob, Patrick or Squidward for extra Holiday Spirit Bottles. Unlike last year's Holiday Event, this event did not see Bottomites requesting Holiday Treats, which might be part of Nickelodeon's water-testing for future events. Overall, we're pretty sure players would want to be able to feed every bottomite Holiday Treats for extra Spirit Bottles, right?
Grandmas' Snickerdoodles and other Great Holiday Treats!

As with every new event, there are more new recipes to make! This time, SpongeBob and Patrick aren't very successful in spreading holiday cheer. However, all is not lost! You can make 5 new recipes in this event (excluding base items), of which we have listed below. Finishing the pre-Community Event quest line should get you all 5 recipes, and the ability to move in the Spice Shack and Treat Shop. Don't forget, you can also earn Holiday Spirit Bottles by feeding bottomites with holiday treats!
These are the recipes made available during this event:
-Snickerdoodles (requires Dough, Cinnamon, Sugar; made via Bakery)
