’Tis the season for Animal Crossing, especially since the virus may mean spending the holiday season alone for the very first time.

Since the virus took over all of our lives, none of us could have anticipated that we’d still be dealing with it at the end of the freaking year. It seems like only yesterday that Trump was promising an Easter celebration free from the widespread virus.

Instead, we’re all facing the reality that we’ll be enjoying only the company of ourselves for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thankfully, Animal Crossing is here to save the day!

Animal What?

For those who don’t know, Animal Crossing is a long-running series of Nintendo games that follow the real-world clock and calendar. If it’s dark outside in the real world, it’ll be dark outside in Animal Crossing.

In the newest version ‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons’, players build and run their own deserted islands.
Over time, up to ten villagers can move to your island and live there, providing you with friends you can hang out and socialise with.
