How to Get the Christmas Spirit Pet in Adopt Me

The Christmas Spirit pet is one of the seasonal highlights in Adopt Me, but unlike standard shop pets, it doesn’t stay permanently in the world. Instead, it appears only in a specific location and on a rotating spawn schedule, which makes knowing when and where to look essential. This guide breaks down everything you need to know so you can secure this limited-time pet without wasting time wandering the map.

Where the Christmas Spirit Spawns

You’ll find the Christmas Spirit near the Abandoned Workshop area of the Winter Event map. This isn’t a roaming pet; it appears in the exact same spot each time it spawns. When it’s present, the pet stands visibly in the open and can be interacted with just like any other seasonal NPC or purchasable event pet.

Spawn Behavior and Availability

The Christmas Spirit does not stay active 24/7. Instead, it appears randomly on a rotation that seems to span several hours or even multiple days. If the pet is missing when you arrive, that means you’ve arrived during its downtime. The next appearance isn’t announced, so the only reliable method is consistent checking.

Players can return to the Abandoned Workshop area every few hours or once or twice a day. Since its arrival is not tied to a specific clock schedule, persistence is the only guaranteed strategy.

Cost to Purchase the Christmas Spirit

Once the pet appears, you can purchase it for 150,000 Gingerbread. This is a high cost compared to many event pets, so make sure you’ve saved enough before expecting the interaction button to work. If the game doesn’t let you buy it while it’s present, the reason is almost always insufficient Gingerbread rather than a glitch.

Tips to Increase Your Chances of Finding It

• Check during active Winter Event hours when other timed activities rotate, as spawns tend to align with server cycles.
• If the pet disappears moments after spawning, don’t panic; it returns on the same spot during the next cycle.
• Switch servers occasionally if you feel yours hasn’t respawned in a long time—some players have reported better luck by server hopping.
• Keep a steady Gingerbread reserve so you can buy it instantly the moment you find it.

Is the Christmas Spirit Worth Getting?

For collectors, seasonal enthusiasts, and players who enjoy limited-timed exclusives, the Christmas Spirit is a valuable pickup. Its rarity comes from both its high Gingerbread price and its unpredictable spawn window, making it a pet that many players may miss if they aren’t actively checking.
