New Animal Crossing: New Horizons Seasonal Items Coming In August And September

Animal Crossing: New Horizons' version 1.11.0 update is now live. In addition to bringing back August's weekly fireworks show, the update introduces a new slate of seasonal items to the game, which will be available to purchase from Nook Shopping and other vendors throughout August and September.

To coincide with the fireworks show, Redd will be selling three new sweet treats: popsicles, cotton candy, and boba. You can win the treats by entering the raffle at his stall in your town's plaza. The fireworks show will be held every Sunday evening in August from 7 PM to midnight.
