Nintendo has officially announced a new Kirby Air Riders special event, bringing fresh excitement to fans of the beloved pink hero.
Set to take place from December 24th to December 29th, 2025, this limited-time event arrives on the Nintendo Switch as a celebration that coincides with the holiday season.
Developed and published by Nintendo, Kirby Air Riders has long been recognized for its fast-paced racing action and exhilarating multiplayer modes.
The upcoming event was announced via the official Kirby Air Riders social media account, following the cancellation of a previous event due to technical issues.
According to Nintendo, the new event will adopt the same competitive format as the previously popular 'Everyone, to the Stadium!' challenge, where players race against each other in a fixed stadium setting.
This ensures a level playing field for all participants and recreates the excitement of stadium-based races within the familiar world of Kirby Air Riders. A translated announcement from Nintendo clarifies, 'The event that was previously canceled due to a malfunction, “Decide the Race! City Trial,” will be rescheduled and held with the rules changed to “Everyone, to the Stadium!” There will be no change to the reward lineup, which includes the Santa hat as a participation reward.' After technical bugs forced the postponement of the earlier event, Nintendo’s quick response demonstrates its ongoing commitment to delivering a quality gaming experience and supporting its active Kirby community.
Players who participate during the event window can look forward to earning unique holiday-themed items, such as the festive Santa hat, which racers can equip during in-game matches—perfectly timed for year-end celebrations. As one of the popular titles featured in recent Nintendo Direct presentations, Kirby Air Riders continues to attract a dedicated following on the Nintendo Switch.
The game’s online capabilities and event-driven content have helped sustain engagement since its release, with Kirby fans embracing both standalone and competitive multiplayer modes.
The availability of new customization items, like the Santa hat, further adds to the title’s replay value and appeal on Nintendo's robust digital platform, the eShop. The Kirby Air Riders holiday event underscores Nintendo’s commitment to fostering enthusiasm around its first-party franchises through regular in-game events and updates.
Players interested in participating in the special event should mark their calendars for December 24th through December 29th, 2025, and prepare to compete for seasonal rewards in the stadium.
