Nintendo fans can look forward to festive fun this holiday season as the official Kirby Air Riders account has confirmed a brand-new in-game event set for Christmas Eve.
Kirby Air Riders, the popular racing title developed for the Nintendo Switch and available via the Nintendo eShop, has quickly established itself as a fan-favorite since its launch.
The newly-announced Christmas Eve event replaces a previously planned event that was unfortunately cancelled following the discovery of a game-affecting bug.
The development team moved quickly to not only address the issue but also ensure that dedicated players would not miss out on limited-time content.
"We recognize how important these rewards are to our community, and are thrilled to reintroduce the event so players have the opportunity to enjoy and earn them," the official account explained in a statement.
This in-game event will begin on December 24th and run until December 29th, offering players five days to log in and compete for exclusive items.
Most notably, participants will have a chance to obtain the highly sought-after Santa’s hat—a cosmetic item anticipated by the Kirby Air Riders community and originally planned as a reward for the cancelled event.
All rewards set for the previous event will be available in this new iteration, reaffirming Nintendo's commitment to player satisfaction and game integrity.
Since launching, Kirby Air Riders has consistently engaged fans with new content updates, community events, and responsive communication.
The title draws inspiration from the classic Kirby franchise, bringing fast-paced racing and beloved characters to Nintendo Switch consoles worldwide.
The game continues to see strong performance on the eShop, supported by an active player base and steady post-launch content. Players eager to participate in this Christmas Eve event can access it directly through the Nintendo Switch version of Kirby Air Riders.
Full event details and requirements are available through the official channels, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to make the most of this limited-time celebration.
With the restoration of the Santa’s hat reward and all prior event content, the latest update is poised to deliver a joyful experience for both new and longtime fans of the Kirby series.
