Greetings Fanlings!
The residents of the Goatlings Kingdom would like to share a very special end-of-year tradition!
All year long Goatlings save their biggest and prettiest Sugar Stars and turn them into charms. On the last day of the year (December 31st) Goatlings gather together and stay up late in order to greet the New Year at midnight! In the hours before midnight, the Sugar Star Charms are given to others to express an important message. The color of each charm represents something different.
Pink - I care about you, you're my good friend!
Blue - You're appreciated, I'm glad you're here!
Yellow - Good luck and prosperity in the New Year!
Purple - I love you!
Orange - I'm sorry.
Green - I forgive you.
White - Thank you!
So, if you've have something meaningful to say to someone but haven't had a good chance yet, or it's too hard to say out loud, the Sugar Star Festival is the perfect time to let it out!
Send a Sugar Star Charm to another member by clicking the charm in your inventory, choose 'Give To Friend' from the drop down menu and click 'Use', then enter the member's name and click 'Send Item'.

Winter Token Game - NEW ITEMS Overview, credits, and thank yous!Posted by
Krisgoat modon 2022-12-19 11:08:33
The Token Game is a seasonal event where members trade Goat Tokens for exclusive goodies. Goat Tokens are special coins members can find around the site all year long. They are available in the Diamond Dust shop, from Battle Center Baddys, Random Events, Daily Gachapon (Arcade game), and Gone Fishin (Arcade game). Sometimes they are also given to members as prizes during events and contests.
The Token Game changes with each season (4 games for 4 seasons). Each season, a new Guardian will arrive and exchange Goat Tokens for their treasure. The treasure will not retire, but will only be available during the appropriate season. For example, the Winter Token game is only open in the Winter. However, MORE treasure will be added each year (new items will have a higher drop rate)! Goat Tokens can be used in every season.
Winter Token Game Schedule = December, January, February
