This year, we've created something extra special for everyone: An entire interactive adventure. Play through 12 different storylines (one per day), decide whether you want to be naughty or nice. If you play through all twelve, you'll get a special badge--though there'll be no other rewards for daily participation, so don't feel pressured to take time away from your real holidays. Don't forget to breed all of your past Holiday Dragons. Breeding starts now (00:00 on 12/19) and continues for exactly seven days, ending at 00:00 on 12/26. Past holiday dragons will continue to have no limit, so grab as many as you can find. Restrictions on keeping multiple eggs from a single pair continue to apply. Last (but not least) a new Holiday Dragon will be released at 00:00 on 12/25. It will drop for exactly three days, ending at 00:00 on 12/28.
As of January 29, 2016, the game is now re-playable here.
As of February 14, 2016, the Valkemarian Tales: Jolly Follies soundtrack is available for purchase here.

Day Four
A person walks by the player and their house.
Player walks up to the town square and has the option to speak with the person, who is circling around the town square.
"Why am I tellin' you, anyhow? Kids these days only care about themselves."
"Wait. Ye mean ye'll actually help? That's a shock."
"I bet they got spooked and ran up the mountain pass north of my ranch, but all that fresh snow set off an avalance up there earlier and I'm worried they might've gotten hurt."
Player received: Reindeer Treats
Liud continues circling in the town square- he can then be found in front of his ranch when the player heads west. If spoken to, the following message is given:
The player approaches an ice skating puzzle. The rocks can be used to stop the player from skating around, and used in the right combination(s) can get the player to the path on the left.

"..."
"Ahem. Anyway. Thanks for bringing them back in one piece."
Set Loose Option
The player stands and turns to look in all different directions as reindeer run loose in the town center.
Day Five
Player steps outside of house- a person is pacing around outside and the player has the option to speak with them.

Player received: Festive Gift
If Romeo is spoken to again before the gift is delivered, the following message is given:
Player enters Alana's house.

"Thanks for being honest."

"See you around!
Romeo runs off back to his house.
Either response will now result in a present being left on the sidetable at the player's house.
Day Six
Perl approaches the player's house.
Perl now approaches the player.
"I bet both of them could use some more cheering up. Their house is just north of yours- you should pop in for a visit!"
Perl leaves and the player heads north to the indicated house.
"... Oh, PERL sent you? I see."
If Sadie is spoken to again, the following message is given:
At this point in the story, it is possible to completely circumvent the day's nice or naughty choice. To do so, the Flower Fields map must be accessed instead by going from the Town Center map to North Nulhora, which will lead to the East Nulhora map that goes further east to the Flower Fields. Once the flowers are collected, it is still possible to experience the day's choice by going west through East Nulhora back to the Town Center; before reaching the town, you will be prompted with the day's choice. To avoid the choice completely, simply return using the same route through North Nulhora. It is unknown whether collecting flowers twice using this method will result in issues with the game- it is recommended to avoid this situation.
Having the player arrive in the East map from the Town Center map, or is already in the East map and is heading to the Town Center map, will cause the following prompt:
Player approaches Rita's flower garden.
"What would you like to do?"
Choose: 'Take some flowers.' or 'Leave them alone.'
"It wouldn't be very nice to steal someone else's flowers."
Player must then proceed east to the Flower Fields to collect their bouquet.
Take Some Option:
"Taking these flowers will save a lot of effort."
Player received: Bouquet.
Approaching any flower patch in the Flower Fields map will prompt the following message:
"What would you like to do?"
Choose: 'Take some flowers.' or 'Leave them alone.
Taking flowers gives the following prompt:
Player returns to Sadie.
Day Seven
Someone knocks at the player's door.
"..."
"Oh no... He was going to deliver some parcels to the town on the other side of the mountains to the north, but he should have been back ages ago! What if he's hurt?"
"We're so far behind on deliveries, I can't possibly spare the time to search for him. Would you please go see if you can find anything?"
"... Thank you! I'm lost without my best courier."
Once walking up the Mountain Route map, player automatically approaches the Solstice dragon.
"I tried to reassure him, but he has been trapped for three days and his spirit is failing."
Player and dragon walk a distance.
Player enters cavern.
"... Watch out!"
Player moves forward as a rock falls from the ceiling, blocking the path they came from.
"I-I was trying to deliver some parcels to the town in the north, but, well... I lost my way in all that snow a- and twisted my ankle really bad. I barely managed to take shelter in here."
If player interacts with Ansel again, the folllowing message is given:
Reading the signpost in the caverns gives the following instructions:
"Even though the rocks ahead look heavy, you can push and pull them with ease."

*sound effect* "
Once the player has cleared the path:
The player is preventing from progressing any further and must return the way they came.
"I'm sorry you had to do all this for me..."
Player and Ansel exit the caverns.
Screen goes black.
Player and Ansel are now back at Ansel's home.
"You rescued him! And more or less in one piece, too- you're a hero, <NAME>! And... who's this lovely lady?"
Player goes to leave but is stopped.
"I hate to impose after all you've done for us already, but..."
"We're still way behind at the post office, and with ANSEL injured I can't see how we'll ever catch up."
Choose: 'Decline' or 'Accept'
HAND: "You are too good for this world, <NAME>! Just deliver these to the individual named on the front. And don't mind JANUS; that old Holly dragon may look intimidating, but he has a heart of pure gold."
Player received: Letter to JOE, Letter to PERL, Letter to JANUS.
Upon speaking with Joe, the following message is given:
JOE: "..."
"Much appreciated <NAME>. You're a good kid."
Upon speaking with Janus the Holly dragon, the following message is given:
JANUS: "Ah yes, just the message I was waiting to hear."
"(JANUS eats the letter.)"
Upon speaking with Perl, the following message is given:
PERL: "Oh, thanks <NAME>! You look like you've had a long day."
Decline Option
Day Eight
Perl approaches the player.
"BILL really appreciated his flowers, too! SADIE seems relieved."
"Now I just wish my cousin VALA would cheer up. He's been moping around for days!"
"Maybe you can go talk to him? He's visiting the farm south of town today."
Vala can be found South, outside dressed in blue.
"I'm trying to build a snowman, but the stupid snowballs keep falling apart. Will you help me?"
Reading the signpost nearby will give further instructions:
"If your snowball falls off a ledge, it will break!"
If any of the snowballs touch a rock or each other at any point, the following message is given whilst the playing field is partially reset:
Upon completion of the puzzle:
"I'm sorry I was so grumpy before. It's just that I lost my grandpa's pocket watch in the snow the other day during that big storm. Don't tell PERL, okay?"
Choose: 'Give pocketwatch' or 'Keep pocketwatch'
Vala spins around.
VALA: "Holy cow! Where'd you find it? Thanks, <NAME>, you're the best!"
"My grandpa passed away a few years ago- this watch is priceless."
Keep Option
Day Nine
"Would you mind helping out an old friend?"
Player approaches and interacts with Janus the Holly dragon.
"Some days it feels like it never even happened at all- but here we are..."
"... Ahem. Pardon me. A friend of mine lives not far north of Nulhora, and this month marks a very special anniversary for her and her mate as well. I want to invite them to the [sic] our festival, but these old bones are not what they once were."
Player received: Special Invitation
Walking north once entering the Northern Forests map will trigger the following:
Player approaches the situation.
If the player does not have 'Mushroom Poppers' in their inventory, they must go to Joe's General Store and obtain them before the story can progress.
If the player has 'Mushroom Poppers' in their inventory, the option to select "Throw shroom poppers" will be available.
The player will move away and the Howler Drakes will leave.
"You'll take me home, right? Our cave is on top of that great big mountain to the north."
If the player attempts to go South:
Player must go further north to the Northern Mountains, and enter the Northern Mountain, and navigate through it to get up the mountain side.
Choose: 'Let him deliver the letter' or 'Accompany BORD home'
BORD: "Oh, okay! Maybe it's better to be safe than sorry."
Continuing further north, the player will reach a final cave.
BORD: "Mum!"
Bord runs back to his parents.
KUNO: Thank you for bringing BORD home. Ever since he almost didn't hatch in the storm last year, we fret over him constantly."
"... Oh? What's this?"
ORELA: "An invitation from JANUS? That sly old dog."

KUNO: "Please let JANUS know we wouldn't miss it."

The player is about to leave when Robin speaks again.

Walking into Galys' farm house will trigger the following:
"ROBIN sent you to help around the farm? That's awfully sweet, but LIUD offered to come by after the festival. The man's so handy you'd never guess he'd lost an arm to that- well, maybe that was before your time."
"I tell you what. I promised NED I'd send him fresh currants for his pies, but this cold is rough on my joints."
Player received: Currants
Walking into the bakery will trigger the following:
Walking outside again will cause the player to stop and observe the fresh pies on the table outside.
Choose: 'Steal a pie' or 'Leave the pies alone'
Ned steps out of the store.
NED: "Oh <NAME>, since you brought me those red currants I think I'll end up with a couple of extra pies for the party than I needed."
"I'd like you to have one. Consider it a token of my gratitude; and besides, you look pretty hungry."
Player received: Pie
Steal a Pie Option
Ned runs out of the shop to the player.
NED: "AHA! I saw that! These pies are for everyone to enjoy at the party tomor-row, not for some thieving pigeon in a parka to peck at. Go on the, off with you!"
Day Eleven
Two people are talking and one walks away.
"My name's STEVE, and this naughty girl is my best mate and assistant, BOSON."
"If there is a dragon temple nearby, the information we could gain about ancient Valkemarians would be invaluable."
The player can find Steve in the Norther Mountains map, eastern side (where there were once many large boulders blocking the path).
"I think I see something to the east. Let's go!"
Entering the cavern will trigger the following:
"And look at the door over there!"
"There seems to be some kind of crystal feature embedded in the door that looks like the crystal over here."
If Steve is spoken to again, the following message is given:

Pulling it into the middle of the path will allow for the beam of light to land on the door and open it, at which point the beam of light fades away.

"Holy smokes! That statue... The ancient Valkemarians must have built this temple to honor a Guardian of Nature. I've only seen drawings, but that likeness is dead-on. And look! The trinkets in that dish must have been left as offerings by the last people to visit here."
If the player attempts to leave the temple at this point, the following message is given:
Interacting with the bowl will trigger the following:
"The glint of an ornately-crafted amulet catches your eye."

Trivia[]
- There were many returning characters from the Holiday 2014 Snow Warning event. Orela the Gold Dragon and Kuno the Nhiostrife Wyvern were featured in Snow Warning's Bonus Chapter 12. It told the story of Bord's birth, which is referenced in-game during dialogue with Kuno. Because of the 5 character limit on names however, Orela is shortened from Orelia. Janus the Holly and Avery are also returning characters from Snow Warning.
- Avery, when spoken to on the final day, refers to the Avatar of Change scale from Snow Warning, and asks if the player still has it. This implies that the protagonist in Snow Warning and Valkemarian Tales: Jolly Follies are the same person.
- Walking over ice patches had caused the player to slow down. Since Day 2, walking over ice turns the walk into a speedy slide. The direction of sliding remains constant until the player is stopped by a shore or another obstacle.
- After a lot of users reported being able to bypass collision barriers or teleport outside of barriers, Day 2 brought a reset feature that allows users who get stuck to reset the chapter and free themselves.
- If the player chose to keep the cat in Day 2, they can find the cat staying in their house- it can be interacted with where it will play a cat mewling sound clip.
- If the player chose to keep the cat on Day 2, they would not have been shown the standing sprite of the Gilded Bloodscale.
- Should the player find themselves up on a small ledge, they can jump down from it as opposed to finding the path back out again.
- The tailor's shop sign indicates that the character's name is "Robyn" but speaking with the tailor will show their name as "Robin". It has since been confirmed that the latter spelling is the correct one.
- The tailor is actually standing on the counter, rather than behind it.
- When Day 4 events were first released, the ice skating puzzle could be avoided via following a thin ledge to the left and then skating upwards. This was promptly fixed with the addition of a large boulder.
- The Gilded Bloodscale that appears in Day 2's events is the same one featured in Snow Warning's Bonus Chapter 11.
- After speaking to Romeo on Day 5, opening the inventory displayed a glitch where all items (including future ones) appeared stacked on the side of the screen. They could not be highlighted to see their names however. This glitch occurs in various manners, with the giftbox item being removed completely and then being re-added but missing its name and flavor text.
- From Day 5 and onwards, Joe's General Store can be visited and "Reindeer Sausage" can be obtained from the shopkeeper.
- From Day 3 and onwards, the Town Center and North Nulhora will have houses and trees coated with snow due to the snow storm that hit (despite the snow storm effect not being present when the player visited North Nulhora).
- Day 6 is the first day where the choice between nice and naughty can be skipped altogether without any consequences.
- Day 8's nice and naughty choices are switched around from their usual order of presentation, with the nice option being first.
- In Day 8's snowball game puzzle, the player can roll snowballs over dirt patches without any consequences to the game.
- After Day 9, Bord can be found in the Northern Forests as well as the highest cavern with his parents. Neither forms of Bord can be interacted with however.
- During Day 11's crystal collecting puzzle, the 3 dragon heads holding the different crystals are all molded in different ways. The one holding the Light Mana is shaped after the Avatar of Creation, as Light is the center element to the Creation group. The one holding the Dark Mana is shaped after the Avatar of Destruction, as Dark is the center element to the Destruction group. The last one holding the Magi Mana is shaped after the Avatar of Change, as Magi is the center element to the Change group. These 3 avatars can later be seen again on the Guardian of Nature statue at the end of the temple. The dragon head that holds all 3 crystals in the end is shaped after the Guardian of Nature.
- The character "Steve" from Day 11 was based on the real life person Steve Irwin.
