DIY Guide for Pumpkin and Spooky Set Recipes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

The Halloween update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons has dropped, and the most exciting feature—pumpkins—are now up for grabs. These vibrant veggies not only serve as fantastic decorations but also come with a variety of DIY recipes for you to collect and craft. Here’s a rundown of all the Spooky Set pumpkin DIY recipes we’ve discovered so far, along with tips on how to snag them.

**How to Get Pumpkins**
You can harvest pumpkins from seeds that you can purchase and plant. Make sure to gather plenty if you want to craft all the pumpkin DIY recipes this season.

**How to Get Pumpkin DIY Recipes (Spooky Set)**
You can obtain pumpkin DIY recipes, part of the Spooky Set, from villagers or by shooting down balloons. Each day, you have three crafting sessions in your village, depending on when you log in, with each session lasting three hours. This gives you plenty of time to visit your villagers and see what they’re working on at their DIY workbenches. If you find a villager crafting a recipe you already own, there’s a chance they might give you pumpkins instead of a duplicate recipe, though we haven’t confirmed this yet.

You can also find pumpkin DIY recipes by shooting down balloons. Keep in mind that acorn and pine cone DIY recipes are still available to collect through November on Northern Hemisphere islands, so don’t forget to use your slingshot when you spot one! Some Spooky Set recipes are exclusive to Halloween Day, October 31, and certain items like the spooky wall, spooky flooring, and spooky rug don’t have recipes at all. We believe these can only be obtained by giving villagers candy on Halloween. We’re still working to confirm which items are exclusive to Halloween Day and which lack recipe cards.
