What is the Holiday Seed Pack?
The Holiday Seed Pack is a special limited-time seed pack introduced during the Christmas Harvest Event in Grow a Garden. This festive pack replaces the previous Zenith Seed Pack and contains exclusively Christmas-themed seeds that you won’t find in regular seed packs. The pack features a beautiful cyan design with a white snowflake symbol, perfectly capturing the holiday spirit.
Key Features:
- Limited Time Availability: Only available during the Christmas event
- Exclusive Seeds: Contains seeds not found in any other pack
- Multiple Obtainment Methods: Can be earned through Season Pass or purchased
- Varied Rarity: From common 40% drops to ultra-rare 0.5% drops
How to Obtain the Holiday Seed Pack?
Method 1: Season 3 Rewards
The most straightforward way to get Holiday Seed Packs is through the Season 3 reward system. You can obtain them at specific tiers:
- Tier 4: Your first Holiday Seed Pack
- Tier 16: Second pack reward
- Tier 30: Third pack reward
- Tier 41: Fourth pack reward
- Tier 48: Fifth and final pack reward
This method guarantees you 5 Holiday Seed Packs throughout the season, making it the most reliable option for dedicated players.
Method 2: Season Pass Shop
For players who want more than the guaranteed 5 packs, you can purchase additional Holiday Seed Packs from the Season Pass Shop:
- Cost: 150 or 199 Pass Points
- Restock Chance: 20% chance to restock
- Strategy: Save your points and check back regularly for restocks
Pro Tip: The shop restocks randomly, so make it a habit to check every few hours. I’ve found that checking right after server resets often yields better results!
Method 3: Premium Season Pass (Exotic Holiday Seed Pack)
If you have the Premium Season Pass, you’ll have access to the exclusive Exotic Holiday Seed Pack. This premium version contains all the same seeds as the regular pack plus one additional exclusive seed.

- Monitor Market Values: Some seeds become more valuable as the event progresses

Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Ignoring the Christmas Harvest Event
Many players focus solely on the Holiday Seed Pack and ignore the Christmas Harvest Event. This is a mistake because:
- You miss out on valuable individual rewards
- Community rewards benefit everyone
- Santa’s Surprise Present can contain rare seeds not in the Holiday Seed Pack
2. Wasting Pass Points
Don’t spend your Pass Points on minor items when Holiday Seed Packs are available. With only a 20% restock chance, you need to be ready to buy when they appear.
3. Not Diversifying Your Garden
Planting only one type of crop reduces your chances of getting the mutations needed for the Christmas Harvest Event. Diversify your garden to maximize point potential.
4. Waiting Too Long to Start
The event has a limited duration, and some rewards take time to unlock. Start participating immediately to ensure you don’t miss out on time-sensitive rewards.
