Adopt Me! February 2025 Update – Lunar New Year Event
The February 2025 update in Adopt Me! brought a festive and exciting Lunar New Year event, filled with vibrant visuals, new pets, and an engaging reward system. Running from January 24 to February 14, this limited-time update introduced new mechanics and collectibles that made it one of the most well-received seasonal events so far this year.
Lunar New Year Arrives on Adoption Island
Adoption Island underwent a complete transformation during the event, with glowing lanterns, decorative pathways, and firework effects adding to the festive atmosphere. Players were welcomed by a new NPC named Lucy, who served as the event guide and introduced players to the mechanics of the Lunar New Year celebration.
The event area featured interactive zones, shopping stands, and daily challenges — creating a lively, immersive experience for players new and old.
Introducing Shooting Stars
This year’s event replaced the usual Bucks or Gingerbread currency with a new, limited-time resource called Shooting Stars. Players could collect up to 50 per day by exploring the map and completing event activities, such as daily quests and timed drops around the island.
Shooting Stars were used to unlock exclusive items and pets from the event shop, allowing players to choose how to spend their rewards depending on their collection goals. The daily cap encouraged regular gameplay without overwhelming players who couldn’t grind for hours each day.
New Pets: Blossom Snake and Gilded Snake
The most exciting part of the event was the release of two themed pets:
- Blossom Snake – A Rare pet available for 40 Shooting Stars, designed with elegant floral patterns and a unique idle animation.
- Gilded Snake – A Legendary-tier pet costing 325 Shooting Stars, with a golden body, shimmering scales, and high demand in trading servers.
Both pets were available exclusively during the event window, making them valuable assets for collectors and traders alike. The Gilded Snake, in particular, quickly gained popularity as a top-tier limited pet.
Event Rewards and Customisation
In addition to pets, the event featured themed accessories, pet toys, and festive furniture for players looking to decorate their in-game homes. Red envelope toys and Lunar-themed backwear added flair to pets and helped players personalize their collection during the celebration.
All items were purchased with Shooting Stars, giving players flexibility and choice in how they approached the event. Some chose to save up for the Gilded Snake, while others focused on decorating and collecting smaller items across multiple accounts.
Community Response
The Adopt Me! community responded positively to the 2025 Lunar New Year update. Social channels were filled with fan art, trading screenshots, and gameplay clips featuring the new pets. Players appreciated the event’s balance — allowing both casual and dedicated users to enjoy the rewards without needing premium currency.
Trading for the Blossom and Gilded Snakes increased dramatically during the final week of the event, with many users seeking Neon or Mega versions before they became more difficult to find.
Closing Thoughts
The February 2025 update successfully delivered a polished and engaging event, full of creativity and replay value. With a focus on new pets, fair reward mechanics, and immersive design, the Lunar New Year celebration stood out as one of the year’s early highlights.
As the event closed on February 14, many players began looking ahead to the next big content drop, with speculation already forming about future eggs and Spring events.
