The Feast of the Winter Star takes place on the 25th of every Winter. You can enter the festival at Pelican Town Square between 9:00AM and 2:00PM, and when you leave the time will be 10:00PM.
The event works like a secret Santa where a random villager will be selected to give you a gift, and you're assigned a random villager to give a gift to. A week beforehand on the 18th, Mayor Lewis will send a letter telling you who your gift recipient is. Willy mentions the mysterious Stardrops in a story. It is unknown if this event is meant to give a Stardrop somehow.
Gift-giving
When you have given your gift out, your Secret Santa will then reveal themselves and give you your present.
