Two Mother's Day items are sold in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. While one item returns from last year's in-game party, the other is brand new to the game.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been unavailable for over a year, which means last year's events and holidays are starting to expire and the same items will be available again. While this is great news for players who may not have had the opportunity to acquire rare or time-limited items the first time around, other players complain that New Horizons lacks decoration and content overall. But it looks like Nintendo is adding some new features to the second year of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, starting with new Mother's Day items.

Mother's Day falls on Sunday, May 9 this year, this year's Mother's Day event in the game will introduce carnations to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, a type of floral decoration that can be placed on countertops or on the floor. Carnations for Mother's Day are a beautiful red, white and pink bouquet in a lovely basket. Unfortunately, it looks like flowers don't come in other colors, like most of the seasonal items from Animal Crossing.

This month, players can also pick up a seasonal Mummy 2020 Thank You Mug. The cloves will have players spin 1,600 bubbles, and the cup costs 600 bubbles. Both items are available by the end of May. As always, temporary Animal Crossing items are available from the Nook Shopping app on your in-game phone or via the Terminal on Resident Services.

But before Mother's Day, players can also celebrate a Japanese holiday known as Children's Day. While Western players may not be aware of it, Animal Crossing is sticking to its roots by celebrating Japanese holidays. Children's Day is May 5, but players can pick up a themed item, the Carp Banner, until May 7. A colorful carp banner costs 5,500 bells.

May Animal Crossing Day is also held in May. Just like last year's May Day event in New Horizons, players can purchase a special flight ticket at Dodo Airlines to travel to the maze island. If players can pass the maze, they can earn special rewards. The May Day Maze is available until May 7th.

And in May, Animal Crossing: New Horizons will allow players to take part in the International Museum Day at the Blathers' Museum, just like last year.
