Holiday icon elements hit Nintendo Switch Online in timed waves
Table of Content
Nintendo has outlined a limited-time rollout of holiday-themed icon elements that can be assembled into custom user icons. The items are available to users who redeem My Nintendo Platinum Points. The drop is split into three time-limited waves running from December 4 through December 25 in Pacific Time. The icon selections are accessed via the Nintendo Switch Online app on Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch systems. Nintendo also notes that icon elements refresh monthly, so availability changes over time.
Release schedule – three timed waves
The holiday set is divided into weekly windows with precise start and end times. All dates and times below are listed in Pacific Time. Table: Holiday icon elements schedule (PT).
Access and rotation
Holiday icon elements are distributed through the Nintendo Switch Online app on Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch. The lineup of elements updates each month, meaning specific frames, backgrounds, or character parts may only be available during a given window.
Eligibility and requirements
- My Nintendo Platinum Points are required to redeem icon elements.
- A Nintendo Account is required to receive and redeem points; standard terms apply.
- Online functionality in the app requires a Nintendo Switch Online membership and internet access; availability varies by country.
