Bells sit at the center of the Fischmas 2 event in Fisch. Every seasonal item in Northstar Village, from the Peppermint Rod to the Frost Moon Totem, is priced in this limited-time currency, and it disappears once the event is over. To get the most out of the event, you need a clean loop for turning your time into Bells.
All ways to get Bells in Fischmas 2
Bells only drop from Fischmas content. You can earn them in three main ways:
- Selling Fischmas fish to the Merry Merchant in Northstar Village.
- Completing Fischmas 2 quests for NPCs around the village.
- Opening Presents you pull up while fishing during the event.
Each method feeds into the others. Fishing fills your inventory with event fish and Presents, while those same catches often complete quests automatically.

The fastest and most reliable way to farm Bells is to dump Fischmas fish on the Merry Merchant. This is the only vendor buying event fish for Bells, and they only take Fischmas 2 Bestiary species, not your older catches.



The value of each fish scales with rarity, so good rods, bait, and luck boosts all convert directly into faster Bell gains.
Finish Fischmas 2 quests for flat Bell payouts
Quests in Northstar Village pay out Bells directly, often in larger chunks than a small batch of common fish, but each quest can only be completed once. That makes them ideal as an early boost or as a side task while you fish.
Typical quest flow looks like this:

For long sessions, it helps to clear all the “one-time” quests early. After that, you can ignore NPCs and focus on pure fishing and selling unless you happen to complete an outstanding objective.

Open Presents for bonus Bells and items
While fishing during Fischmas 2, you can hook special Presents instead of fish. These function like loot boxes: you open them from your inventory and they roll for Bells, bait, or other rewards.
There are several types:
- Default Presents — common drops that have a chance to include Bells but are not guaranteed.
- Snowy Presents — rarer, event-themed Presents that tend to give far more Bells when they hit.
- Mega Santa or Santa Presents — high-end Presents that are especially likely to drop larger Bell amounts.

Players who focus heavily on Presents, especially Snowy and Santa variants, can rack up thousands of Bells across a few dozen openings, but the variance is high. It works best as a supplement to consistent fishing rather than a replacement.
Route for farming Bells efficiently
Once you are familiar with all three methods, you can fold them into a single, efficient loop.

What to spend Bells on in Northstar Village
Bells can only be used during Fischmas 2 and do not carry over once the event ends. They function as a second currency specifically for the seasonal shop and unlocks around Northstar Village.
Some of the key purchases include:
- Peppermint Rod for themed fishing.
- Jolly Bait Crate and similar consumables that feed back into your farming loop.
- Frost Moon Totem and other big-ticket items and relics that are meant as long-term rewards for committed players.
Because Bells expire with the event, there is no reason to hoard them. Once you have a comfortable buffer for any remaining purchases you care about, start spending aggressively on the items that fit your playstyle.
Quick answers to common Bell questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Best repeatable way to earn Bells? | Fish for Fischmas 2 Bestiary species and sell them to the Merry Merchant in Northstar Village. |
| Do Bells exist after Fischmas 2 ends? | No. Bells are tied to the event and are not useful once Fischmas 2 is over. |
| Where to see current Bell balance? | Your total Bell amount appears below your main currency on the game’s main menu. |
The core loop for Bells is straightforward: catch Fischmas fish, clear out quests, sell everything to the Merry Merchant, and crack open every Present you reel in along the way. With that rhythm set, Northstar Village effectively turns into a trading post where your time on the water converts directly into seasonal rewards.
