Grow a Garden Christmas: Schedule, Times & Next Countdown
Grow a Garden’s Christmas event drops a festive wave of new content into one of Roblox’s busiest games — a garden sim that has pulled in more than 35 billion visits and keeps tens of thousands of players planting at any given moment (around about 23,000 are in game right now). The seasonal content arrives in installments, and each new part layers fresh seeds, pets, and limited-time rewards on top of the usual plant-and-harvest loop.
Rather than a single one-off, Christmas comes back on a steady weekly rhythm, with a new part going live each Saturday. The current installment, Christmas Part 3, is the one to catch right now, and the following drop lands on the same cadence — the next time and the usual windows are on the card below.

How often Christmas runs, and the times it goes live
Christmas runs on a weekly cadence — a new part roughly every weekly, always on a Saturday. Each Saturday it opens across two separate start windows so players in different parts of the world can all join at a sensible hour:
| Window | Start time (Eastern) |
|---|---|
| First window | Saturdays, 9:00 AM ET |
| Second window | Saturdays, 1:00 PM ET |
The two windows exist for the same reason most global Roblox events stagger their openings: a single launch hour that suits North America can land in the dead of night across Europe, India, or Australia. Spacing the starts a few hours apart gives more regions a workable slot. Both times above are in Eastern, and the page lists the same windows converted for the UK, Europe, India, Japan, and Australia. The next date shown is our best estimate from the event’s usual Saturday rhythm; we confirm it once the developer posts the next part.
What’s new in Christmas Part 3
Christmas Part 3 continues the seasonal storyline and brings a brand-new event to take on alongside the festive content already in the game. The highlights:
- A new limited-time event built around the Christmas theme
- More advent calendar rewards to unlock as the season rolls on
- Fresh seeds and pets to grow and collect
- Quality-of-life tweaks to the core gardening loop
The studio also runs an “Admin Abuse” session in roughly the hour before the update goes live, so it pays to be in game a little early rather than showing up right on the hour.
Tips for catching Christmas
- Pick the window that lands at a convenient hour for your region — the earlier 9:00 AM ET slot falls in the evening across much of Asia-Pacific, while the 1:00 PM ET slot suits North American afternoons and European nights.
- Set a reminder for Saturday so a busy weekend doesn’t cost you the opening.
- Miss a part and it’s not your only shot — Christmas returns the following week with the next installment, so the rewards keep coming cycle after cycle.
How Christmas fits Grow a Garden’s schedule
