99 Nights in the Forest is a survival Roblox game, where you need to survive 99 days in a forest from a vicious Deer and its cultists. With every update, the game introduces new events and content for players to grind, and the Christmas Update continues that trend.
In the Christmas Update of 99 Nights in the Forest, you take on the task of rescuing Santa’s elves scattered throughout the forest while the vicious deer hunts them down. By saving these elves, you unlock a variety of new rewards to use during your runs. So, to help you through this update, here’s a complete Christmas Update Guide for 99 Nights in the Forest.
How to Find & Rescue Elves in 99 Nights in the Forest

Santa’s Elves hide across the forest in secret locations. Because the map does not mark them, you must explore carefully, check every corner, and stay alert for hostile threats along the way. Moreover, each elf is trapped uniquely and requires a specific item to rescue. Below, we’ve listed all the rescue tools that you can get in 99 Nights in the Forest.
| Tool | Cost | How to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Ladder | 15 Mossy Coins | Use ladders to rescue elves in trees or elevated areas. |
| Ice Skates | 20 Mossy Coins | Useful for rescuing elves stuck in frozen lakes or in frosty terrain. |
| Shovel | 20 Mossy Coins | Use this to rescue elves stuck under a pile of snow. |
| Sled | 25 Mossy Coins | Use this for helping elves escape hostile situations (upcoming feature). |
You can purchase these rescue tools from Santa Sack, located near your campfire. To buy these tools, you’ll need Mossy Coins, which can be found by looting structures, buildings, or by defeating cultists.
When you interact with an elf using the correct item, they are freed instantly and reward you with a Christmas Present. You can open the presents and receive Candy Canes, along with bonus survival tools such as bandages, weapons, or food, which will help you in your run.
How to Get Candy Canes in 99 Nights in the Forest
Candy Canes can only be obtained by helping Santa’s elves. So, rescue as many elves as you can, as they reward you with a Christmas Present Box, which contains a random yet ample amount of Candy Canes and can also include additional loot.
Since there is no other reliable way to farm Candy Canes, you need to explore as much as you can during the Christmas Update. So, to explore more effectively, you need to pick strong classes from our class tier list. These classes help you clear hostile enemies faster, explore the forest more safely, and rescue more elves in each run.
