The Grow a Garden Christmas event is dropping gifts left and right, but which ones are worth the grind? I've opened dozens chasing that Rainbow tier, and trust me, knowing the tiers and how to get them saves you tons of time.
Here's the quick rundown:
- There are 5 gift tiers: Common (120 Christmas mutated plants), Rare (175), Mythical (250), Gold (300), and Rainbow (450).
- Each tier has a different chance to appear, from Common's 52.63% down to Rainbow's 2.63% (based on the game's published spawn distribution used in community guides).
- You get gifts mainly by submitting Christmas mutated plants to Greg the Elf at the floating gift, or from the Samta’s Here weather event.
- Gifts refresh every 10 minutes, and you can skip a gift for 49 Robux or Trade Tokens without losing your streak.
How you grab these gifts without wasting time
Getting the best gifts in Grow a Garden’s Christmas event is all about timing and knowing where to go.
Step-by-step at the event hub
- Grow and mutate your plants until you have enough Christmas mutated plants for the tier you want (e.g., 120 for Common, up to 450 for Rainbow). This is easier if you use pets and treats to speed growth, as explained in our Grow A Garden codes article.
- Head to Greg the Elf’s floating gift location.
- Press E or F to submit your Christmas mutated plants. This triggers a gift drop with a random tier based on the tier chances.
- Wait 10 minutes for the next gift to appear. You can skip the current gift for 49 Robux or Trade Tokens if you don’t want to wait or want to try your luck faster.
You don’t lose your streak when skipping, so it’s a handy way to speed up the process.
Besides Greg, keep an eye on the Samta’s Here weather event, which randomly drops Christmas gifts too. It’s less reliable but a nice bonus. For other event chests like the Spooky Chest, check out our detailed guide on how to get the Spooky Chest in Grow a Garden.

Tips from my experience
I once skipped a Gold gift because I was impatient and ended up with a Mythical next: no streak lost, so skipping is a smart move if you want to chase higher tiers faster. Also, always fill your garden plots with Christmas mutated plants before submitting to maximize your gift tier chances.
Using pets, toys, and treats can speed up your plant growth and mutation process, so don’t forget to equip them.
In summary, the key to nabbing the best Christmas gifts in Grow a Garden 2025 is to keep submitting mutated plants to Greg the Elf every 10 minutes, use skips wisely, and watch for the Samta’s Here event drops. Happy gardening and gift hunting!
