The New Year’s Update in Grow a Garden introduces a set of limited-time pets that bring powerful passive abilities to the Roblox gardening experience. These companions are hatched from New Year’s Eggs and are designed to boost crop value, trigger mutations, and provide useful bonuses with minimal effort. Understanding how each pet works and how to obtain them is the key to getting the most out of the event Grow a Garden tokens trading.

The Uncommon New Year’s Bird is the most common pet from New Year’s Eggs, with a 31% hatch chance. Every minute, it flies around the garden and launches a firework, helping to steadily trigger Firework-related effects. Slightly rarer is the Firework Sprite, which has a 25% chance to hatch and grants three Fireworks every two minutes, making it a reliable source of event resources.

At Legendary rarity, the Celebration Puppy has a 20% hatch chance and activates every four minutes. It has a 10% chance to dig up a random New Year’s cosmetic, making it appealing for collectors. The Mythical New Year’s Chimp, with a 15% hatch chance, activates every five minutes by grabbing a fruit from the garden and delivering it for a random bonus effect, adding a layer of unpredictability but strong utility.

Higher-tier pets offer more impactful garden boosts. The Divine Star Wolf has an 8.75% hatch chance and is widely considered one of the most valuable pets from the update. Every 20 minutes, it consumes a Moonlit-mutated fruit, howls, and calls down two shooting stars that apply the Celestial mutation to nearby crops. This mutation significantly increases crop value and requires little micromanagement, making the Star Wolf especially strong for long-term progression.

The rarest pet is the Prismatic New Year’s Dragon, with only a 0.25% hatch chance. Every 21 minutes, it breathes fireworks on 24 random fruits, applying the Firework mutation. In addition, every 13 minutes it consumes 80 Firework-mutated fruits to grant Dragon’s Firework Gear, a powerful item that can target pets or plants to trigger beneficial effects.

New Year’s Eggs are available only during the event and can be obtained in several ways. Players can purchase them from the New Year’s Shop by speaking with the NPC Paul at the center of the map, where eggs cost 1 trillion Sheckles or 120 Robux when in stock. Eggs are also rewarded through the New Year’s login streak, granting one egg on Day 2, three eggs on Day 4, and five eggs on Day 6. For those looking to complete their collection faster, eggs and pets can also be traded with other players in the Trading World.

The update also introduces Dragon’s Firework Gear, which plays a major role in maximizing pet and crop potential. When combined with pets and tools such as sprinklers, mutations can stack for massive value increases, including powerful combinations like Golden and Moonlit. Focusing on Divine and Prismatic pets provides the strongest benefits for late-game gardens, while trading duplicate pets helps speed up progression.

The New Year’s Update offers a well-balanced mix of accessibility and depth, rewarding consistent participation and smart use of pets and gear. By hatching New Year’s Eggs, prioritizing high-impact pets, and stacking mutations effectively, the event can significantly boost garden growth and leave players in a strong position even after the celebration ends.
