Keep in mind, players who get the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Happy Home Paradise DLC by itself will be able to play it whenever they want.
While those who pick the Online Expansion Pack can only play it for as long as their subscription lasts. You won't be able to play the DLC if you're not able to renew your subscription once it expires.
But worry not! The save data for the Happy Home Paradise DLC is stored within the console. So, it's definitely possible to continue playing where you stopped after getting a subscription to the expansion pack again or getting DLC itself!
