This is a guide to Christmas, a Festival held on Winter 25 in Rune Factory 5. Read on to learn what you can do with your romantic interest in-game on this day!

Christmas Guide

Christmas Basic Information

Christmas is a holiday that is similar to other events such as Beach Day and New Year. Outside of a date that you can partake in with your romantic interest in-game, there are no other events or contests during this day that players can participate in.

How to Go On a Date on Christmas

Must Already Be in a Relationship

Before attempting to go out on a date for Christmas, players must note that they must already be in a "dating" relationship with another character before they can unlock this unique Romance Event.

The option to even date for Christmas will not be triggered when players talk to characters whom they are not actively dating, which will result in Christmas Day progressing normally like a regular holiday.

Ask the Day Before

Christmas is a holiday that can be spent with a player's romantic interest in-game. In order for a character to go out on a date with you on Christmas, simply talk to them the day before.

They'll ask you out on a date the following day, which players simply have to accept.

Don't Be Late

The date with your partner will occur at 19:00 PM, near the Great Tree Plaza. Around that time, head over to the plaza within the hour-long period to catch up with your date. A cutscene will then occur, with their partner being left in their party after the date.

Other Things to Do on Christmas Day

Relax With Your Friends

As a "free day" of sorts for players to make do with as they wish, Christmas can be spent generally in the company of your friends. Give them gifts throughout the day to increase your Friendship Levels with them, or listen to unique dialogue that they'll say throughout the holiday.

Most characters on this day can be found in either the Great Tree Plaza area or the Festival Grounds.

How to Raise Friendship Level

Raid Dungeons

You can also use this day to go out and clear dungeons around Rigbarth. This will help to boost your skills and levels in preparation for the next dungeon that you unlock by progressing through the story.

Catch Up on Farming Duties

One final thing that players can do is to farm. Although players will have this just one day to catch up farming duties they may have not done before, plenty of stuff in relation to farming can actually be done in a day. While doing it on a holiday may seem counter to the festive spirits, it is actually the perfect time to plant seeds in preparation for harvesting them the following season!
