Happy New Year, FarmVille Freaks!

It’s a brand new year and another year in FarmVille. 2012 was a whirlwind of events in FarmVille with so many market updates and features, at times it was even difficult for us to keep up with the pace. We saw the release of several new destination FarmVille farms which has become a  somewhat regular event in FarmVille occurring about every three months. There were many changes and upgrades (both good and bad) and more ways to get items for free if you were willing to do the work. All in all, a very busy year in FarmVille!

We hope that everyone has a healthy, prosperous, and happy new year filled with many blessings and fun on the farm.

Leave a comment on this post, and win a FREE Hasbro + Zynga FarmVille Old Maid game! We’ve also been doing some fun free giveaways, on our official FarmVille Freak Facebook Fan Page, so make sure you “Like” us on Facebook!

Contest deadline is January 4th 2013. Winner announced and contacted January 5th 2013.

FarmVille Plush Horse

FarmVille has said Goodbye to Winter Wonderland as we prepare our new farms in FarmVille Hawaiian Paradise. Winter Wonderland’s last and final quest ended last week and no new content is expected. So it’s time to celebrate the memories of Winter Wonderland with a FarmVille Holiday Plushie!

FarmVille Freak is giving away 5 official FarmVille Holiday Plushies to 5 FarmVille Freak users. How’s that? Easy! Simply leave a comment on this post, telling us what you liked most about your FarmVille Winter Wonderland farm- crops, animals, concept, buildings with purpose, quests, whatever suits your fancy. We will pick 5 random FarmVille Freak users and reward them with an official blind-boxed FarmVille Holiday plushie and all the perks that they come with (free Farm Cash & matching virtual animal).

Please note, although FarmVille Winter Wonderland’s new content is coming to a close, meaning that the storyline (and quests) are finished, the Winter Wonderland farm is NOT “ending”. It will not be taken away. The farm is always yours to keep and you can continue to farm as per usual there by working on your crops and crop mastery, as well as harvesting animals and trees.

FarmVille Freak “Say Goodbye to Winter Wonderland with FarmVille Holiday Plushie” Giveaway: 

• 1. “Like” FarmVille Freak on Facebook.
• 2. Leave a comment on this post telling us what you liked most about your FarmVille Winter Wonderland farm.
