Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells welcomes the Yule Ball with special rewards and an unlockable Epic Yeti

Zynga has announced a festive new update for Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells, letting players join in on the celebrations in the festive "Yule Ball". The latest update to the colourful match-3 game also adds a Puzzle Pass Season that will showcase Hermione, Ron and Harry in their fanciest garb - plus, players can collect bountiful rewards and even download themed backgrounds as they progress through the event (and maybe unlock the Yeti!).

In Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells' latest winter-themed update, players can look forward to experiencing the special “Yule Ball” event from now until January 4th of next year. Additionally, the “Snowflake Collection Event” will run from December 21st to 25th, while the “Fantastic Beasts Celebration: Unicorn” will engage players from December 28th to January 1st.

Additionally, players can expect to score special gifts between Christmas Day and New Year, so there are plenty of reasons to indulge in some madcap merrymaking in the magical wizarding world this month.

If you're keen on experiencing all the holiday treats of the latest update for yourself, you can download Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells on the Google Play Store for Android devices and on the iOS App Store.
