Christmas is early this year: Monte Cristo is pleased to announce the release of our very special Christmas content pack! This new pack brings seasonal decorations and new lightnings at night, both to solo and online cities, as well as a few other changes you can find below.

Christmas decorations

The festive season has started in all cities and a series of decorations are automatically added to the streets:

• *  Electric decorations in the streets
• *  Christmas trees in city halls’ gardens and other buildings
• *  A Christmas market with an animated merry-go-round
• *  Santa Claus and his sledge

Night lights
When night falls on your city, streets now light up as a smooth glowing light falls from lamp posts and headlights from cars are turned on.
