Animal Crossing: New Horizons is easily one of the biggest games of the year, breaking sales records for Nintendo and quickly becoming a top game on the Switch. Many fans have taken their appreciation of Animal Crossing: New Horizons to the next level, creating art, videos, and other things to celebrate the game. Tiktok user alexkoza5 seems to be even more dedicated than others, though, as her family threw her a special Animal Crossing-themed party in honor of her 25th birthday.
In a TikTok video that has amassed over 53,000 likes at the time of this writing, alexkoza5 is surprised by a Dodo Airlines logo hanging on the wall in her house, and then by some presents that look just like the ones seen in the game, balloon and all. Alexkoza5's family even set up a Nook's Cranny shop in the backyard, and put fruit in the trees that could be retrieved by shaking them.
Taking things a step further, an Animal Crossing: New Horizons DIY recipe, tucked away inside a message in a bottle, was also waiting for alexkoza5 to discover. While there are many who may end up having Animal Crossing-themed birthday parties this year, it seems unlikely that many will be quite as impressive as the one thrown for alexkoza5 by her family.
