The Simpsons: Tapped Out Winter 2014 content update/Part 1

Part 1 of the event began on December 3, 2014, and lasted until December 24, 2014.

The premise of the first part was to send Elves and other characters on tasks at the Toy Workshop to earn, the currency of this event, which went towards completing Personal Prizes; the storyline focusing on the residents of Springfield helping to produce enough presents in time for Christmas. There was also Santa's Daily Tasks, where each day a new Tunnel will open up (of the Elf Cave), and you have to complete the tasks within that tunnel to earn a prize, which is different depending on which items you have obtained. This phase ended on December 24, 2014 (Christmas Eve) at 5pm (GMT).

Toy Workshop
The Toy Workshop is where characters complete quests and Tunnel tasks to earn in Part 1. These are the characters that can work there:

Feds
The ability to release Feds into other Springfields is unlocked during Pixie Plight. In a friend's town, a button appears in the top-right corner of the screen, offering you a chance to send 3 Feds to their town, using up your daily actions.

After tapping on a Fed, it sprouts, , and , and also the text "Bye Bye Federal Agent Called by [player name]" appears. [player name] is the player which released that Fed into your town. After finding all Feds a system message appears reading: "All Feds have been driven away, your town is safe. For now..." Whenever Feds are sent into your Springfield, a device notification is pushed, reading: "Your friends have sent the Feds to your Springfield. Thwart them to earn some Presents!"

They're still subject to the limit of taps that give out Presents. The max number of Feds in a town at the same time is 20. You can't receive anymore if you reach the limit and you can't place anymore in friend's towns if they reached the limit too.

Santa's Daily Tasks
Santa's Daily Tasks are mini-quests that when completed award you with two prizes and if completed within 24 hours of starting the first task,. There are nineteen tunnels in total.

The tasks later on require the one previous to be completed, and the cash reward for which needs to be fully collected. For example, Task 3 needs Task 2 to be completed and the cash reward collected before it is unlocked in the Tunnel menu.

This aspect of the event is akin to the Riddles aspect of the event. The final tunnel was unlocked on December 20, 2014

Completing all tasks unlocks an "exclusive character", Zutroy. A new tunnel was unlocked every day at 8am GMT.

There was a glitch with Santa's Daily Tasks where pressing the button in the top-right corner or the Elf Cave won't make anything appear after first logging on after a new Tunnel was unlocked. Visiting Krustyland or the friends menu then returning seems to fix this glitch, which seems to have appeared after the "Patch 1"/"Patch 2" update. There was also a report of Elves received from completing the tunnels not appearing.
