The Simpsons: Tapped Out Winter 2014 content update/Part 2

Part 2 of the event began on December 24, 2014 and ended on January 14, 2015 for winning or buying event prizes and on January 18, 2015, all the rest of the items in the Store related to the event were removed.

The premise of the second part was to, after Santa warns the residents of Springfield that the partying elves will likely destroy their town with their Spring Break-like behaviour, bottle the Elves and shoot them out of a cannon. Upon collecting elves, they could drop Cogwheels which were used to upgrade the Elf Cannon. After shooting the Elves out of the Elf Cannon or from visiting friends you also earned which went towards unlocking Personal Prizes.

Friend Visits
Friends visits lets you get even more Bells, but, as of the Event, you get a limited amount the more friends you visit. After 40 friends you won't get any Elf Bells, just Money, XP and FP (or a chance at donuts if you are at max FP level already. However there're one great way of earning even more bells: Tap the cannons and tunnels! If you tap your friends' Elf Cannon and Elf Tunnels you get DOUBLE Elf Bells! So it becomes: You can only tap friends's cannons and tunnels if they started phase 2. While visiting a Friend's Springfield if one taps the Cannon Control Building they can check their Cannon's Level.

Episode tie-in questline
The full questline was deleted in the "Patch 1" update on December 5, therefore players only got the chance to receive Ice Princess Martin and Pt. 1 of the questline.
