This article is about the Tapped Out's Winter content update from 2017. For other year's Tapped Out Winter content updates, see TSTO Winter Content Updates.

"Just like your parents’ marriage, the magic has left Springfield. The beasts are tamed, the evil sorcerer defeated, and the magical school is back to just… school. It’s time to put away the wands, spell books, and potions and return to a life of magic-less monotony. But what’s next for your town? An alien immigration? The return of the masonic messiah? Or maybe a generational division of lowest common denominators!

Stay tuned for more characters, buildings and stories coming soon!"

―Event teaser on app stores.

"The holidays are back in Springfield, which can only mean one thing: Kang and Kodos…? The alien duo arrive a couple months late with a nefarious plot to take over the world. Join Bart, Lisa, Buddha, Jesus, Santa and more to stop the alien invasion and save Springfield yet again. Sort of starting to think that gas leak we discovered in the writers’ room might have affected this update...

Update now for a Ho, Ho, HOLY good time."
