The new 2022 avatar items include 2022 Glasses, a New Year’s Headband, a New Year’s Jacket set, New Year’s Pants, and New Year’s Shoes. You’ll be able to grab all of these items from the in-game store if you want to show off your avatar spreading the New Year cheer.

It’s a brief event, so you want to jump on it while you can. The next event comes up a few days later, the Mountains of Power on January 7, alongside the arrival of Mega Aerodactyl on January 5.
