FAQs
Q: Can I still unlock the free items after February 5?
No, all free toppers and the Cheesy Poofs decal are exclusive to the January 22 – February 5 event window and won’t return to challenges afterward.

Premium bundles typically rotate through the Item Shop periodically, but there’s no guarantee when it might return, so purchase during the event if you want guaranteed access.
