Adopt Me Winter Update Black Friday Countdown: Exact Global Release Times and Every New Feature Revealed
Adopt Me drops a Winter-themed update on Black Friday, November 28, 2025, packing fresh seasonal items and unleashing a global Admin Abuse event.
Adopt Me is doing the whole Winter wonderland thing again, and they picked a loud day to do it: Black Friday. There is snow, a new Legendary ride, and a one-day-later live event with a name that sounds like a joke until you realize, no, they mean it.
When it drops
The Winter update goes live Friday, November 28, 2025 at 11:00 AM ET. It is a global rollout, so everyone gets hit at the same time. Here is what that looks like by region:
- USA (New York): 11:00 AM ET on November 28
- UK: 4:00 PM GMT on November 28
- Europe: 5:00 PM CET on November 28
- Brazil: 1:00 PM on November 28
- India: 9:30 PM IST on November 28
- Australia: 3:00 AM AEDT on November 29
- Japan: 1:00 AM JST on November 29
- China: 12:00 AM CST on November 29
What is actually in this thing
Adoption Island is getting blanketed in snow. Standard Winter vibes, but the team also says they will start sprinkling in hints for a larger Winter event after this hits. So, yes, this is the kickoff, not the whole show.
The new ride: Postie Van
The headliner is a Legendary vehicle called the Postie Van. Two key details:
1) Functionally, you can use it to treat pets with the 'ride' ailment.
2) You do not buy it with Bucks or Robux. Instead, you trade in 100 toys or pet accessories from your own inventory. If you have a stash of duplicate junk, this is your moment to clean house. The Postie Van lands on Black Friday alongside the update.
The 'Admin Abuse' event is the day after
On Saturday, one day after the update, there is a live 'Admin Abuse' event running on global servers. It starts at 12:00 PM ET. Show up on time, because the whole point is quick-hit rewards coming straight from the devs, and if you miss the window, that is kind of it.
Do this so you do not lose progress
When the update flips on, get out of the game. Servers go down during the push, and if you are logged in at that exact moment, you could lose progress. There will be a short window where you cannot access the game anyway, so just step away for a bit and come back after the dust settles.
In short: log out before 11:00 AM ET on Friday, grab the Postie Van by trading 100 toys or accessories, keep an eye out for the Winter event teases, and set an alarm for the Admin Abuse drop at noon ET on Saturday. Easy win if you time it right.
