Use this month-by-month roster to find when an Animal Crossing: New Horizons villager celebrates a birthday—or to see which villagers share yours. It covers villagers only, not special characters. The date list follows Nookipedia’s New Horizons villager birthday roster, a community-maintained reference; no official Nintendo birthday roster was established.
Villager birthdays by month
Dates below are month and day. If more than one villager appears on a date, all names are included. See Nookipedia’s roster for the date-by-date reference.
The roster is presented as a lookup rather than a current villager total: the available sources do not establish a dated count or confirm whether a later game update changed birthday entries.

What happens on a villager’s birthday?
According to iMore’s birthday guide, the birthday villager hosts a party, and you can give them a gift. That guide also includes special characters, so it is broader than the villager-only roster above.
