Starting on April 1, 2020, players will be able to take part in Bunny Day by talking with Zipper when he visits your island. not only will you get to meet new characters, but you'll also be able to hunt down eggs and craft special egg-themed items for a limited time. The event will run from April 1-12, so make sure you hop in and enjoy it while it's here.

This isn’t the only free event set to make an appearance in Animal Crossing: New Horizons either. The game is also slated to receive another free update later on in April, which will help usher in new items and characters for players to meet up with and get to know.

This allows users to time travel in New Horizons as much as they want, without having to worry about spoiling all of the special items you can craft.
