I’ve been absolutely hooked on the Fischmas event in Roblox Fisch this year, and let me tell you – it’s way more exciting than the previous version! When I first heard about the mysterious hatch that leads to the Cryoshock Cellar, I knew I had to figure out how to open it. After spending countless hours exploring every corner of Northstar Village and testing different strategies, I’m excited to share my complete Fischmas Guide with you.
This isn’t just another basic walkthrough – I’m going to show you exactly how to open that elusive hatch, catch all 29 exclusive fish, and maximize your rewards during this limited-time event. Whether you’re a seasoned Fisch player or just diving into the Christmas festivities, this guide will help you make the most of Fischmas 2025.
What Is Fischmas in Roblox Fisch?
Fischmas is Roblox Fisch’s annual Christmas-themed event that transforms the game into a winter wonderland. This year’s event runs from December through January and features a completely new area called Northstar Village, accessible via a magical train from Moosewood.
What makes Fischmas 2025 special is the introduction of the Cryoshock Cellar – a hidden area accessible only through a mysterious hatch that requires specific items to open. The event includes 29 exclusive fish, special fishing rods, unique quests, and an advent calendar with daily rewards.
I love how the developers have created this immersive winter experience with ice platforms to cross, festive decorations everywhere, and even Santa’s Workshop to explore. It’s not just about fishing – it’s a complete holiday adventure!
Why I Enjoy Playing Fischmas?
Let me be honest – I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first loaded into Fischmas this year. But wow, has it blown me away! There’s something incredibly satisfying about crossing those treacherous ice platforms in Freezing Waters, knowing one wrong move means instant death. The adrenaline rush is real!
What really keeps me coming back is the sense of discovery. Every time I think I’ve seen everything, I find another hidden quest or a rare fish I haven’t caught yet. The community aspect is fantastic too – I love trading with other players and showing off my latest catches, especially those shiny variants!
The best part? That moment when you finally open the hatch and descend into the Cryoshock Cellar for the first time. Trust me, it’s worth all the effort to get there!
How to Open the Hatch in Fischmas?
Alright, let’s get to the main event – opening that mysterious hatch! I’ve tested this process multiple times, and I can confirm it works perfectly. Here’s exactly what you need to do:
Required Items:
- Frost Moon Totem (Cost: 5,000 Bells)
- Two Fishing Essences (Any type works)
- Everfrost Key (Obtained through specific quests)
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Get to Northstar Village First
- Head to Moosewood and find the magical train on the southern shore
- Ride it to Northstar Station
- Cross the ice platforms in Freezing Waters (be quick – they break!)
- Reach Glacial Ridge and find the three igloos
- Purchase the Frost Moon Totem
- Enter Igloo 1 at coordinates (-7043.1, 150.1, -17931.5)
- Buy the Frost Moon Totem for 5,000 Bells
- This item is crucial for creating the right weather conditions
- Collect Your Fishing Essences
- You can obtain these through regular fishing or by completing quests
- Any type of fishing essence works – I used basic ones and it worked fine
- Make sure you have exactly two in your inventory
- Find the Everfrost Key
- This requires completing specific quests in Northstar Village
- I found it most reliable to complete Santa’s Workshop quests
- Talk to the elves and help them with their tasks to receive the key
- Locate the Hatch
- The hatch is located in Northstar Village near the central area
- Look for a metallic hatch embedded in the ground
- It’s usually surrounded by ice and snow, making it blend in
- Open the Hatch
- Stand near the hatch and use the Frost Moon Totem to create Frost Moon weather
- Place both fishing essences into the statue’s mouth near the hatch
- Insert the Everfrost Key into the lock mechanism
- The hatch will open, revealing the entrance to Cryoshock Cellar
Pro Tip: I recommend doing this at night when the Frost Moon weather effect is most active. I tried during the day and had to wait longer for the weather conditions to align!
Fischmas Fish Collection
One of my favorite parts of Fischmas is collecting all 29 exclusive fish. Here’s the complete list with my personal tips for catching each one:
Common Fish (Easy to Catch):
- Bauble Bass – Found in most fishing spots
- Bellfin – Likes clear weather conditions
- Candy Cane – No special bait required
- Candy Cane Cod – Slightly rarer than regular Candy Cane
- Carol Carp – Great for trading with other players
Uncommon Fish (Moderate Difficulty):
- Cryoshock Serpent – This one’s tricky! Try using Frostnova Bait
- Elf Eel – Found in deeper waters
- Fruitcake Flounder – Complete Fruitcake Frank’s quest for easier access
- Gingerbread Man – Cute and relatively common
- Holly Haddock – Prefers winter weather (which is always active here)
Rare Fish (Challenging):

- Merry Manta Ray – Needs Merry mutation for quests
- Northstar Whale – Shiny version required for Northwind Ned’s quest
- Santa Whale Shark – Merry version needed for Santa Shark’s quest
- Reindeer Ray – Shiny variant for Blitzen Barry’s quest
Ultra Rare Fish (Expert Level):
- Present – Use Magnet bait for better results
- Santa’s Present – Even rarer than regular Present
- Snowy Present – Shiny variant for Present Piper’s quest

My Personal Strategy: I focus on catching the quest fish first, then work on completing my collection. The mutations (Sparkling, Merry, Shiny) can be frustrating, but using the right bait helps tremendously!

Santa’s Workshop and Rescue Mission
One of the most exciting parts of Fischmas is rescuing Santa from his Workshop! Here’s how I did it:
Finding Santa’s Workshop
- Location: -8051.9, 189.6, -17840.3
- From the village gate, head to the back around the giant Christmas tree
- Look for a white-haired elf sitting near rocky platforms
- Jump up the rocks to reach the Workshop (Toy Factory)
The Elf Quests
Inside, you’ll find Santa and four elves who need help:
- Clumsy Elf – Collect 6 Wrapping Papers scattered around the Factory
- Lazy Elf – Find 3 small red Ribbons on the floor
- Short Elf – Collect 5 Stockings and hang them on the fireplace
- Bald Elf – Find his Hat upstairs (don’t look at him while he’s bald!)
The Big Reveal
After helping all the elves, talk to Santa again. You’ll discover he’s not the real Santa – the real one has been kidnapped! This leads to an epic rescue mission where you’ll need to navigate through ice caves and solve puzzles to save Christmas.
Reward for Success: The amazing Santa’s Miracle Rod and exclusive Christmas items!
