Golden Egg #2, or better known as the “Big Present” is unlocked after you obtain 3 star all levels of Angry Birds Seasons Greedings. Once you’ve accomplished this goal, tap the present in the middle of the Golden Egg screen to open up the level below. To obtain the star, fire a few Big Brothers into the left side of the central roof. Pummel the remaining pigs with one more Bro.
Note: Higher scores on this level are a result of the Santa Hat glitch. This glitch has since been fixed and thus is no longer possible. While we don’t have a video, the trigger was the Santa Hat atop King Pig in the middle of the level. To see which levels have the glitch, we have tagged them.

where is this level? I got the golden egg on 1-13 but don’t know where to find this.
Go to the level selection screen then swipe your finger to the left. The Golden Egg will appear next to the present. Once you pass the Golden Egg level a star will appear inside the egg.
I beat the 3-star golden egg! I hit it with one red bird in the middle, Santa hat glitch activates, and every pig is popped… got over 160k on that one… O_O Merry Christmas everybody!
After watching the video, got 186280 on completion, trying to somehow see if it’s possible to get over 200k
WOWWWWW !!!
Something exploded that wasnt even there, hit or a rolling pig, now thats going to be hard to copy !!!
Not going to stop me trying though ;)
Ive cleared it once so far at 88,670.
Off to keep trying !! ;)
AHHHHHH It goes off a Lot ! ;)
It just knowing its there, follow the above and you wont go far wrong, might take a few tries, took me a few to get the sequence right, my score has gone up gradually to 111,020 in a few goes since my last post !
NOW !! We are cooking piggies with gas !!
Up to 151,230 now, almost total decimation ;)
Thank you for the walkthrough Angry Birds Nest team :
201,910 now :)
I think I better go to bed !!!
Wow!
i don’t know if i turn out to be a yellow turbo bird…*gets launched by a sling shot*AHHH!!!
Got 182,360 after something huge blew up! So far so good…..
Any idea how to pop the yellow balloon on top?
Its a pot luck thing, none fo yorur birds will get that high, too well fed !!! You have to hope when whatever it is in the middle below goes off, (because I have yet to know what causes the BIG bang, it has gone off many times for me, but usually after everything has long since stopped moving), it throws debris up there and takes it out :
As with some of the earlier levels, the key to very high scores is to get the pig in the santa hat to roll. Do that and it explodes violently. My highest scores have come form achieving that effect and then tossing a high bird to clean off the top bar before the choas from the big explosion all settles down. I have been able to over 200K several times using that method. I am stopping now with a score of 208,290. Thanks to Rovio for such a fun, addictive game. Also, thanks to those who take the time to post videos and comments on this site.
For me, the key was to toss the first red bird so that it just skims under the white hanging package on the left of the screen and continues on to wipe out the right side of the stone structure. The next birds can the be used to slam into the left side to try try to get the hatted pig to roll. Then KABLAAM!!
Couldn’t resist another try. Got to 213,010. Used first bird to wipe out right side of stone structure. Second bird used to roll the Santa pig – during the explosion I quickly tossed a high bird and a low bird to “mop up.” When the dust settled the only things left undestroyed were two of the hanging presents and the presnt on the far right side of the high bar. A slightly better toss on the last bird would have wiped out the presnst left on the bar, but I think I am now offically done. :)
I got the KABOOM to happen on the 3 star present level, 172,000, but not sure if I got the star. The golden egg doesn’t have a star on it like they usually do.
I got 196k by landing a bird just above the centre but can’t recreate it.
I hit over 200,000 and seemed to complete it, But the star next to the completed level isnt highlighted.. Isnt there something we have to do to make sure it is highlighted when finished?? With this game in the past,If that star isnt highlighted, then it isnt totally completed..
Not sure what star you mean, but this level is a G Egg level, once you clear it, you have completed it, job done, then its just how high a score do you want, if you want to carry on, but it will not light any stars.
201,910 is my best, so far ;)
You can definitely get over 200,000. I did and I wasted my last bird trying to get the last group of packages :)http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt50/chrisnimon/Droid%20Life%20screenies/CAP201012290126-1.jpg
Grrr wrong thread !
Was saying, 201,910 is the best I have managed on the pressie level, although I used 3 birds to get that.
I must stop playing this level ;)
Just improved my highest score to 204400, which includes 2 birds remaining at 10K each!
I just reached 215,660 but I know 220,000 is possible and I’ve made it my mission lol. I’ll try again tonight :)
oh yeah, http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt50/chrisnimon/Droid%20Life%20screenies/CAP201012291634.jpg
I’m going to keep coming back to this level, but if I dont get a better score I wont care, its a real fun level :)
Well I’ve tried this countless times and there is NO EXPLOSION!!!! The highest I was able to get was 118K.
SORRRRYYYYY!!!!!!!
It looks like they removed this glitch from the latest version.
Anyone have trouble with this level on Android? Can’t seem to get any of the hatted pigs to blow up. That goes on all the levels but esp. this one. Any suggestions?
It looks like they fixed this glitch in the latest update so it’s no longer possible.
It looks like they fixed this ‘glitch’ in the latest update.
Well isn’t that my luck lolol!!!
Grrrr…I miss all the good stuff…that’s it! No more friends, family or fetivities next Christmas!! But seriously, it doesn’t seem fair that all players who compete don’t get the benefit of a glitch, why not leave it as is and let everyone in on the fun. OK, I’m over it, no more sour grapes lol.
So can we confirm there is no way to “light up” the stars on the big present…like in trick or treat? Is that just a function of the pumpkin lighting up like a jack o lantern?
Yes, exactly. The only thing that really changes is the opacity of the present.
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find high scores for this “big gift” bonus level which do not involve the exploding pig? I just topped my own record today, getting 159,200 without the exploding pig, and I was just wondering what the record is?
(Believe me, I’ve tried to get that pig to explode, but have never been able to do it even once! LOL)
The “Santa’s Hat” glitch was fixed long ago, so you can’t get that to work any more. The highest non-glitch score (I think) is 149,120, so yours is very very impressive. When the Seasons Golden Egg Numbering is fixed, I hope you will join us on that leaderboard.
Thanks, AMslimfordy! (I’m having a bit of trouble registering because I accidentally typed in the wrong email the first time.) But I did post a video on youtube showing the screen with the score.

If anybody knows a way I can screen capture the gameplay on my 4th generation iPod Touch without “jailbreaking” it, I would love to know how. (So I don’t have to post any more crappy webcam videos like this one. LOL) Thanks.
4th Gen? It’s actually very convenient. Whenever you want to take a screenshot, press the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously. Bam! Done. Newer iDevices are just so simple for that now.
Fantastic score, btw.
If you need something fixed with regards to registration just drop me an email through the contact form.
Thanks for the information, guys. I just tried the “sleep” and “home” button at the same time and it worked!
I did finally get the registration e-mail. (It took a few minutes, and I was just a bit impatient I guess.)
160,820! Finally broke the 160 thousand barrier! I used the screen capture and made a short video showing the screen as I was about to launch the final bird, and then the screen showing my score.
On the Big Present (ABS GE#2) – I just got 107350 with 3 birds!!! :-D
Somehow my high score on the “Big Gift” level got deleted, so I re-posted it. Again, here is the video, just in case there is an issue with verification or anything.

Users who only enter a small number of scores are periodically purged by the system.
Just to follow up, I would highly recommend entering at least four or five scores. It only takes a few seconds and will keep your safe.
OK, thanks for the info.
Anyone have any strategies for the big present level post-glitch based? It’s a real challenge for me to get over 115k. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks! :)
If you aim the first bird through the hanging present if you get the angle right it will go through into the main structure and then also knock the right hand piece of wood into the pile of presents. Second bird into the front pile of presents. 3rd bird high into the top piles of presents (do this now to ensure you get them) last bird to finish off.
I’ll give it a go. Thanks Laurence, you’re awesome! :D
Thanks Laurence, great help! Easily improved my score by 15k on the first try.
That’s an amazing strategy, Laurence! I would have had 153k a couple of times if one more pig had popped or I had remembered that the timeout of this level is too short to make a cleanup shot for points! But I’m still very pleased to score so high without the advantage of the glitch.
In what version has the santa hat glitch been fixed?
Was fixed in Hogs n Kisses.
Video demonstrating Big Present Santa Hat glitch with 176k
I vividly remember when this came out I was able to play the big box level without 3 starring every level. I remember that because I got the Santa Hat glitch and everything exploded. But now when trying to get back on the level I can’t. Was anything else like this ever reported?
I have all 3 stars in this and I still don’t have access to the big present?
There’s a couple issues with Wreck the Halls and Seasons Greedings in the latest update. Rovio has been informed.
I have the same problem. Any idea of dealing with it?
I too have 3 stars in all levels and still no access to the big present. :(
As I said…
Help! I have 3 stars on all levels,but nothing happens when I try to open the big present. Have I missed something. glitch?
Please see the posts above you, Kim.
Ok, I got 3 stars on each one of the 25 levels (75 of 75 stars in total), but I’m not able to get into the big present, it’s just laying there, without the stars, what should I do? Please help!
There is a bug in v2.5.0 that is causing this issue. Just hang tight for the time being. Rovio is aware of the issue.
Thanks, by the way, do you know if this update would be available for Android too?
I assume so.
I got 3 stars on all levels of seasons greeting, but the big present could not be released. I hope Rovio could fix all the bugs.
See my response above.
I see your comments above about getting all 3 stars in all levels of Seasons Greedings (Angry Birds seasons 2011) but I cannot open the big present. It just sits black with no stars. My Angry Birds addition is v2.5.1 and I play on my iphone. There are no updates available. Are people still having this problem or is it just me? Thanks!!!
Yes, these issues just arose in the “Back to School” update.
