Nintendo loves to introduce real-life events as a part of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. We have already seen many holiday events such as Halloween, Festivale, and much more in ACNH.

Hidden features of Valentine’s Day in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Unlike most seasonal events, Valentine’s Day is more interactive and comprises a few more activities and secrets.
Exclusive Items
Valentine’s Day is a seasonal event; therefore, it also comes with some limited seasonal items. You can visit the Resident Services or open your Nook Shopping App to purchase these seasonal items. These items are Chocolate Heart and Heart-Shaped Bouquet both for 1,200 bells each.
Moreover, both these items are available in different variants. The Chocolate Heart comes in Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate, and Strawberry Chocolate designs. Whereas, the Heart-Shaped Bouquet is available in Red, Black, Purple, Pink, White, and Yellow variants.
Isabelle surprises players on Valentine’s Day in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Isabelle is a very iconic character in the entire Animal Crossing franchise. However, some users don’t like to interact with her or listen to her daily morning announcements in New Horizons. Regardless, most players look forward to Isabelle’s Valentine’s Day letter in ACNH.
Furthermore, the Valentine’s Day event letter will also contain a present in honor of the event. The gift will comprise either a Chocolate Heart or a Heart-Shaped Bouquet, which are the same items you can purchase from the Nook’s Stop.
Villagers
Several users complain that villagers in New Horizons are very plain and boring because of the lack of in-game dialogues. However, Valentine’s Day is one of the few seasonal events which involves villagers being a part of the event.

Other than Isabelle, your island residents can also gift you Valentine’s Day letters and gifts through in-game mail but with a catch. You will have to reach a high-level friendship level with your villagers or be their best friends. Until you reach the minimum required friendship level, you can’t receive Valentine’s special gifts from them.
