Christmas in Cairo achievement

[Blaze Cummer]

In level 1 there is supposed to be a Christmas tree in front of the museum but all I got is a plain palm-tree. How do I get this achievement? Does the Cristmas tree come with a Christmas update or something? Help.

During Christmas Period that tree will appear. Not during the rest of the year before / after.

Try change the date ;)
Edit: Yep, as expected. Just move the date to 24 of December and disable internet connection.

lol really? That should be easy as pie :D

That worked. Thx a lot :D
Btw, I didn't have to disable internet.

:) I was surprised too.
For me SS3 was hanging when internet enabled. Probably some date sensitive application prevented SS3 from launch.

To bring the discussion back from the dead! Is it still possible to get this achievement out of christmas season? The method described above doesn't work (I moved the date to 25 dec 2013 and I got a validation error,in 25 dec 2014 the game runs, but there is no christmas tree).

Nope, the last winter there was an update to this event, and that also came with a fix to this exploit.

Thanks for the reply, I hope they reinstate the event this year!

If I understood right, they unlock this achievement every year on christmas.
