Nintendo giving white Christmas tree?

So I just turned my 3DS on and then turned spotpass on. Nothing happened so I put it to sleep and then turned it on again. A blue light appeared saying an update was ready. I'm updating it now and it seems to be a decently large one cause it's taking some time. Dunno if this is gonna help the tree appear or not.
 
I did, but I only see the blue internet bar, is it spotspass? Some said to put the game on sleep mode but I only get streetpass. I am quite confused now Xd

Blue is spotpass which is via internet and streetpass is green which is via wireless/passing someone in real life.
 
Yep, got mine! I had to get the blue circle to appear on the game cartridge icon on the 3DS main screen by going to sleep mode for a sec and then going back to the menu. To whoever is having problems, try that. :)

turn on spotpass by going on acnl menu

Oh this too. You might have disabled spotpass for acnl. You need to enable it.
 
I already turn on spotpass on acnl. I think it has been on since I have started playing it few years ago. I try all the method:( I put it in sleep mode and shake it for few mins :| I even get some tokens from it too lol. But nothing works, every time I turn it back on, it switches from streetpass to Internet.

You want it saying internet because spotpass is via internet. Does your new leaf icon on the main menu have a blue circle on it?
 
white festive tree!

did everyone get theirs? i'm so happy they decided to release it in western areas too ^o^

No, I don't know why it doesn't switch to spotpass:| do you turn to sleep mode by close the DS?
 
Has anyone in EU got one from Nintendo yet? I saw someone on the Helping Friends Facebook page mention that they got one and they're in the UK, has anyone else?
 
I never got a blue light, but after putting the system in sleep mode and shaking it a while I got the tree and meow coupons when I logged on today!
