== Development ==
While the update was ready but callmehbob was unavailable to add it due to being asleep, fans of Royale High on Twitter posted excessively about wanting Barbie (callmehbob) to wake up, with the hashtag #wakeupbarbie, to the point that the hashtag and Barbie itself had risen to Twitter's "Trending" tab in multiple countries.

=== Cultural accuracy issues ===
The Lunar New Year/Chinese New Year section of the event was criticized by some users for being inaccurate and appropriating to the holiday, as it had many focuses on Japanese culture (which does not directly celebrate Lunar New Year) and its builds were designed around Japanese shrines, which also had issues with its use in this manner. Specifically, some stalls focused on Japanese dishes such as taiyaki ice cream and ramen, along with Bubble tea being included despite its lack of relation to Chinese New Year.
The Royale High developers had contacted someone to inquire on accurate practices, but some errors occurred in the communication.https://twitter.com/reddietheteddy/status/1360820788534800390 Some of the developers inquired for improvement suggestionshttps://twitter.com/jamjamjoo/status/1360805686947512320 and overhauled the Lunar New Year Celebration Area to be more accurate and respectful to the involved cultures. However, the changes were never added to Royale High before the event ended.
The Valentines 2022 event built off of the more fixed version of the Lunar New Year area, though still had its share of issues regarding limited showcasing.
