From November 16-25, you’ll be able to catch falling Maple Leaves just like you could catch Cherry Blossoms earlier this year. You’ll need to be on the lookout for large Red Maple Leaves and will need to use your trusty net to catch them. This guide is for Northern Hemisphere players only - folks in the Souths already had their chance to catch Maple Leaves earlier in the year.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Maple Leaf recipe list
Once you log in after November 16, Isabelle will greet you with a message about finding leaves and will give you your first recipe: the red-leaf pile. There are more Maple Leaf recipes to collect by popping Balloons, speaking with your islanders and looking for recipe bottles on your shoreline. To complete all of the November seasonal recipes, also need to be on the lookout for Acorns and Pine Cones, which you can currently find in-game by shaking trees.
