There are a few Easter eggs that are recurring or interlinked in Stardew Valley.

Recurring Easter Eggs

Hats

Hats can be placed on...

• Children, horses, cats, and dogs. They can be removed by holding another hat and clicking on them again; that will pop off the old hat, but won't place the new hat unless you do it again.
• Rarecrow 3 (Alien). They can then be swapped with another hat, but can only be fully removed by breaking the rarecrow which drops both items.
• Sea urchins in fish tanks by holding the hat and clicking the fish tank. They can be removed by opening the fish tank inventory and taking the hat.
• Mannequins and Cursed Mannequins by holding the hat and clicking the mannequin.

Lucky Purple Shorts

Mayor Lewis' lucky purple shorts have a number of secrets.

• Putting them in the Luau soup gets a unique response from the Governor and Lewis.
• Putting them in the Stardew Valley Fair grange display disqualifies the player, and Lewis gives the player 750 star tokens as a bribe to keep his secret. Marnie also gives unique dialogue at the Fair after seeing the shorts in the display.
• Tailoring them with a gold bar produces Trimmed Lucky Purple Shorts. These are equivalent to the Lucky Purple Shorts for completing the quest or triggering some of the other secrets, but it can also be worn by the player for an amusing reaction from Marnie and Lewis.
• Giving Lewis Trimmed Lucky Purple Shorts to complete the "Mayor's Shorts" quest while he is visiting Ginger Island will cause him to wear them as beach attire any time he visits the island again for the next 28 days. This cannot be done with normal Lucky Purple Shorts.
• Attempting to gift them to Marnie gives unique dialogue.
• Placing a staircase in Lewis' bedroom gives access to a secret maze room with these shorts at the end. Attempting to pick up the shorts will spawn a cursed Lucky Purple Shorts that slowly attacks the player and is immune to attacks. This process is repeatable to obtain multiple shorts.
• Putting them in the tackle slot of a fishing rod changes the bobber style to a unique Lucky Purple Shorts bobber. If placed in the first slot of an Advanced Iridium Rod, the shorts prevent tackle in the second slot from losing durability. This cannot be done with Trimmed Lucky Purple Shorts.
• Lucky Purple Shorts can be placed into Fish Tanks as a decoration item. This cannot be done with Trimmed Lucky Purple Shorts.

Dove Children

Turning children into doves unlocks several Easter eggs.

• You may receive a mysterious telephone call: " _You place the receiver to your ear, and are met with a roiling, abrasive static. But wait... beneath it all, you can make out something else... an otherworldly voice... 'Y-O-U H-A-V-E F-O-R-S-A-K-E-N U-S'_". This no longer happens once you unlock the cursed doll spawn below.
• Watching TV on Fall 26 (the day before Spirit's Eve) and choosing "???" will show an Ancient Doll on the TV screen with an eerie message (" _You've brought this upon yourself... now I'm free... Hee hee hee!_"), and an Ancient Doll will pop out of the TV. Thereafter, a cursed Ancient Doll will fly around and attack players in front of the Dark Shrine of Selfishness. When slain, it will turn into a large black bird and fly away. Exiting and re-entering the Witch's Hut will respawn the doll. Killing this doll counts toward the Monster Eradication goal of killing 200 bats, and awards 20 Combat XP.
• On the Four-Corners Farm, players may catch an Ancient Doll once while fishing.
• If you've turned multiple children into doves, there's a 15% chance they'll fly past in formation at the Summit.
• Doves may appear at a Bird House placed on the farm after using the Dark Shrine of Selfishness.

Bad at Music

In multiplayer mode, if a player's randomized unique multiplayer ID (only editable in the save file) is divisible by 111, music they produce will sound off:

• The music emote will produce a random off-tune strum instead of one of the normal melodies.
• The piano in Elliott's Cabin will play off-key tones (F4, C5, D5, G#5) instead of the usual ones (B4, D#5, E5, F#5), and the other piano Easter egg won't trigger.

Feast of the Winter Star

If one of the following items is placed on a table or a long table before the night of Winter 24, the eve before Feast of the Winter Star, it will be replaced with a Mystery Box the next morning. If multiple items are placed on multiple tables, only one milk and one cookie will be replaced.[1]
