There are new ways to express yourself in Animal Crossing thanks to the new Winter Update that just dropped. It doesn't take much work to unlock the Hip Reaction Collection, but you'll definitely be happy when you do. This batch of eight new Reactions allows you to sit on the ground next to your villagers, excercise, have your character take pictures with their phone, and more.
Here's how to unlock the Hip Reaction Collect as well as a look at what each of the eight emotes looks like.

Your avatar whips out their phone and proceeds to take pictures of what ever is in front of them. If a villager happens to be in range, they will react to your attention. Blathers here was rather bashful in the spotlight.
Sniff Sniff

We now have the perfect emote for when we notice an exciting new lilly on our islands or when we want to praise our friend's flower garden. Just a few clicks and you'll stop and smell the roses.
Work Out

Instead of staring creepily at our villagers when they are busy working out together in the Resident Services plaza we can now jump in and stretch alongside them. This emote specifically has you alternating sides as you stretch your arms over your head.
Yoga

When you get up early on your island, head out to the beach and watch the sun rise while in the Warrior II Pose. It makes for a picturesque scene, that's for sure.
Here You Go

When you have something you want to give to a friend or one of your favorite villagers, just pull this emote out of your pocket. Radiant circles appear around your head and any villager nearby will react to your enthusiasm.
Excited
