Dixie appears in the comic, "[[Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24]]". Dixie is sleeping in a palm and is suddenly awakened by [[Squawks the Parrot]]. Afterward, Diddy and Cranky explain to her that it is Christmas. After learning what day it is, she suggests to prepare a Christmas party, but, suddenly, she starts to shiver. The Kongs quickly discover that snow is falling from the sky, something Dixie and the others has never experienced yet. At the TV, the Kongs learn that the temperature has dropped all over the world and also that the president of the [[United States of America]] invites for a summit to find a solution to the problem. The Kongs decide to travel to the United States to talk with the president. Dixie and the others ride their [[Animal Friends]] to the nearest airport where they take the [[Jumbo Barrel]] to travel to [[Washington D.C.]].

The president tells them that a huge UFO pulling the [[Earth]] away from the sun is the cause of the low temperature. He provides them with a space shuttle, and with help of Cranky, Dixie and the others are launched into the aliens' space shuttle. At the space shuttle, Dixie, Diddy and Donkey Kong quickly notice the aliens look like them but bigger and green and blue. The Kongs learn that the aliens do not want to dominate Earth, and what really happened is that the aliens thought Earth was a giant [[Coconut]]. After giving bananas to the aliens in exchange of them returning Earth to its original temperature, the Kongs head back to Earth where they are hailed by the people for saving them. Back in the jungle, Dixie and the others finally celebrate a Christmas party. At the end Dixie enjoys the starry sky along her boyfriend.

====''Diddy Kong Pilot''====
Dixide is a playalbe character in all builds of ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot]]''.
In the very earliest version of the game shown as Space World 2000, Dixie piloted a red airplane resembling a stealth aircraft: specifically a F-117 Nighthawk. Dixie was intended to have a story mode called "Back to the Light", but no data outside of the title has been found.
In the [[Diddy Kong Pilot (2001)|2001]] build, Dixie now drove a red propellor plane with a white backside, similar to Diddy Kong's plane. Her story mode appears to have been removed with the others in this build, leaving only residual data.
In the [[Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)|2003]] build of the game, Dixie Kong now drove a pink and white plane. Dixie had similar stats to Diddy, but with higher acceleration and lower weight. This meant Dixie was decent top speed and almost the highest top speed in exchange for the lowest weight. The Dixie Cup would've been the first cup for Team [[Kremling|Krem]] and ended in a boss fight with Dixie Kong, where she attacked with machine gun fire and by dropping storm clouds behind her.
The 2003 iteration was eventually finalized as ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Pilot|Banjo-Pilot]]'' and she was replaced with [[jiggywikki:Jinjo|Jinjo]], as shown by their shared statistics, plane and boss battle.
