It's not exactly for free, mind.

The main difference from the typical Piñata Party, in addition to the festive decoration, is that imps appear dressed as the mythical "Leprechaun". Beating one of each gives you a Gold Coin worth 100 money. However, restarting a Piñata Party costs 1000 money, so it's not really for free.

What you DO get, though, is a surplus of money if you beat more than 10 Leprechaun-dressed Imps. Since they appear at random columns, they can cover for a Gargantuar or Buckethead Zombie, but they're no tougher than an Imp, so they're easy to beat.

That said: it's one of the few Piñata Parties that, while not difficult, it's better to lose than to win, the reason being that the cost of the restart is minimal compared to the amount of money you reap from the Leprechauns.
