Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Wow, is it the 25th already? I can't believe it! And what a wonderful holiday season it's been. Everyone has been more helpful than I could have ever imagined. I simply have to thank you all for everything you've done to help me see this dream come true. There's been so much cheer, giving, and connection, I don't want it to end!
First, I want to personally thank every person who helped out to bring this holiday season to life. You'll find a special something waiting for you, even if you only had time to help a little bit -- I so dearly appreciate you lending some of that time to my tasks. For those of you who went above and beyond, I've added a few extra thank-yous to show how much this has meant to me.
I have to say, my favourite part of the whole thing was seeing how much a gift can light up someone's face. Every time I watched a gift getting delivered, the pure joy it brought gave me so much warm fuzzies. I got to thinking how much I would love to see this gift-giving spirit continue year round.
The other big news is so exciting, I've been bursting to tell you. Just wait 'til you hear! I’m opening an official Gifting Centre! You can visit any time throughout the year and I’ll personally help you set up Gift Boxes to send out. You can schedule gifts, send gifts anonymously, swap gifts, whatever you like. I have a ton of Gift Boxes to choose from!
I've spoken with Yogi -- you know, over at the Post Office -- about stocking some Gift Box Items. We've set up an arrangement, and from now on, you'll be able to pick up Gift Boxes from him as well, which you can pack and personalize! Then you can bring them to me at the Gifting Centre, and I'll hand-deliver them!
Oh, I can't wait to see the joy this will bring. I think, out of all the ideas I've had and tried, I've finally found my calling. My friends were right! Thank you again for helping me realize this dream, and I'm determined to continue it as a permanent feature here in Terrafrost!
Happy holidays, everyone!
Have you been excited to see what's under your Holiday Tree? Well, it's time to start opening those presents! You can visit your Holiday Tree to open all of your available presents. There's no rush, you can open these at any time during the next year.
Don't miss out on our Happy Holidays Picture Giveaway! You have the rest of today to participate and earn an extra present this year! Remember, all you have to do is post a picture of yourself, a pet, or stuffed animal, with a sign that includes 'Happy Holidays' and your Username so we know it's you. When you post your picture, remember to ping @Nati so she can send out your gift.

We’d also like to take this joyous opportunity to announce some new additions to our IcePets Staff as you may see some new names and faces above! Please join us in welcoming @Mimoso and @Megrim as our two new Editors to the Team! Additionally, the amazing @Quil has returned to fulfill their previous role as an Item Artist as well! Unfortunately, due to scheduling complications, both @Aer and @Atomicdrawls have also left the Team. We hope you all will echo our well wishes to them as they both will be greatly missed!
Looking for one last present under your tree?
For 24 hours after this News is posted, we'll be giving out an extra gift to anyone who posts a picture of themselves holding a sign just like Staff has done above! Please be sure that the sign includes 'Happy Holidays' and your Username so we know it's you. When you post your picture, ping @Nati so she can send you your surprise gift!
Don't worry if you're shy! A picture of your pet, favorite toy, or stuffed animal is also an acceptable entry as long as a sign with all the required information is included as well!

We've got a strange duo of new user-requested Items today!
First up, keep your Pets clean with this hand-carved Krittle Soap, which can be found restocking in the Grooming Parlour. It's also perfect as a decorative piece next to your sink!
The Nibbler may look a bit scary at first, but it can be very loyal if you treat it right. Keep an eye out for this odd little creature in the Toy Store.
Both of these Items were funded by @mochihugs! If you have an Item of your own that you've always wanted to see on IcePets, you too can request an Item or Item Bundle by visiting the Requests Page!
Tables are being wiped down, signs are appearing all over Terrafrost, and the Voting Booth is open once again. It's time to vote for Member of the Month (MOTM for short)! Terrafrostians can vote for up to 3 users to win 100,000 IcePoints and the Member of the Month Avatar.
Two winners will be chosen each month, one for the Free Vote MOTM, which includes all members except Staff, and the Yet to Win MOTM, which includes anyone who hasn't previously won MOTM. If you win the Free Vote and you have already won MOTM, you will receive an Honoured Member Trophy.
Remember!
- You cannot nominate yourself or members of staff. - Do not ask other users to vote for yourself or other members. - Send your nominations here!
You have until December 31st at 23:59:59 to submit your vote. Winners will be announced on January 1st!

I hope you're snuggled in nice and warm this winter, because there's a new friend just waiting to curl up and read with you — the new Dreamworld Trido! Whether you tell each other bedtime stories, stay up into the early hours, or fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow, this darling will be your sleep-time companion.
You can find the Dreamworld Trido Morphing Potion over at the Snow Jar Igloo, or purchase one for 500 IceCash (450 IceCash for Gold Accounts!) at the I.C.E. Shop.
Also, don't forget to check today's Advent Calendar before you drift off!

Settle in with some cozy blankets this winter, along with the new cuddly Dreamworld Xephyr! Enjoy some hot chocolates together by a fireplace while you dream about holiday dinners and gifts.
Get your own Dreamworld Xephyr Morphing Potion over at the Golden Touch for 400,000 IcePoints, or you can purchase one for 500 IceCash (450 IceCash for Gold Accounts!) at the I.C.E Shop. Sweet dreams!
If you have missed some of the older holiday Ice Cubes, you're in luck! These Ice Cubes have just been spotted in the Frozen Collectives Emporium. They are the Christmas Sock Ice Cube, Christmas Tree Ice Cube, Santa Ice Cube, Wreath Ice Cube, Present Ice Cube, and the Elf Ice Cube.
Get them while you can! These Ice Cubes may be Common, but they will only be stocking for the month of December!

Hello again!
These last few days have been amazing. I never would have guessed so many of you would volunteer to help me achieve my holiday wish of spreading joy and giving gifts. When I walk around outside, I see decorations and smiles that brighten up the scenery. I’ve seen presents change hands and everyone enjoying cheerful conversations. I am so lucky to be a witness to it all, and I have you and all my helpers to thank for making this happen!
I was really worried that I wouldn’t be able to pull off something of this magnitude, but I can see that this has impacted Terrafrost in an enormous way. I don’t think a thank you expresses the gratitude I feel toward all my helpers, and even the gifts I’ve given out so far don’t seem like enough. I know you have all taken time out of your busy schedules to make this successful, and that has made me want to give even more! In order to show how much I appreciate your generosity, everyone that helps will receive a small, additional gift from me on December 25th!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season so far. You have all proven that this is the month of giving and sharing. It saddens me that there are only so many more days left in December, but I hope that doesn’t stop anyone from spreading kindness when the New Year comes around. I still need a lot of help until December 25th, so please continue to look at the tasks I have written for you. Even if you don't make it through your whole checklist, I know you are trying your best, and no matter what, this will be a holiday to remember!
How I wish this could last forever! If only there were an easy way for everyone to send gifts all year round. But that seems like too big of an idea for one little Krittle, doesn’t it?

With the holiday festivities getting started in Terrafrost, everyone is busy spreading cheer and planning gifts. It's the perfect time to bring out everyone's Holiday Trees!
If you visit the Holiday Tree Page you can start sending gifts to your friends and family. Be sure to add a nice message along with your gifts! You can also see how many people have placed gifts under your tree. There's no peeking though, you have to wait until December 25th to open all of your presents.
In case you need a bit more holiday cheer in your life, you can find the Christmas Snow Jar stocking in the Snow Jar Igloo! It will be restocking throughout the month of December, so good luck getting your paws on one.
Just in case you can't wait to have your own Christmas Pet, you can buy the Christmas Snow Jar in the I.C.E Shop for 1000 IceCash, or 900 IceCash if you have a Gold Account. Stock up while you can, these will be removed from the I.C.E Shop after December!

Happy Holidays, one and all!
You probably haven't seen me around, so let me introduce myself. I'm Lahja, and I am always coming up with new ideas. My friends say that my ideas are all over the place and that I should just focus on one thing. So for the past few months, I've been dedicating all my time to planning a holiday season we'll all remember! But if this is going to be anything like I imagine it will, I can't do it alone.
When we think of this time of year, we all have different things that come to mind. I think about a festive assortment of food on the table, decorations everywhere that sparkle in red and green, the smells of holly and mistletoe all around, and opening gifts! Some people think about endless treats and candy and a white snow cover over everything — well, we have that year-round in Glacia, don't we? Mostly, it's a time when people like to indulge and put their feet up by the fire. But we shouldn't forget that it's also a time to be grateful for what we have and share what we can with others.
For the last few months, I've been collecting gifts that I think will bring smiles to the faces of everyone in Terrafrost. I am looking for helpers that will help me deliver presents and spread some cheer, so if you have some IcePoints saved up, maybe you can help me with some tasks. And, say, wouldn't it be great if we all spent a moment getting to know our neighbours? I would absolutely jump with glee if everyone was bursting with happiness by the 25th. But, oh, what is one Krittle to do? To make this a reality, I need help from everyone, including you.
I spent a lot of time planning and even made a schedule for each person. If everyone completes one task a day that involves spreading joy and giving to others, I think we can make Terrafrost a warmer place for everyone!
Now, where is that list I made? Hm, it doesn't seem to be here. Oh! Please don't get discouraged. I know it's somewhere. Why don't you stop by later, and I'll show you the tasks I've come up with. If you decide to help, I'll reward you for having such a generous spirit. Besides, if we all make this a season of spreading kindness and gifts, I know what you'll receive is worth more than IcePoints can buy!
