Merry Christmas!
The day has come to unwrap all the presents waiting under your Holiday Tree! There's no hurry, though, as you can open them at any time during the next year.
Next up, some big news -- our holiday surprise to you this year is a complete revamp of the Big Red Button feature! We wanted to design something that all Users could enjoy, while still providing a special bonus for our Gold Account members. Along with brand new artwork, we've given it a bit more story, made some of the most common Items available to everybody, and added a new set of exclusive Items for Gold Accounts!
The new Side Room can be found off a back room from Lahja's Gift Centre. They've been accumulating a stockpile of abandoned gifts that never found homes, so they are welcoming everyone who visits to take an Item with them once a day. There are currently two areas -- the Unclaimed Pile, where you'll recognise many familiar Items, and the additional Forgotten Room for Gold users, offering some old Items and some new!
Thank you to everyone who's helped bring IcePets alive this season with the sense of community and generosity. We wouldn't be what we are without you, the community! Whatever your traditions, we wish you health and happiness, and look forward to even more fun and adventure with you all in the future!

Several User-funded requests are throwing a dash of colour into snowy Terrafrost today.
Brighten your day with the new Rainbow Makoat Plush, which can be stitched together as a Jigsaw Puzzle like the others of its kind. Funded by @Nexinhah!
Marching into the ranks of the Toy Store are five new varieties of Ducky, funded by @Silvy: 60s Ducky, Ancient Ducky, Angelic Ducky, Baby Ducky, and Pirate Ducky. These will be requested by the Space Quest in one week.
Also funded by @Silvy is the delicious new Hidden Avatar, Dovulicious! Good luck puzzling this one out.
Have an idea for an Item or Avatar of your own? Check out the Requests Page to fund one!
Wherever you are in Terrafrost, head to the nearest voting booth and cast your vote for Member of the Month (MOTM for short)! Terrafrostians can vote for up to three users to win 100,000 IcePoints and the Member of the Month Avatar.
Two winners will be chosen each month. One lucky new winner will be honoured with Yet to Win MOTM, for those who have yet to be recognised for their community contribution. Then there is the Free for All MOTM, which includes all members except Staff, for those long-time members who deserve another tip of the hat. For those who have already won MOTM, you will receive the Honoured Member Trophy.
Remember! - You cannot nominate yourself or members of Staff. - Do not ask other users to vote for yourself or other members. - Submit your nominations here!
You have until the end of the month to submit your vote! And remember, you can submit your votes at any time during the month. Winners will be announced on the first of next month!

The snow has been falling all over Terrafrost. Sometimes it's soft and fluffy, and other times it's that perfect stickiness for building forts and snowmen. Some of the latter has started to build up on a few old snowy Items, giving them a fresh, sparkling new look!
Enjoy the revamped Strange Snowball (previously IcePets Snow Ball), Snow Crown, Snow Tiara, Snow Fort, and Snow Flower.

What better way to celebrate the holiday cheer than with a new Christmas colour for your closet! Our latest IcePet addition, the Lugra, rolled into the roster just in time for this happy season. Say hello to the new Christmas Lugra!
Like the other Christmas colours, this cool new look can be obtained by using a Christmas Snow Jar on your Pet. They will be stocking in the Snow Jar Igloo for the rest of the month, as you know, but that's not all -- from now on they'll be stocking more frequently.
Don't forget you can also purchase Christmas Snow Jars from the I.C.E Shop for 1000 IceCash(950 IceCash for Gold Account members)!

If you were worried about the chocolate collection remaining incomplete, worry no longer! Feast your eyes on the chocolatey incarnations of Terrafrost's newest IcePet with the Milk Chocolate Lugra, White Chocolate Lugra, and Dark Chocolate Lugra.
All three can be found at Sugar Rush now, and they'll be requested by the Candy Quest in one week. You can also purchase the Dark Chocolate Lugra from the Token Booth with the others. Enjoy!

Terrafrost's latest newcomer has inspired creativity all around. The lovable Lugra is receiving tons of affection, and we couldn't be happier. In honour of this new species, we have several User-funded requests today!
The luscious Lemon Plushie collection designed and funded by @mochihugs wouldn't be complete without the addition of the Lemon Lugra Plushie now stocking in Plushie Mania, awarded by the Book Quest, and will be requested by the Plushie Quest in one week.
And of course we are excited to add a new Hidden Avatar featuring the lively Lugra. Requested by @Silvy, enjoy deciphering the Ducky, Ducky, Lugra! Hidden Avatar.
Most exciting of all, say hello to the next new pose-changing colour, funded by @IcePrincess, the Baby Lugra, obtainable using a Baby Lugra Morphing Potion! This adorable addition will be crawling into the Snow Jar Igloo, but if it's too cute to wait, it will be purchasable from the I.C.E Shop until the end of the month for 500 IceCash (450 IceCash for Gold Account Users)!
And finally, today is the last day to enter our Poetry Contest! You only have until 23:59:59 (IcePets Time) today to submit a poem!

Oh me oh my, is it really that time of year again? Gosh, how quickly the year flew by! December is my favourite month -- everyone's generosity really shines, and I just love the holiday cheer all around! Nothing makes me happier than seeing other people happy. This year, I want to help fulfill dreams by delivering Users the Items they've been really wishing for. That's why I've set up the Gift Exchange.
At the Gift Exchange, every User can select up to two Items to wish for. These will be displayed anonymously, and you will be able to browse the Items other Users have requested. If you have the Item in your inventory, you can select to have it sent to them, and I will deliver anonymously on your behalf!
It's all about fulfilling wishes -- just imagine the smile on that person's face! And of course, with the anonymous system, there's no obligation associated. So please, give if you are able, don't fret if you're not, and keep up the holiday spirit!
If you are able to help fulfill someone's wish, you will be given a shiny new trophy for your profile! Thank you for helping make someone's day special.
Additionally, the Gift Exchange will only be open until December 31, 23:59:59 IcePets Time. So be sure to grant those wishes now, while the season is here!

The weather outside may be frightful, but the art around Terrafrost is delightful, and our hard-working artists have more revamps to unveil today! Two of the Christmas-themed Hidden Avatars have a clean new look for you.
Check out the Holiday Cheer(formerly named Merry Christmas) and Mistletoe Hidden Avatars! The methods of obtaining these avatars have not changed.
If you're having trouble seeing the new images, try pressing Ctrl + F5 (or Fn - F5) to clear your cache.
Additionally, you may notice more space in your bags! We have increased the default available inventory space to 150 Items for everyone and 250 Items for Gold Account members.

Weather is getting colder, sleigh bells are ringing louder, and the User Requests we bring today may just reflect the holiday season!
First off, we have three new Candypillar Plushies, brought to you by @IcePrincess! You can find the Peppermint Candypillar Plushie, Spearmint Candypillar Plushie, and the Festive Candy Corn Candypillar Plushie stocking in Plushie Mania starting today!
The Plushie Quest will start requesting these in one week from today, but the Book Quest will begin rewarding them immediately.
Next, the Super Ducky appears! Funded by @Silvy, you can see this Item flying through the shelves of the Toy Shop, and the Space Quest will start requesting this in one week, as well.
What better snack on a cold day than some... ice cream? Thanks to @mochihugs, we have just the thing! You can find the Bizarre Original Ice Cream, Bizarre Minty Fresh Ice Cream, Bizarre Multi-flavoured Ice Cream, Bizarre Cookie Crumble Ice Cream, Bizarre Sugary Sweet Ice Cream, and Bizarre Chocolate Deluxe Ice Cream will now be carried by Frozen Treats for the next time you need an icy cold... snack?
Seems like you will be getting them as rewards from the Space Quest immediately (except for the Sugary Sweet Bizarre Ice Cream), and they will be requested by the Snowman Quest in one week.
And finally, a rather dark new Avatar, brought to you by @Cowpro! The mysterious Darkness Falls... Avatar certainly sounds a bit foreboding. Good luck figuring it out!
If you feel inspired to request a new Item of your own, they are always available on the User Requests page.

For a new IcePet species to really feel at home in Terrafrost, there's nothing better than an armful of Plushies for them to snuggle.
You can now find Lugra Plushies in all fifteen basic colours: Black, Blue, Bluegreen, Brown, Cottoncandy, Green, Grey, Ice, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, Snowdrift, White, and Yellow.
All fifteen Plushies will now be stocking in the Plushie Store and will be requested by Samuel for the Plushie Quest. Sweet snuggling!

Simply head to the page, select the option to send a gift, and type in the username of the recipient! Under the tree, you can see how many gifts of your own are waiting for you. These gifts can't be opened until Christmas Day!

Both of these fantastic members will receive 100,000 IcePoints and either the exclusive Member of the Month Avatar, or, if they already have it, the Honoured Member Trophy.
