Time to clean up some confetti! We hope everyone has partied themselves out, because the 2022 Ansvin Celebration has come to an end. Pinata Mania, as well as all other Ansvin-related activities, are being packed away until next year. The only exception is the Ansvin Pinata -- that'll continue to run until the end of the month!
Voting for the Annual Colouring Contest is now over, which can only mean one thing: it's time to reveal who won! Our community submitted some truly creative contributions, so everyone who submitted a colouring page will receive the 2022 Pinatas for their participation! However, only three Users will be receiving a trophy--as well as some other nifty prizes.
Third place goes to @rotundusbat! Great job! As a reward, you will receive:
- Bronze Contestant Trophy - Golden Competitor Stamp - An openable Pinata Item of your choice - 1 Party Snow Jar - 100,000 IcePoints
Second place goes to @Travis! Nice work! As a reward, you will receive:
- Silver Contestant Trophy - Golden Competitor Stamp - Ambiguous ICE Box - An openable Pinata Item of your choice - 1 Party Snow Jar - 200,000 IcePoints
And finally, first place goes to... @Elliesaur! Congratulations! You will receive:
- Gold Contestant Trophy - Golden Competitor Stamp - Ambiguous ICE Box - Mystifying ICE Box - An openable Pinata Item of your choice - 1 Party Snow Jar - 400,000 IcePoints
If you're one of the top three contestants, be sure to submit a Support Ticket telling us which openable Pinata Item you'd like to receive.
Tables are being wiped down, signs are appearing all over Terrafrost, and the Voting Booth is open once again. All of this hustle and bustle can only mean one thing! 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 January 31st at 23:59:59 to submit your vote. Winners will be announced on February 1st!

After a long day, what pet doesn't want to get cozy and drift off to a far away land? The clouds are puffy, the books are perfect, and the Dreamworld Audril is glad they finally have the opportunty to join this relaxed group.
To fullfill your pet's wishes you can try to restock the Dreamworld Audril Morphing Potion from the Snow Jar Igloo or purchase from the I.C.E Shop for 500 IC (450 for Gold Account Users). Hurry though, this deal will be going fast since it will only remain in the I.C.E Shop until January 31st 23:59:59 IcePets Time.
The storms have rolled in bringing loud booms and lightning streaking across the sky in anticipation. The Storm Makoat has received an updated look to reflect IcePets' current style!
If your pet is in the growing queue for this new look -- it is to crack open some Treasure Chests and try your luck. The Storm Makoat Morphing Potion, which has also received a new coat of paint, is one of several potential prizes found within the Treasure Chest. They can be obtained by making a single purchase of IceCash at $10 or more from our Support Site. If games of chance aren't something you enjoy, you can also purchase one from the I.C.E Shop until January 31st 23:59:59 IcePets Time.
If you're having trouble viewing the new changes, try doing a hard refresh using Ctrl+F5 on Windows or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac.
This weekend will be the time for some Book Quests, because the opportunities and rewards will be doubled until January 23rd, 23:59:59 IcePets Time. Be sure to stock up some literature while it lasts!

While many Terrafrostians kick off the new year with a splash of colourful paint, this new Novyn bears a vibrant appearance year-round. In other words, the Rainbow Novyn has finally come to Terrafrost! These beautiful Pets are simply bursting with optimism and energy. They even have a bit of an artistic side as well!
If you'd like a Rainbow Novyn for yourself, you'll need to get the Rainbow Novyn Morphing Potion! Like all Rainbow-Coloured potions, it can only be obtained when you complete its respective Jigsaw Puzzle. It will also be availiable in the I.C.E Shop for 500 IC (450 for Gold Users) until the end of the month.
Novyns aren't the only Pets in the spotlight today--the new Mythical Cobron, funded by @POURRITURE, has also made its grand debut! With their stunning appearances and bold personalities, you'll certainly want one of these Pets by your side.
Those who'd like their own Mythical Cobron should purchase a Mythical Snow Jar at the I.C.E Shop for just 500 IC (450 for Gold Users). They're always in stock, so there's no rush.
Pinata Mania isn't over yet! In fact, the game is about to get even more intense. Starting today, a new game will begin every fifteen minutes rather than the usual thirty. The game will go on until January 23rd, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, so get smashing while you still can!
If you've been considering joining the Colouring Contest, there's still plenty of time. Show off your creative skills and send your artwork to mochihugs before January 17th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time. There are plenty of prizes to be won, so give it your best shot!

Does anyone else hear buzzing? Don't worry -- it's just the wings of the beautiful Fairy Novyn, funded by @bibliopossum. Those looking for a new addition to the family are in luck, because this wonderful Pet is here to stay. These Novyns have a reputation for their kind and adventurous personalities. They also enjoy soaring through the skies of Terrafrost, so hold on tight!
Do you want one of these amazing Novyns for yourself? You'll want to hunt down a Fairy Novyn Morphing Potion. These can be purchased at the Snow Jar Igloo. Alternatively, you can find them at the I.C.E Shop until the end of the month for just 500 IC (450 for Gold Users.)
Observant Terrafrostians may have noticed a slight change in their 60s Dabu's appearance. Your eyes are not deceiving you -- we've simply given this Pet a fresh new look to kick off the new year! We've even changed up the name of the whole colour, so all of your 60s Pets and Items are now known as Groovy from this day forward!
If you're fond of the new Groovy Dabu, consider stopping by the Snow Jar Igloo and picking up its respective morphing potion. Alternatively, you can buy a Groovy Snow Jar (formerly 60s Snow Jar) and use it on one of your Dabus! The Groovy Dabu Morphing Potion will also be available in the I.C.E Shop for 500 IC (450 for Gold Users) until the end of the month.
If you're having trouble viewing the new changes, try doing a hard refresh using Ctrl+F5 on Windows or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac. A complete list of all Item name changes can be found in the IcePets Change Log.
Those new Pets aren't the only adorable new friends you're getting today. We'd also like to introduce the Guicean, funded by @Nexinhah! This adorable little Companion will be eager to join you on all of your mountain hiking journeys. Like all other Companions, you can find the Guicean at Jacobi's Companion Reserve.
If cuddly, collectible friends are what you seek, you won't want to miss out on the Rainbow Cobron Plush. Funded by @Travis, this beautiful toy will surely add a splash of colour to any Plushie Collection! Unlike most Plushies, however, this one is not part of any Quests and cannot be purchased in NPC Shops. Instead, you can earn this Plushie when you complete the Rainbow Cobron Jigsaw Puzzle!

We hope you didn't pop all those balloons you collected from Pinata Mania, because it's time to roll in some new prizes! The old consolation prizes have been replaced with brand new Items for the new year. If you want your chance to find them all, and perhaps collect some spares, you better get smashing! Pinata Mania will run until January 23rd 23:59:59 IcePets Time, so you'll have a chance to grab these Items until then.

It seems some Items from previous Ansvin events have made their way into local shops! The New Years Hat, New Years Necklace, Fireworks Earrings, Firework Ducky, and New Years Eve Rocket Stamp can all be found in their respective NPC stores. They will also be rewarded as prizes from quests!
One of the key components to celebrating Ansvin is smashing pinatas! The new 2022 Pet Pinatas are now restocking in all NPC shops (except for the Snow Jar Igloo and Golden Touch). Be on the lookout for the Baby Trido, Cottoncandy Ori, Crystal Cobron, Ice Audril, and Love Traptur Pinata 2022 Items. Crack them open to relieve some stress and tension, and walk away with a fun prize! Like the returning Items, these can also be found in Quest Rewards as well.
All of the Pinatas and returning Ansvin Items will no longer be available after January 23rd, 23:59:59 (IcePets Time) so be sure to get all the fun in awhile you can!

As 2022 rolls around, excitement for the new year spreads throughout Terrafrost. As a result, you can expect to see plenty of festive activities from fellow Terrafrostians; from casual pajama parties to black tie cheese-and-wine galas, the celebration of Ansvin varies greatly from person to person.
Celebrations of the new year have been around forever, but around six or seven centuries ago, the Novyns of Terrafrost created the beginnings of what we now know as Ansvin. As Novyns ventured into the wonderful community of Terrafrost, they brought some of their intriguing customs with them. Their exceptional wisdom inspired Pets of all species, so naturally, this yearly celebration has become more widespread every year.
To honor the role Novyns played in this holiday, you may see parade-goers on Ansvin Eve celebrating by wearing Novyn whiskers and tails, practicing traditional Novyn dances, and even flying paper Novyn kites down the streets.
The pinata also plays a notable role in the Ansvin celebration. These represent the negative feelings and events of the previous year, and by smashing them, you can symbolically leave those experiences behind. And of course, the prizes within these pinatas have a meaning as well -- they represent the good things to come in the year ahead!
Some Ansvin traditions can vary by region. Those living in Glacia or Snowslide Mountains may release colorful lanterns into the night sky, while others may throw colourful paint on each other. In Knollo Woods, some may wear two costumes over top each other, ripping off the outer costume at midnight to represent a fresh start. In the Misty Isles, it's popular to dive into icy water when the clock strikes midnight, and warm up with some hot cocoa and berry pie afterwards. Others may celebrate with something as simple as standing on a chair and "leaping" into the year to come.
No matter how you like to celebrate, there's something to look forward to this upcoming Ansvin. Be sure to make the most of it and start your year off on a positive note!
If you want to leave behind the sorrows of the previous year, a local Party Novyn named Archi has opened up a brand new feature -- the Ansvin Pinata. You can take your negative feelings out on this pinata once per hour, up to six times per day! Make sure you have some Battle Items on hand to take part in this activity.
You can also get some pretty nifty prizes from the Ansvin Pinata. Some of these rewards are items from previous years -- including pinatas!
Archi will keep this feature running throughout the entirety of January, so you'll have all month to take a swing at it. We hope you'll enjoy this new feature, because it'll be back next year as well!
Craving some more pinata-smashing? You're in luck, because Pinata Mania is back! A new game will begin every half hour, and it will end whenever someone clicks the winning pinata. And if you have a UHD, you can get shorter time between clicks, meaning more chances to win prizes. The game will be running until January 23rd, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, so start smashing while you can!
The votes have been tallied, and it's time to announce the winners of Member of the Month (MOTM for short)! For this month's Yet to Win MOTM, everyone congratulate...
Thank you for your continuing contributions to our community!
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.
While member votes were tallying for MOTM, Staff votes tallied for SOTM, and this month's winner is...
To acknowledge their contributions to the team, we've created the following Item in their honour! You can get this Item once a day by visiting the Staff Page every day this month.
Supercharged Tater
As we move into January, new Items can be found in the I.C.E Shop for the duration of the month! Head on over to pick up the new Too Far Back Ice Cube and Time Warp Trading Card. Each of these is priced at 500 IceCash (or 450 IceCash for Gold Members)!
We're also releasing the Ambiguous ICE Box, which includes the 2020 ICE exclusive Items. It's only 1,000 IceCash (900 IC for Gold Members), so if you missed any monthly items from 2020, be sure to pick one up!
Additionally, there are two more new items to keep a watch out for. Bottled Time is a must-have for dedicated Battle Shop shoppers! You can also get it as a reward from the Space Quest, and in a week, the Weapons Quest will be asking for it.
We'd also like to introduce the super-adorable Krittle Wrist Watch. You'll never lose track of time with this trendy watch on your wrist. If you'd like to get one of your own, you can pick one up at the Grooming Parlour today!
