» A Whole Bunch of New Plushies + A Friendly Reminder

Today's a good day for Plushie enthusiasts, because we're rolling out five new Plushies, all funded by @irissa. The Space Ori Plushie, Angelic Novyn Plushie, Toon Ridix Plushie, Ancient Sharshel Plushie, and the Groovy Jakrit Plushie are now all for sale at the Plushie Palace. You can also get them as a reward from the Book Quest, and starting a week from today, the Plushie Quest will add it to their request list. These adorable plush toys are just waiting for you to give them a big hug!
The end of the Ansvin celebration is drawing near, so here's a reminder that today is the last day for all Ansvin-related activities. By today at 23:59:59 IcePets Time, Pinata Mania will be closing up, and all Ansvin-related Items will be removed from the Shops. Pinatas will no longer be involved in any Quests, either. The only exception to this is the Ansvin Pinata, which will be available until the end of the month. Be sure to make the most of these features while they're still around!

We gave this Baby Pet a much-needed bath, and now it's fresher and cleaner than ever! The adorable Baby Dabu, as well as its respective Morphing Potion, have both gotten a brand new look to start off the year. Head on over to the I.C.E Shop to pick one up for just 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Accounts.) As usual, you can find it in the Snow Jar Igloo as well.
Two new Items are hitting the shelves today: the Corrupted Teddy Bear and the Wind-Up Heart Clock! If you're a Plushie or Toy enthusiast, you won't want to skip out on these. You can find the Corrupted Teddy Bear, funded by @smallsamoyed, at the Plushie Palace. You can also get it as a reward from the Book Quest, and a week from today, the Plushie Quest will begin asking for it. The Wind-Up Heart Clock, funded by @AceRabbit, is now available at the Toy Trunk. The Plushie Quest will also be rewarding it, and a week from today, the Space Quest will add it to its request list.
The first Questing Weekend of the year is upon is! From today until January 15th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, the questing opportunities and rewards for the Book Quest will be doubled! Be sure to stock up on plenty of literature while the opportunity lasts.

Time to sharpen your crayons and charge up your tablets -- the annual Colouring Contest has begun! Whether you're a traditional or digital artist, we'd like you to bring this picture to life with your preferred art medium.
Feel free to be as creative with this colouring page as your heart desires. However, we do have a few rules that all participants should keep in mind:
1. All work submitted must be your own. You cannot ask another User, a friend, or a family member to colour the image for you. 2. The contest is held anonymously. Showing your artwork to other Users during the contest will disqualify you. 3. Your image must be uploaded and sent to mochihugs by January 19th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time. It does not matter where or how you upload it, and your submission will count as long as it is sent within the time frame. 4. The contest is limited to one entry per user. 5. All entries must be considered appropriate under the Terms and Conditions of IcePets.
Once the deadline has passed, the voting phase will begin! Voting is entirely anonymous, and every Terrafrostian only gets one vote, so be sure to choose wisely.
Everyone who participates in the Colouring Contest will receive a set of the 2023 Pinatas! In addition, the top three winners will receive the following prizes:
First Place - 400,000 IcePoints - Baby Snow Jar - An openable Pinata Item of your choice - Puzzling ICE Box - Ambiguous ICE Box - Gold Competitor Trophy - Golden Competitor Stamp
Second Place - 200,000 IcePoints - Baby Snow Jar - An openable Pinata Item of your choice - Puzzling ICE Box - Silver Competitor Trophy - Golden Competitor Stamp
Third Place - 100,000 IcePoints - Baby Snow Jar - An openable Pinata Item of your Choice - Bronze Competitor Trophy - Golden Competitor Stamp
If you were getting sick of the old Pinata Mania consolation prizes, you're in luck. Starting today, this game will be switching over to some brand new prizes, so keep on smashing those pinatas!
The 2023 Pinatas have each received a new Item to their potential prize pool, as well as the addition of the openable Guitar Case. Due to this update, in the future we will be releasing the Pinatas at a more frequent rate in shops, and lowering the pinata mania cool down earlier than originally planned. This will hopefully enable users to stock up on pinatas and still get the new items they want! Keep an eye on the news for when these changes will happen, as well as a future giveaway link for a set of 2023 pinatas!
IcePets is currently hiring! We are looking for a new Item Artist and Writer to join our team. If you're interested in creating artwork for the site, please check our Support Site to apply!

When you're celebrating Ansvin, you can never have too many pinatas. This year's collection includes the Dreamworld Lugra Pinata, Glacial Novyn Pinata, Grey Zabeu Pinata, Purple Sharshel Pinata, and the Skeletal Krittle Pinata. All five of them will be restocking at all NPC Shops (except for the Snow Jar Igloo and Port Rakor). They'll also be rewarded by all quests! Whether you bash them open or keep them as cool collectibles, these new pinatas are a must-have.
Some old Ansvin Items have returned from hibernation as well! Keep an eye out for the Firework Ducky, New Years Hat, New Years Eve Rocket Stamp, Fireworks Earrings, and the New Years Necklace. They'll all be restocking at their usual respective stores. All of these Items will be going back into storage on January 24th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, so don't miss out!

There are pinatas everywhere you look, and the sound of upbeat party music in varying genres fill the air. Novyns in colourful pajamas, gowns, and masks are roaming the streets with an extra spring in their step. And to top it all off, a budding sense of ambition and accomplishment fills your chest. These signs can only mean one thing -- it's time to celebrate Ansvin!
Time to haul out your weapons! The Ansvin Pinata is now open for the month of January. To use this feature, you'll need to pick a weapon from your Inventory that you don't mind breaking. Then, you'll get to hit the Ansvin Pinata for a chance to win some old Ansvin-themed Items (including more pinatas!) You can take a whack at the pinata once per hour, up to three times a day.
Speaking of Pinatas, we'd like to let everyone know that Pinata Mania is now open for the season! To play this game, simply break a pinata for a chance to find a prize. You may find a consolation prize (which will be an older Ansvin Item) inside, and if you find a pinata, you'll be the winner of that round!
A new game starts every half hour, and ends when someone wins a pinata. If you have a UHD, you'll get to click every fifteen seconds rather than the usual thirty, so it's a great way to increase your chances of winning! Pinata Mania will be closing up for the year on January 24th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time.
Tables have been put away, signs are being taken down and the Voting Booths are closed until next month. Of course, this can only mean one thing! It's time to announce the winners of Member of the Month (MOTM for short)! Scoring the most votes for Yet to Win MOTM everyone say congratulations to...
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.
Deep Submerge Mirror
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 Wax Warmer Weapon and Heated Flokie Plush, along with the returning Incense Burner. Each of these is priced at 500 IceCash (or 450 IceCash for Gold Members)!
And if you're low on IceCash, don't fret -- we have something for you as well! The Redeem Hug Coin is now available at the United Terrafrost Post Office. We'd also like to introduce the Kale Chips, which are restocking at the Glacial Grocer. You can also get them as a reward from the Candy Quest, and a week from today, the Space Quest will be seeking them.
Finally, we'd like to let everyone know that the Puzzling Ice Box is now available as permanent stock at the I.C.E Shop for 1,000 IceCash. This openable includes I.C.E exclusive Items from throughout 2022!
