It looks like the Rainbow Traptur is fully embracing the newness of the year! Donning a fresh coat -- fresh splattering? -- of paint, this colourful and fluffy friend is ready to celebrate Ansvin!



Get your Pet in the Ansvin spirit with the Rainbow Traptur Morphing Potion, available as a reward for completing its Jigsaw Puzzle. You will need one of every basic Traptur Morphing Potion, so double check your Storage for any stray bottles! It is also available in the I.C.E Shop for 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Accounts until the end of the month.



Samuel thinks this is an excellent time to introduce the brand new Pastel Building Blocks set, and we agree! Thank you to @Zig for funding this delightful Item, which can be found restocking at the Toy Trunk. It may also be awarded from the Plushie Quest, and a week from now the Space Quest will begin requesting it.

What's that? You want more things to smash this lovely Ansvin? Well, the shopkeepers of Terrafrost agree, and are now stocking pinatas more often in all shops (excluding Port Rakor, I.C.E Antiques and the Snow Jar Igloo)!



It's also time to cast your vote in the Ansvin Colouring Contest! Make sure to get yours in before January 28th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time.



What's better than settling down with a cup of tea and a good book? How about a weekend full of Questing? From today until Sunday, January 21st at 23:59:59 IcePets Time, the Book Quest will be doubled! In other words, you'll have twice as many questing opportunities all weekend -- and double the prizes, too! If you're not familiar with the Book Quest or just need some help shopping, Penelope recommends reading the Book Quest Request List before you begin.

Happy Ansvin, everyone - we hope the new year has been treating you all well! To ensure as many goodies as possible are being spread throughout Terrafrost, Pinata Mania will now be starting a new game every 15 minutes (XX:00 / XX:15 / XX:30 / XX:45). A game in progress will not reset until someone wins, even if one of these times is reached. How smashing!



A reminder that January 18th, 23:59:59 IST is the last day to submit your entry to the Ansvin Colouring Contest! All entries should be sent to Tinkerbell. We can't wait to see everyone's lovely work!

It's important to follow your dreams, no matter how unlikely they seem... this Space Audril did, and look at them now! That's a whole planet! (Or an Audril-sized replica -- but really, who knows for sure?)



You can have a starry-eyed Audril of your very own with the new Space Audril Morphing Potion, which is always in stock at the Quest Store! It will also be available in the I.C.E Shop for 500 IceCash (450 if you have a Gold Account) until the end of the month.



What's this...? It looks like the Audril has an enthusiastic friend! Introducing the Angelic Traptur, this cheerful Pet is sure to lift the spirits of everyone who meets it. Just look at them! They are so proud! Of everyone!



Never want to be without this bubbly little friend? The Angelic Traptur Morphing Potion can now be found restocking at the Snow Jar Igloo, and it will also be available in the I.C.E Shop for 500 IceCash (450 if you have a Gold Account) until the end of the month.

Pinata Mania has an array of new consolation items! These pinatas sure seem filled with sweets of all sorts. Not all edible sorts, but sorts -- how sweet!

A note that we are aware Pinata Mania has been quite rambunctious lately. We have been rolling out attempts to fix it, and we appreciate everyone's patience! While we're wrangling pinatas...



We're also kicking off 2024 with a colouring contest! It looks like our Xephyr friend here has found the perfect way to get some peace and quiet and keep their ears warm -- and they have some curious visitors. Help bring their new year to life with some colour!

If your plushie collection was starting to feel a little scarce, or perhaps you just need a new friend to cuddle up to then @Kamisheru14 and @tae are your new friends! Kamisheru14 has funded the stunning Taurus Plush, Gemini Plush, Sagitarrius Plush, Pisces Plush and Virgo Plush! Although these new plushies are quite adorable, Tae wanted to share how cute our insect friends can be as well with the Hisser Plush! It is OK to admit you find this plush to be adorable as well.



All of these fluffy pals can be found restocking at Plushie Palace and as rewards from the Book Quest thanks to a shipment Patches and Penelope preordered. Keep in mind that in one week Samuel will be asking for these when you visit for a Plushie Quest. It is advised to stock up on some in advance if you like doing quests!



What's better than settling down with a cup of tea and a good book? How about a weekend full of Questing? From today until Sunday, January 7th at 23:59:59 IcePets Time, the Book Quest will be doubled! In other words, you'll have twice as many questing opportunities all weekend -- and double the prizes, too! If you're not familiar with the Book Quest or just need some help shopping, Penelope recommends reading the Book Quest Request List before you begin.

It looks like the shopkeepers of Terrafrost are joining in the Ansvin fun! From now until January 24th, 23:59:59 IST, the five 2024 Pinatas are stocking in all NPC shops (excluding Port Rakor, the Snow Jar Igloo, and I.C.E Antiques). You may also receive them as prizes from quests!



The shopkeepers are stocking all sorts of treats, not just pinatas! Head on over to the United Terrafrost Post Office for the New Years Eve Rocket Stamp, and to the Grooming Parlour for a pair of Fireworks Earrings!



The Grooming Parlour is also stocking the New Years Hat and New Years Necklace. Last, but certainly not least, is the Firework Ducky, available at the Toy Trunk!

These festive goodies will be available until January 24th, 23:59:59 IST.

Confetti and fireworks fill the air in abundance, carrying with them a sense of joy and hope. There is also a sort of calm, despite the many excited Pets running about and smacking pinatas. There are so many things to do, so many things to learn... ah! It must be a brand new year, which means it's time for Ansvin!



Have you got some Weapons lying about collecting dust? Put them to good use over at the Ansvin Pinata! This pinata is quite sturdy, so you'll need to have a Battle Item ready in your inventory in order to smash it open. This will break your Battle Item, so don't use anything you'd like to keep!

You may take a crack at it once per hour, up to three times a day. You may win some older Ansvin-themed Items, including pinatas!





Speaking of... it's time for Pinata Mania! To take part, just head on over and click whichever pinata you'd like to open. You may win nothing (a shower of confetti is always included, though!), a consolation prize of an older Ansvin Item, or a new pinata! If you are lucky enough to receive the latter, you also win the round!

A new round begins every half hour, and ends when the pinata is found. You may click a pinata once every thirty seconds, or once every fifteen seconds if you have a UHD, available at the I.C.E Shop.

In order to give everyone time to clean up at the end of the month, Pinata Mania will close on January 24th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time. Happy New Year, everyone!




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...

Next up, the winner of the Free for All MOTM, please congratulate...

As we move into January, we are switching things up for 2024! For the duration of the month, the I.C.E Shop will be stocking three returning I.C.E Items! Head on over to pick up the returning Mint Hot Chocolate, Zen Sand Garden Stamp, and Dreamy Music Box. Each of these is priced at 500 IceCash (or 450 IceCash for Gold Members)!



Low on IceCash? Don't fret -- we have something for you as well! Consider stopping by the Toy Trunk for the Purring Pillow! It'll also be rewarded by the Plushie Quest, and a week from now, the Space Quest will begin requesting it. We're also rolling out the new Heated Blanket! You can find it at the Grooming Parlour, and the Beauty King has already begun requesting it.



Missing some I.C.E Shop Items from 2023, and you'd like a bit more bang for your buck than I.C.E Antiques can provide? Grab an Incomprehensible ICE Box from the I.C.E Shop for 1000 IceCash (or 900 IceCash for Gold Members)! The Items you'll receive are random, but you'll get three of them!
