Well spotted!

You've found today's hidden snowflake. As your reward, you've earned the following prize:

Large Honey Smoothie

This item has been added to your inventory.



But Wait, There's More!

It seems you've also won a snowball. Taking a closer look, you notice that something appears to be inside of it. Hmm... perhaps a trip to the NC Mall for some Melting Mittens is in order?

Holiday Snowball
This snowball is quite heavy. Perhaps there is something inside? You will need Really Warm Holiday Mittens from the NC Mall to reveal the item within.

This is like finding those treasure chests in the Krawk Island Event. You need NC to open it and get the prize.

The Really Warm Holiday Mittens cost 125 nc.

You carefully walk in and pick up a snowball from the pile of treasure, and then run for your life!!!!!

Golden snowflake and a holiday snowball for me from the hidden snowflake today. Guess this will be like all those locked chests I have that required NC to open... a hidden mystery forever. Too bad they're all no-trade. They should at least be NC-tradeable.

I'm assuming the mittens cool off after one use? I won a grape snowflake today, no snowball. Not that I mind. :) Today's was a bit tricky; I bet you'll see the snowflake pretty easily, but you might have to watch the animation more than once to click on it in time!

Yep, the mittens are one use and disappear after use. I bought the mittens and due to a glitch got a second pair from melting the snowball (it was suppose to give a wearable version).

TNT posted that we could keep/use/trade the free pair and they would still give us the wearable pair.

I am hoping to trade my 2 wearables for something else. I wont be melting any more snowballs, though. :)

I put up the snowball hint on the first post in case anyone has problems finding it.

Todays was tricky! It took me 3 attempts to click it. :oops:

Edit:

AC for the 5th - I love the nod to Christmas in Summer. :)

The snowflake isn't at the start of the animation this time!

I got a Small Roasted Chestnut Smoothie and another snowball.

Today's snowflake prize was a Grunion Brucicle. It might not have been at the beginning, but it was big, and it didn't disappear as fast as yesterday's! Daze, yesterday's also took me three times through to catch it.

I love the beach items TNT does every year. I love 'em even more when they're not expressly holiday-related. That reminds me, I wanted to submit my gallery to the spotlight by year's end... I should really get on organizing that. If I spend 15 minutes a day, I might be able to pull it off.

For me, the snowflake prize was a Super Ice Sword...

I always seem to miss out on the calender when it comes out, even when I'm obsessed with the game. Doesn't help that the season feels like most any other day either, so my festive spirit isn't too high. Grrr. :x

Liver and Onion Ice Lolly. Another gallery item, whee! Today I *will* spend 15 min. organizing the darn thing. Today's snowflake was... kind of obvious. It was just floating there, kind of out of place, even though it was only a side-view. With the snowflake prize, that makes 4 prizes today. Is anyone else starting to feel overwhelmed a bit by the sheer number of prizes given out, especially the one-time-only ones? Masks of Dread, GMC, now Advent Calendar... It feels like it never stops. And there are so many new dailies, too: Forgotten Shore, Governor's Mansion, negg puzzle, now battling... (Yes, I'm complaining about free virtual stuff. [/first world problems])

Glad I decided to get back into Neopets after two years by dropping by here, I didn't know anything about the hidden snowflakes!

Got a Fir from the one for today.

Super ice sword from the snowflake today; it's so super, it does 2 to 4 icons of attack and defense! Today's animation made me chuckle.
