Quick-Start Guide to the Winter Frost Event
Once you reach D.G. Member level 7, logging into the game during the Winter Frost season, you’ll be teleported to Onsen Mountain, where the Winter Festival begins. Before you can freely collect items, you’ll need to speak with several NPCs to unlock event mechanics.
Key NPC interactions include:
Eric: Provides your first fireworks.
Blanc: Discusses penguins and the weather.
Azure: Introduces the Fashion Wave Store and its exclusive tokens, also talks about climate change. (A detailed introduction to this part will follow below.)
Masimo: Your go-to for new recipes and blueprints.
Blancc: Gives the quest to plant White Radish Seeds.
Vana: Unlocks the special Frostspore Fish fishing activity.
Fashion Wave Store & Event Currency
The Fashion Wave Store is a major highlight of the Winter Frost season. By completing daily logins, weekly challenges and festival tasks, players earn Fashion Wave tokens and exhibition passes.
Rewards include:
-
Exclusive winter clothing sets
-
New vehicles
-
Unique character poses
-
Furniture and seasonal decorations
Since the event runs for six weeks, it’s highly recommended to save your event currency for high-value limited items rather than spending impulsively early on.
Catch Frostspore Fish: Bait & Location
After speaking with Vanya, you can begin collecting Frostspore Fish at the Old Sea.
Important tip: To catch Frostspore creatures, you must buy Bait and use Chum, not the Mermaid Attractor.
-
Throw Chum into the water.
-
Cast your fishing line and wait patiently.
-
Bites may take 20–30 seconds, so don’t rush.
- It takes several attempts to tighten and loosen the fishing line to bring it ashore.
Confirmed Frostspore creatures include:
-
Frostspore Puffer Fish
-
Frostspore King Crab
Using Bait consistently produces better results than combining it with other attractors.
Winter Festival Recipes
Talking to Masimo unlocks several new winter-exclusive recipes and a blueprint for the Penguin Stove.
Initial Unlocks:
-
Penguin Stove Blueprint: Build this adorable cooking station.
-
Iced Coffee: A 2-click recipe served in a giant ice cube.
-
Frosted Pancakes: A 1-click recipe. Change ingredients to unlock Raspberry or Apple variations.
Advanced Dishes (After initial quests):
-
Steak with White Radish
-
Creamy White Radish Soup
-
Aurora Banquet (requiring all other dishes to be completed first)
Tip: Purchase Frosting and Ingredients from Masimo's cooking store.
The seeds cost only 10 Gold per pack and mature in 15 minutes, making them the perfect crop to farm for cooking.
White Raddish Farming
White Radish is the core winter crop, purchase more White Radish Seeds in the Gardening Store.
-
Growth time: 15 minutes
-
Cost: 10 gold per seed pack
Because of its fast growth and heavy use in winter recipes, White Radish is the most efficient crop to farm during the Winter Frost season.
Snowman Frost Bubble Locations & Rewards
Throughout the Winter Frost map, you’ll find Snowman Frost Bubbles containing furniture, materials, and cosmetic rewards. Some bubbles require creative movement, parkour, or using your bike to reach higher locations.
Here are all the locations:
Ice Skating Challenge
One of the most enjoyable Winter Frost activities is the Ice Skating Challenge.
How it works:
-
Perform skating poses and combos
-
Reach 1,800 points within 90 seconds
-
Unlock new skating poses as you progress
Successfully clicking poses builds combo multipliers. Continuously changing between different poses as they unlock is the fastest way to ramp up your score. You'll automatically unlock fancier moves like axels and spins as your points increase.
The goal is very achievable. Once finished, you'll unlock the Ice Skating Dream in your Dream tab for further goals and poses like the Sit Spin.
Onsen Egg Hunt
A total of 16 Onsen Eggs are hidden throughout Heartopia during the event, with one new egg becoming available each day. For more details, please see our other article How to Find Every Onsen Egg in Heartopia.
Conclusion
The Winter Frost season in Heartopia is one of the most content-rich updates so far, combining cozy activities with rewarding progression systems. Make sure to log in daily, manage your event currency wisely and fully explore the Winter Festival before it ends.
