Hey there, fellow squid kids! Remember, Splatoon 3’s new Splatfest, Frosty Fest, is starting this weekend. Don’t forget to cast your vote if you want to join in on the fun.
Nintendo might have ended the monthly Splatfest tradition, but the event-specific battles are still going strong. Frosty Fest has returned to the Splatlands, and the current seasonal vote is asking, ‘What would make you happiest?‘ You can choose between Team Money, Experiences, and Presents.
The event begins tomorrow (11th January) in most regions, but North American players can participate later today due to time zone differences. Check out the exact starting times for your region below:
- North America: 4pm (Fri) PST / 5pm (Fri) MST / 6pm (Fri) CST / 7pm (Fri) EST
- UK/Ire: 12am GMT
- Europe: 1am CET / 2am EET
- Asia/Oceania: 9am JST / 8am AWST / 11am AEDT
Have a great time splatting, everyone!
Original Story
Monthly Splatfests may be a thing of the past in Splatoon 3, but Nintendo continues to offer seasonal events. Following Splatoween, the Frosty Fest is the next big celebration heading to the Splatlands.
As announced by @NintendoUK, the Frosty Fest Splatfest will run from 11th-12th January 2025 (depending on your location), with the theme questioning ‘What would make you happiest?‘ Players can choose between Team Money, Experiences, and Presents.
Furthermore, just like last year, the upcoming festival includes a set of free gear, featuring returning items from Splatoon 2. To claim your free in-game gear, access the relevant story on the Switch News channel.
