A snowflake floating during Winterfest, year unknown.
Winterfest is an annual event in Webkinz World that occurs between the months of January and February. During this event, snowflakes float around players' screens, which can be clicked on to earn winter-themed prizes.
Items[]
Since 2014, items from previous years reappeared: for instance, in 2024, the Snowman Lounger from 2023's Winterfest was a prize that players could win from the snowflakes they clicked.[1]
Beginning in 2013, the Winterfest Snowflake Cookie (later renamed to the Winterfest Cookie) could be purchased at either the Ganz eStore or in the W-Shop (via eStore points).[2] Feeding a pet one of these cookies would give players exclusive prizes that cannot be unlocked by clicking on the snowflakes.
