I didn’t go through the whole thread so some of these may be repeats. People already have a lot of great ideas.
To do a snow event without it being Christmas, an Arctic expedition theme would be cool, either modern or old style 1840’s. You could even do both by playing off time travel again or have the older expedition be found/rescued
An Old Films theme would be cool. A Trip to the Moon (1902), Charlie Chaplin, Wizard of Oz. If copyright is too much of a problem with some of that, maybe even an Old Film theme in general and you could start in black and white and end in color. Going the animated route would be cool too like old cartoons from the 30’s (Cuphead plays on this style).
A roaring 20’s theme with Art Deco designs. If you want to broaden the theme, you could make it about lots of art styles such as Rococo, Baroque, Impressionist etc.
Under the soil. This is more of a hidden world type of idea seeing Mushrooms, moles and burrowing animals, root systems- perhaps even add in fantasy elements like goblins or gnomes and hobbit holes. This could also work as a “shrunken” experience like The Hidden World of Arrietty, Thumbalina, the game Grounded etc.
People have mentioned heaven and hell, and I think Biblical angels specifically would be really cool on the heaven side. Lots of wings, eyes, and halos. Golds and whites and blues. Perhaps turn it into a celestial four elements theme with angels as air, demons as fire, and find other celestial creatures that can represent earth and water so that it’s not just a straight biblical theme.
