So this lil guy is based on a polar bear...not entirely though since it would have been just a plain White Viscet.

Viscet name:
Ghiaccio, ice in Italian

Viscet Gender:
Female

Favorite Holiday snack and why is it his/her favorite:
Struffoli (they're always plural) are fried dough balls dipped in a honey syrup, shaped into a wreath, and sprinkled with diavolilli, a type of candy. Sounds (and is) quite rich, and is also probably extremely old -- this sort of use of honey as a sweetener dates back to the Romans.


Favorite Winter tradition:
Ghiaccio hails from Italy, and there are many traditional things she does during the holidays. In Italy...

The Christmas season lasts for 3 weeks in Italy. It goes from December 17 to January 6. During this time children go from home to home reciting Christmas poems and singing. In Italy, children wait until January 6, Epiphany to open their presents.The children's presents are delivered by Befana, a kind ugly witch who rides on a broomstick. Panettone is a traditional cake filled with candied fruit that is very popular during the holiday season. Manger scenes and Christmas carols originated in Italy.Christmas day is reserved for church, family, and feasting. Shepards come into the town and go house-to-house playing bagpipes and singing carols.

Ghiaccio loves to do all of the mentioned, but her favorite tradition is singing and reciting her poems. Her favorite song to sing is LA Befana vien di notte, or Befana Comes By Night, found here!. The song goes as followed, with some versions being longer:

La Befana vien di notte,
con le scarpe tutte rotte,
Col vestito da romana
Viva viva la Befana!

(ENGLISH:)
The Befana comes by night
In worn out shoes
Dressed like a Roman
Long live the Befana!

More about Befana:

In popular folklore Befana visits all the children of Italy on the eve of the Feast of the Epiphany to fill their stockings with candy and presents if they are good, or a lump of coal or dark candy if they are bad. In many poorer parts of Italy and in particular rural Sicily, a stick in a stocking was placed instead of coal. Being a good housekeeper, many say she will sweep the floor before she leaves. To some the sweeping meant the sweeping away of the problems of the year. The child's family typically leaves a small glass of wine and a plate with a few morsels of food, often regional or local, for the Befana.

Viscet name: Cirren
Viscet Gender: Male
Favorite Holiday snack and why is it his/her favorite: He loves the multicolored fruity candy canes, because he loves colorful, tasty things. His fur is so white and devoid of much color that he loves colorful things, so fruity candy canes catch his eye.
Favorite Winter tradition: To curl up with a snack under a blanket listening to scary stories, and occasionally watching the snow outside.

Viscet name: Klondike
Viscet Gender: Male
Favorite Holiday snack and why is it his/her favorite: Klondike loves frosted sugar cookies! He loves it because the frosting reminds her of snow *idk why 030*! he loves the soft chewy cookie and the sweet taste that makes him get goosebumps. He exclaims "I never thought Christmas could be in a cookie!"
Favorite Winter tradition: Klondike, every Christmas eve he goes out into the snow and catches snowflakes. Taking tons of glass slides outside she than glues the second slide on them all and puts them in the freezer! It preserves the snowflakes and they won't melt, even on a hot day! He has many sitting on his shelf, but he also has a microscope next to it so you can actually see, because than they just look like a bunch of glass slides..

Viscet name:
Cola
Image

Viscet Gender:
Female
Favorite Holiday snack and why is it his/her favorite:
Cakepops, but not just any cake pops. Oh no.....Cola has a deep love for holiday decorated cake pops, its like the decorations provide a whole new taste for them. Every year when it gets cold she'll take a day out of her schedule and make these cute little creations, spending hours on end decorating them till they're flawless. It's also one of her favorite treats because she used to make them with her mom when she was younger and it has always been a tradition in her family.
Favorite Winter tradition:
Going to look at all the pretty lights, like making the cakepops going to look at all the lights is a family tradition. She has with held it throughout all these years too, its the one thing that she never fails to miss. Usually a couple days before christmas Cola will go out and walk around some neighbors hoods, with a cup of hot chocolate in her hand. Every year she is amazed at the effort that some viscets put into their houses, it always puts her into the holiday mood!

Name; Lumi ("snow" in finnish)

Gender; female

Favorite Holiday Snack; Buckeyes (or peanut butter balls)

Why? Buckeyes are Lumi's favorite treat in the entire world. Her deep rooted love for the sweet and creamy treats goes all the way back to when she was very small. She was very little when she first had one, when she still had her grandparents, as her parents had passed shortly after she was born due to hunters. Her grandmother would collect these treats from humans than would slip through the tree hatchery near the forest. Carrying them back with to their family, and sharing them with the others.

Favorite Winter tradition; Her favorite tradition was always bounding out into the snow bright and early on the first snowfall of the season. Her grandfather would scoop her up and carry her through the snow with grandmother in tow, heading to their favorite spot. It was a hillside near the evergreen hatchery. There was a hundred or so year old pine tree that overlooked the hatchery and often the humans would venture up to carefully string popcorn, dried fruits and candies to, in order to celebrate the season. Or at least that was what her grandparents had always told her. But this pine tree was particularly special to her grandparents, for it was were they had first met, when they knew they would be together for life. Lumi still comes back and continues the tradition each year even though her grandparents are gone. She hopes that one day she'll be as lucky as they were, to meet her soulmate right beneath that old pine.
