What is Winter Frost Season (Fashionwave)?
Winter Frost Season is a multi-layer seasonal event featuring:
- A winter-themed event hub (NPCs + activities grouped in one place)
- Ice Skating (free skate + challenges + Dream progression)
- Snow-themed activities (event tasks and hobbies)
- Limited-time collectibles and rewards tied to the season
Event hub + NPCs in different locations
During Fashionwave, you'll notice that several NPCs appear in the event hub (or temporarily change where you usually find them).
Examples you'll likely see:
- Eric acts as an early event guide and kicks off key tasks.
- Harry waits near the rink to start the quest that unlocks skating at home.
- NPCs related to food, the event store, and activities are clustered in the hub (great for efficient routes).

Ice Skating: where it is and how it works
Ice Skating takes place in the winter venue in the Onsen Mountains area.
How to start skating
- Step into the rink area
- Switch to Skating Mode
- Use the action buttons to perform moves (and score)
Co-op skating with friends
You can hold hands with a friend while skating and help each other complete objectives — perfect for duo goals and smoother challenge runs.
Ice Skating Dream + Challenge Mode (progression and attempts)
Ice Skating has two layers:
1) Dream System (progression)
Complete Dream goals to earn rewards and unlock skating content (moves/items).
2) Challenge Mode (scoring efficiency)
Start a timed run with a target score.
Key rules:
- You earn 2 attempts per day, stacking up to a maximum of 10
- Failed attempts do not consume your chances
- Timing and combos matter a lot for high scores
Score tips:
- Link actions at the "perfect" timing window
- Use combo actions when your energy bar is full
- Mix in new moves for bonus points
Want to skate at home? You can
There's an event quest in the hub that unlocks ice rink flooring/material, letting you build a personal skating spot at your Home.
Great for:
- practicing combos
- photos/videos
- skating with friends without hub traffic
Free reward: 10x Draw (Time-Limited Exhibition Pass)
To celebrate the first Fashionwave, Heartopia sent a 10x Draw to all servers — and it's time-limited (valid until 2026/04/01 05:59, server time).
If you claimed it, use it before it expires.
"Special effects" when skating in different weather
Official posts and event cards hint that skating in different weather conditions may unlock unexpected special effects.
It's worth testing during rare-weather days — especially if you're hunting for unique screenshots, clips, or hidden collection checks.
