Last year, there was a snow speech / quote bubble that showed up on the Winterbash page if you left it a while / played with the mouse in the right way. I've noticed that this year it's back:
Last year also saw the winter unicorn appear for some. Is the unicorn back too? And/or are there hints in the JS that it may return?
No. The snow unicorn is a rare and unpredictable creature. We couldn't lure it back to our JavaScripty lands this year. We'll always cherish the memory of last year's sighting, though.
Searching for it, I tried to ask some mod on the Tavern if they can confirm the existence of an egg but without much luck.
A quick inspection of the js code for the page shows nothing suspicious. Also, I have tried every key combo that come to mind to gather the snow, but again nothing worked.
Will update if I find out something.
Edit: just some random fact.
In my original question from the last year (the one quoted in the question above) I made a reference to Twilight Sparkle begin the unicorn in the snow.
This year we have an unicorn hat. Also, somebody found THIS in the hat sprite sheet.... go figure.
I searched the home.js file for some of the same bits of code that appears in the answer here about last year's unicorn, and sadly, I couldn't find the same code. This is rather difficult because of the minification, so I could be wrong, but either the code to display the unicorn has changed, or it will manifest itself other ways (like @SPArchaeologist mentioned).
