Frost Dragon (T1)
- Token Value: 126 Tokens
- Sheckle Value: 6.30M Sheckles
- Trait: Converts nearby Frozen fruits into Glacial fruits, gives a big chunk of XP to all other pets for each converted fruit, and selling Glacial fruit can copy one of its mutations to other fruits in your garden.
- Obtaining method: High level reward on the Season 3 pass (Christmas season).
- Best combo: Run Frost Dragon with mutation‑spread pets (like T‑Rex or Giant Ant) and Christmas mutation makers (Penguin, Mistletoad), so Glacial fruits both pump XP and push strong mutations across your whole field.
Arctic Fox (T1)
- Token Value: 93 Tokens
- Sheckle Value: 4.66M Sheckles
- Trait: Cold‑focused support pet that helps apply or enhance cold‑type mutations on your fruits, fitting perfectly into snow/Glacial setups.
- Obtaining method: Season 3 pass reward.
- Best combo: Pair Arctic Fox with Frost Dragon so Fox helps create or stabilize Frozen fruits that Dragon can upgrade to Glacial, then add a cooking pet (like Christmas Gorilla) to take advantage of all the extra cold‑type fruit.

Krampus (T1)
- Token Value: 26 Tokens
- Sheckle Value: 1.31M Sheckles
- Trait: Every few minutes, takes a slice of your sheckles and uses it to punish the nearest player, making it more of a PvP/control pet than a pure farming pet.
- Obtaining method: Very rare drop (around 0.05%) from Santa’s Surprise Present.
- Best combo: Use Krampus alongside strong money‑making pets (Golden Goose, high‑tier mutation pets) so you can afford the sheckle tax while still staying ahead of other players it targets.

- Obtaining method: Bought for sheckles in Santa’s Stash during the Christmas Harvest event.
- Best combo: Run Penguin with Frost Dragon or Christmas Gorilla so the Arctic/Frozen fruits it creates become Glacial XP bombs (Dragon) or cooking‑time reductions (Gorilla).

Mistletoad (T3)
- Token Value: 9 Tokens

- Obtaining method: Low‑chance drop from Santa’s Surprise Present.
- Best combo: Stack several Christmas pets in one garden and combine Mistletoad with Frost Dragon or T‑Rex; Mistletoad powers up one key plant, then the mutation‑spread pets copy those good fruits around.

French Hen (T4)

- Obtaining method: Moderate‑chance drop from Santa’s Surprise Present.
- Best combo: Park French Hen in a compact patch of Snow Bunny or other Christmas plants, then bring a strong money passive (like Golden Goose or Raccoon) so the bigger fruits translate into more profit.
Christmas Gorilla (T5)
- Token Value: 2 Tokens
- Sheckle Value: 112.32K Sheckles
- Trait: Every few minutes, finds a fruit with a cold‑type mutation and uses it to shave roughly 80 seconds off a random cooking pot.
- Obtaining method: Hatch from Santa’s Surprise Present (about 8% chance).
- Best combo: Combine Christmas Gorilla with Penguin, Mistletoad, Frost Dragon, or Arctic Fox so your garden constantly produces cold/Glacial fruits that Gorilla can consume, making cooking recipes finish much faster.

Snowman Soldier (T5)

- Sheckle Value: 23.63K Sheckles
- Trait: Periodically gives you a handful of snowballs to throw at other players; mainly a fun PvP‑style toy with very little economic impact.
- Obtaining method: Season 3 Game Pass reward.
- Best combo: Use Snowman Soldier alongside Krampus if you want a mischievous lobby control setup—Soldier for snowball harassment, Krampus for sheckle punishment, while your “real” farming pets handle profits.
Snow Bunny (T6)
- Token Value: 1 Token
- Sheckle Value: 14.52K Sheckles
- Trait: Every so often eats a carrot for bonus sheckles and gives XP to all bunny‑type pets in your garden.
- Obtaining method: Common drop from Santa’s Surprise Present (around 24% chance).
- Best combo: Pair Snow Bunny with other bunnies or XP‑hungry early pets so its carrot effect levels them faster, then layer in a money pet (like Raccoon or Golden Goose) once your core team is leveled.
Snowman Builder (T7)
- Token Value: 1 Token
- Sheckle Value: 11.55K Sheckles
- Trait: Still being refined; current info suggests building or interacting with snow‑themed structures, with limited direct effect on money or XP so far.
- Obtaining method: Season 3 Game Pass reward.
- Best combo: At the moment, treat Snowman Builder as a cosmetic/fun slot and pair it with Penguin or Snowman Soldier if you want a “themed” snowman build rather than a min‑maxed farm.

- Trait: Occasionally turns apple fruits into random Christmas gift cosmetics (several variants), focusing on collectibles instead of raw profit or XP.
- Obtaining method: Bought directly with sheckles from Santa’s Stash during the event.
- Best combo: Use Gift Rat in a cosmetic or role‑play garden; if you still want some value, combine it with pets that boost apple value or duplicate plants so you generate more apples to convert into gifts.
