Fam vs. Friend

Fam vs. Friend, also known as FrostyFest, is a Splatfest event in Splatoon 2. It is being held for all regions from 2019-01-04 to 2019-01-06. It was announced on 2018-11-30 on social networks before the release of version 4.3.0. The results will be given on 2019-01-06.

Details
The Splatfest takes place over the course of 48 hours instead of the normal 24 hours. It is the second 48-hour Splatfest in Splatoon 2.

In addition to the normal changes at Splatfest time (central stage appearing in Inkopolis Square, all stages shown at night time), there are several changes unique to this Splatfest as part of the Christmas and New Year theme, similar to the changes for Splatoween: https://youtu.be/eIIyTNSGyGc
 * The in-game logo shows FrostyFest instead of Splatoon 2.
 * There is a new Match Start theme which is exclusive to this Splatfest.
 * Inkopolis Square has additional white and gold decorations in the shapes of icicles, snowflakes and stars.
 * The various stages have decorative stickers, graffiti, and other unique decorations.
 * Existing graffiti is modified, mainly by depicting characters as decorated with ribbons, bows, and snowflakes.
 * The sky appears to be overcast and outdoor areas such as the Square see snow falling.
 * Players' ink appears especially shiny, with glittering particles inside, similar to player ink in Octo Canyon.
 * Gold and silver confetti falls down at the start of matches.
 * Snow starts to fall on select stages on the last minute of matches.
 * A special news article in the Nintendo Switch news rewarded players with four unique pieces of headgear in the holiday spirit:
 * New Year's Glasses DX
 * Twisty Headband
 * Festive Party Cone
 * Eel-Cake Hat
 * and have different colour schemes, with Pearl's outfit being mainly gold and Marina's being mainly silver.
 * Various in-game characters such as and  as well as jellyfish in the Square wear party hats.

Music
This Splatfest has a unique, remixed Match Start theme, not heard anywhere else, which includes more wintry instruments such as bells.

Shifty Station
Fam vs. Friend features the eighteenth Shifty Station layout, "Dozer", which features Flooders. The Flooders have a unique design with candles and stacks of presents on top of them.

Trivia

 * This Splatfest was first shown in a commercial for the Nintendo Switch that was uploaded by Nintendo online before the event's official announcement on Twitter later that day.
 * The Inkling script on the Splatfest Tees shown in the commercial read "TRICK" and "TREAT" instead of "FAMILY" and "FRIENDS," respectively.
 * This also makes it the first Splatfest to ever be announced before its predecessor.
 * The announcement of Fam vs. Friend was most likely pushed ahead to before the Version 4.3.0 release, due to its unique decor and appearances being in the game files in advance, and previous instances of data miners extracting such information as soon as a new version is released.
 * Like Hero vs. Villain before it, the initial announcement for this Splatfest used longer team names ("Family" vs. "Friends") instead of the shorter versions that are shown in-game and in SplatNet 2.
