Details
The Splatfest will take place over the course of 48 hours instead of the normal 24 hours. It will be 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 will be several changes unique to this Splatfest as part of the Christmas or New Year theme, similar to the changes for Splatoween: https://youtu.be/eIIyTNSGyGc
 * The in-game logo will show FrostyFest instead of Splatoon 2.
 * Inkopolis Square will have additional white and gold decorations in the shapes of icicles, snowflakes and stars.
 * The various stages will have have decorative stickers, graffiti, and other unique decorations.
 * Existing graffiti will be 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 will see snow falling.
 * Players' ink appears especially shiny, with glittering particles inside.
 * A special news article in the Nintendo Switch news will reward 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 will have different colour schemes (with Pearl's outfit being mainly gold and Marina's being mainly white).
 * Various in-game characters such as and  as well as jellyfish in the Square will wear party hats.

According to data mining, Fam vs. Friend will feature the 18th Shifty Station layout, "Dozer", which will feature Flooders. . The flooders will have a unique design and will have 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.
