This article is about the Splatfest in Splatoon 3. For the Splatfest from Splatoon 2, see Family vs. Friends.

Friends vs. Family vs. Solo, also known as FrostyFest, was a Splatfest in Splatoon 3. It was announced on social networks on 29 November 2023. The theme was announced on 22 December 2023.

Details

Splatsville's unique decoration and other features for FrostyFest.

As a special Splatfest, Friends vs. Family vs. Solo is accompanied by several cosmetic changes to the game, as well as new gear:

• The logo on the title screen has been changed to the FrostyFest logo, similar to Splatoon 2's FrostyFest.
• Splatsville and Inkopolis Plaza are decorated with a winter theme. These decorations include a snow effect, snowmen sculptures, snowflake decals and winter clothing on the animal statues.
• In the Battle Lobby, when the floor is inked, white snowflake-shaped stickers appear on the floor, and stickers shaped like sea angels in bow ties appear on the walls.
• Deep Cut and the Squid Sisters wear special outfits.
  • Shiver's signature color turns to light ice blue, with her tentacles, eyebrows and shawl changing also. She wears matching eyeshadow in place of her usual red, an ornate black face mask featuring an octopus design, a black octopus tentacle ornament in place of her standard hachimaki, and no earrings. Her eyes change from red/light red to magenta. Her outfit consists in a black strapless dress with lace trim, leggings with a light to deep blue gradient pattern, black high heels with silver platform soles, a slim silver necklace and black opera gloves. Her shawl features a swirl pattern and appears significantly more translucent than usual.
  • Frye's signature color turns to pale yellow, with her tentacles and eyebrows changing to it; additionally, the tips of her fingers and toes turn light pink and the inside of her mouth turns yellow. She wears an ornate, pointy black masquerade mask, a small white top hat with a golden ribbon, a sleeveless yellow button-up crop top with black buttons, cravat and collar, and yellow flared sleeve cuffs with a black button; in place of her usual pants are glittery pants colored yellow on the left and black on the right, featuring a diamond hole pattern which reveals white leggings in place of the standard round holes, and flared white openings. She wears socks similar to her standard ones but with yellow soles. Her shawl is translucent black and glittery. Similar to Shiver, Frye does not wear her usual earrings.
  • Big Man wears a large black cloth floppy hat with a white coral ornament resembling a flower, and a black bow tie with white polka dots. He also wears a golden Venetian carnival mask which covers his eyes and has a prominent nose. His body turns darker, albeit still featuring the usual white stripe in the middle and wave pattern on his back, while his fins and feet have a gold, black and white glittery marbled pattern, and his tail features white stripes.
  • Callie and Marie wear matching white versions of their standard jumpsuit and dress, which now feature a swirl pattern. They additionally wear white knit scarves and gloves, as well as light grey sleeves and leggings. Their standard shoes are brown with light effects on the soles. All parts of their outfits typically affected by their variable ink colors glow in each of the three Splatfest colors in turns.
• Characters in the plaza and lobby such as Jellyfish, Staff, Judd, Murch, and Smallfry all wear blue, yellow, and cream party hats decorated with various patterns.
• A special news article in the Nintendo Switch news rewards players with four unique pieces of headgear:
  • Golden Gala Masque
  • Octopearl Crown
  • Coral Wreath
  • Dapperdasher Hat
• Music is added or modified for the Splatfest.
  • A special holiday-themed song, Yule Tide, plays in the Battle Lobby instead of Soak & Stomp. Crab-N-Go also plays a unique wintry theme.
  • The Title Screen has a new sound, along with the Deep Cut intro.
  • Anarchy Poisons is subtly modified for the Splatfest to add sleigh bells, and both Anarchy Poisons (Bird Mix) and Anarchy Poisons (Snake Mix) have some instrumentation removed from them.
  • Anarchy Rainbow is modified with more holiday-themed instrumentation and additional singing parts for Shiver and Frye.
  • Ego Overboard and Still Swimmin' are also modified.
• The Battle Opening is modified with snowflake patterns and frost appearing around the edge of the screen. Snow also appears to fall during the first few seconds of a match.
  • The same frost effect can be seen in Splatsville and Inkopolis Plaza.
• This Splatfest has a special ink variant, having a sparkly reflective texture that is dimmer around the edges. It is also noticeably thicker than regular ink.
  • These ink effects are not applied during mirror matches with the same team.
• The TV screens in Splatsville, Inkopolis Plaza and the Battle Lobby display unique videos related to the winter theme of the Splatfest.

The Tricolor Turf War stage for this Splatfest will be Crableg Capital.

Schedule

• Splatfest Sneak Peek: 5 January 2023 at 08:00 UTC to 12 January 2023 at 23:59 UTC

	Frye “Over a whole day of hanging out with your loved ones?! Count me in for family!”
	Big Man “Ay. Ay! (OR you could take some quiet time to chill and reflect. I'm going with no one!)”

	Big Man “Ay. Ay! (All my family commitments on top of studio work. And that's for starters!)”
Frye “You seem pretty stressed every year since you became head of your clan.”
	Big Man “Ay. Ay! (That's why a holiday alone sounds nice. I could make a dent in my book pile!)”

Frye “I couldn't get any family time at the end of the year, so I just wanna see 'em again.”
Frye “Little kids' cheeks are going unpinched! Hair untousled! My sisters better look out!”	Big Man “Ay? Ay. (Go easy on your little brother, OK? He seems ready to fight back.)”
Shiver “Sounds like you two already have firm plans for the holidays. But as for me...”	Frye “Are you gonna tell us what's at your feet? Someone forget to throw out the trash?”
	Frye “Hey! What're you doing with a bunch of half-off coupons?!”
Shiver “There's an explanation, I assure–”
	Big Man “Ay...ay?! (Three each for karaoke, bowling, and...an all-you-can-sweet buffet?!)”
Shiver “That's...sure...what it looks like.”
	Big Man “Ay? (Shiver...have you been planning a holiday for the three of us?)”
Shiver “What? Of course not! Those coupons at my feet could be anyone's.”
Shiver “Anyway! How about those Splatfest decorations in the plaza? Exquisite, no?”	Frye “Real smooth transition. Super believable.”
	Big Man “Ay! (We'll be dressing up in honor of the Splatfest, so come see us at our best!)”
	Frye “Apparently they're just handling out fancy Splatfest gear too! Come dressed to spill!”

	Ray “Ay. Ay! (Daarom klinkt vakantie in mijn eentje zo goed. Kan ik in alle rust eens wat lezen!)” (Ay. Ay! (That is why vacation by myself sounds so good. I can finally do some reading in complete peace!))
Haya “Als je 't mij vraagt, heb je in dit leven wel genoeg rare zelfhulpboeken gelezen...” (If you ask me, you have read enough weird self-help books in this life...)
Muriël “Ik heb al het hele jaar nauwelijks tijd gehad voor mijn familie, dus ik mis ze gewoon.” (I have hardly had time for my family all year long, so I am just missing them.)

Haya “Maar eh... Hebben jullie het plein gezien met al die Splatfest-decoraties? Mooi, hè?” (But uh... Have you guys seen the square with all those Splatfest decorations? Beautiful, eh?)	Muriël “Ja, ja, verander maar van onderwerp. Totaal niet verdacht.” (I don't believe you, but whatever, just change the subject. Totally not suspicious.)
Notes: Frye's ja, ja in this context means along the lines of not believing someone's word, but not really caring either way.
	Ray “Ay! (We gaan helemaal in stijl voor dit Splatfest, dus dat wil je niet missen!)” (Ay! (We go all out in style for this Splatfest, so you won't want to miss that!))

Pasquale « Avec tout le boulot qu'on se coltine, aussi ! On a des congés, mais jamais de vrai repos. » (With all the work we get lumbered with, no wonder! We have time off, but no real break.)	Raimi « Ay ! (À qui le dis-tu ! Je me suis plus reposé les nageoires depuis des lustres !) » (Ay! (Tell me about it! It's been ages since I rested my fins!))

Angie « Moi, j'ai pas pu voir ma famille ces derniers temps, alors faut bien que je me rattrape ! » (Personally, I couldn't see my family lately, so I really must make up for it!)
Angie « Toutes ces joues replètes qui ont pas été pincées, ces tignasses pas ébouriffées... » (All those pudgy cheeks which haven't been pinched, these unruffled hairs...)	Raimi « Ay. (Vas-y mollo sur le petit frère, Angie. Il a l'air assez grand pour riposter.) » (Ay. (Go easy on your little brother, Frye. He seems big enough to retaliate.))

Tu viens vider ta corbeille ici, maintenant ? » (What's those little papers on the ground? You're emptying your trash can here, now?)

	Raimi « Ay ! (On se mettra sur notre 31 pour le festival, alors ne ratez pas ça, les amis !) » (Ay! (We will be all dressed up for the festival, so don't miss it, folks!))
Notes: Big Man's French expression for "be all dressed up", "se mettre sur notre 31", doesn't have anything to do with December 31st (one of the holidays of the Splatfest), but comes from the dated word "trentain", referring to an expensive sheet sewn with 30 hundreds of threads.
	Angie « Des fringues de festival sont distribuées en ce moment même ! Sortez le grand jeu ! » (Festival togs are being handed out right now! Go all out!)

Trivia

• This Splatfest was the third special Splatfest in Splatoon 3.
  • It was the second special Splatfest event to cosmetically alter Splatsville and Inkopolis Plaza, after Zombie vs. Skeleton vs. Ghost.
• In the announcement dialogue, Shiver's coupons are references to previous dialogue by Deep Cut. An "all-you-can-sweet buffet" was mentioned by Frye during the Spicy vs. Sweet vs. Sour results, and bowling is a reference to Big Man saying the song Smeared Canvas was written for a bowling alley commercial in an interview from Splatune 3.
