Confirmed! The Angry Birds Seasons Winter Wonderham update is coming this weekend! We’ve got some exclusive details, plus an awesome wallpaper to get you in the holiday spirit (above). Below are the details provided exclusively to us from the awesome folks at Rovio HQ:
- Holiday advent calendar: 25 new levels, one per day. This is what we expected, but it’s nice to have confirmation. We believe the levels will be released at around 12 AM PST (Pacific Standard Time), which is 8AM UTC.
- Snowy winter landscape under the aurora borealis. More info about the amazing aurora borealis can be found on Wikipedia.
- New ice element! We’re not sure exactly what this is, but we’re definitely intrigued! Maybe it’s similar to the snow found in the recently released Angry Birds Star Wars Hoth update.
- 3 secret levels to find. By “secret” levels we think they’re referring to Golden Eggs, but we will see.
- “Harbin” level, in honor of the Angry Birds Seasons theme park in the Ice and Snow World in Harbin, China. Now this is something I would love to see myself. Per ScandAsia.com, “Covering more than 600.000 square meters (the size of 84 soccer fields), Harbin Ice and Snow World is one of the biggest ice and snow parks in the world and hosts millions of visitors from around the globe each year. Twenty thousand craftsmen spend two weeks creating more than 2000 pieces of ice sculpture, using 180,000 square meters of ice and 160,000 square meters of snow.” Full article with details about Rovios participation can be found on ScandAsia.com.
Hope the pink bird appears in this episode!
i think she will be, if so, it will be interesting to see how her bubbles will work on the snow
Just so long as it works better than it did against ghost blocks!
Visions of Haunted Hogs 2-12 dancing through my head…
Awesome-ness! This is really going to be an awesome episode as always for Seasons! Kudos to ABN for getting this info ;D
I would like to see the Mighty Eagle for Android, although that would require quite a bit of time to go back and get TD on all the previous levels.
This is great!! And I think its 12AM PST…
Whoops, it is indeed. Sorry about that.
Tomorrow is coming.
But that wallpaper look like loading screen.
Most of them are.
Yay can’t wait I think they will add the pink bird in the update r they going 2 do an animated short 4 this like trick or tweet
The Pink Bird is already in Seasons.
Wow!!! This will be the most beautiful update for Seasons with aurora borealis :)
I’m guessing it’s more like the blue ice in the hoth update. You know, the ground that everything slides around on?
I think that as well. BirdLeader thinks otherwise perhaps.
Just out of curiousity, just what sort of speculation is he (BirdLeader) entertaining?
I fixed the HTML, @OObgular. For the future, you open with <blockquote> and must end with </blockquote>.
@Oobgular17 was right on target here! :)
Wasn’t Ice already in last year’s Wreck the Halls?
I don’t believe so. (Beyond the original ice/glass blocks)
I think he means the snow.
Actually, Ice blocks have a slightly different texture than Glass blocks and only appear in one size. However they seem perfectly alike a standard large Glass block.
I checked my Nook Color for a daily update, like I always do and the icon changed to christmas and there was an update. I have the first level!
@Anu-JeanJean Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to help you with walkthroughs until it lands elsewhere.
That’s fine. I’m trying to three star now. I’m currently at 117,230 with two stars.
I guess this means I’m un-jailbreaking mine then!
Ice is Nice can’t wait to pop some hammy!
hey guys! I made an IPhone wallpaper (on Paint!) using the image above. hope you enjoy it!

Nice work on the wallpaper to you and sal9. From the posts looks like an exciting new level in the tradtion of the Christmas season releases. Just went back through the previous two and cannot wait to down load this one.
I love this tradition! I can’t wait!
@amslimfordy, just downloaded it to my wife’s nook. The ice reacts just like the ice on Hoth. And the Norther Lights effect is pretty cool.
Thanks. I’m going to hold off on a full-fledged post for now though.
Indeed, looks like it is out on Nook now…
iOS not being first makes little birds cry :_(
@chucky: It would be nice if they rotated platforms.
3.1.0 is live on iOS!!!!
Yes indeed! PC as well.
@AMslimfordy: Cool! No wonder my updater is stuck in checking mode. lol There it is!
iOS has a new icon, that says Seasons now.
Yeah it is showing in my iTunes, alas it isn’t showing in the App Store on my iPad HD (so maybe it is the non hd version)
I found a change in gameplay in the new iOS update: now when Bomb explodes, Matilda’s egg explodes, or when TNT explodes, the screen wobbles slightly. The explosion also appears to rotate a little more sideways during an explosion. Just thought it was kinda cool.
@doodle-sandwich: Indeed! I notice the bomb has more power than before, too. :)
The Mooncake flip-flop has been fixed!!!!! :D
Actually the slippy-slidey ice isnt new. Look at Angry birds space level 4-9. Destroy the first bush, and the building will slip downwards!
We claim it is new within Seasons. It’s not new overall, since we specifically reference the Hoth update in Star Wars.
Oh, right. Wheres the last 30 levels of Bad Piggies on ABO? will it update 11th December?
We don’t know. Rovio is very secretive about updates.
Hopefully soon.
