Snow Biome

The Snow Biome is a type of Biome that was released in the Christmas update (1.1.1). It is completely made up of Snow Blocks, and is usually no more than some hundred blocks wide, and extends down to sea level (0 height). Throughout the year, it has a 33% chance of appearing in a generated world, but worlds created during Christmas holidays (December 15th through January 1st) will always include it.

When the player is in a snowy biome, as a cosmetic effect, snowflakes will fall from the sky (even indoors or underground), also; trees generated or planted in this biome will appear covered in snow.

The Snowy Biome has no monsters tied to it; while inside it, monsters from the surrounding biomes will spawn.

Even in worlds where this biome hasn't been generated it is possible to create it artificially by placing Snow Blocks or using a Snow Globe to summon the Frost Legion, that will leave a trail of snow during the battle.
