As a mysterious vine begins to grow in the Inklands, an Elsa glimmer attempts to stop its growth with her mystical powers. However, this inadvertently causes a winter storm to blow through the realm. In this adventure, you’ll not only happen upon this incredible Ice Artisan, but other glimmers donning crisp new looks.

These wintry conditions are perfect for these unlikely friends to embark on a new adventure. Scamper around the snowbanks with them, and you may even run into glimmers of Big Mama, Vixey, Boomer, Dinky, and the ever-caring Widow Tweed.

In the magical realm of Lorcana, you’ll work with your team of characters in a race for prized story stars.
