Snowsettia

Snowsettia is a special-edition event plant introduced in Plants vs. Zombies 2 and released for the Feastivus 2020 contest as well as the plant featured in Snowsettia's Deck the Halls Tournament.
Snowsettia will lob an arcing snowball projectile at the zombies, doing incredibly light damage to the zombies and slowing them down with an icy effect that puts out fires from Explorer Zombies while also covering zombies in snow. When zombies are covered in snow, they will take extra damage from ice-based plants and remain chilled and frozen for longer periods of time, and will take more damage from fire-based plants but the ice will be removed if they're hit by fire.
== Origins ==
Snowsettia is based off of the poinsettia, a colourful leafy plant of the Euphorbiaceae family, a plant traditionally seen and used in Christmas floral displays due to its red and green foliage that has common Christmas-themed colours.
Snowsettia is a portmanteau on the flower-like plant poinsettia and on the word snow which is what it lobs at the zombies as a weapon
== Upgrades ==
=== Plant Food Effect ===
When fed Plant Food, Snowsettia will lob massive snowballs at every zombie on the board, doing 300 DPS to every zombie on the board and chilling them as well as covering them in snow. 
=== Winter-mint Effect ===
When boosted with Winter-mint, Snowsettia will have a fire rate of 1.5 seconds instead of 3 seconds and the snowy projectiles will do 100 DPS each.

== Almanac Entry ==
== Strategies ==
Snowsettia is quite mediocre if he's the only offensive plant being used, but can actually be quite devastating when paired with the likes of Winter Melon, Cold Snapdragon, Missile Toe, Wasabi Whip and Pepper-pult since zombies affected by snow take double damage from ice and fire attacks. While it is generally not good to have ice and fire plants being used together, Snowsettia does seem like a good option. Using his plant food affect to rain down snow on every enemy and then using Winter Melon's, Missile Toe's or Pepper-pult's plant food to devastate them in a board-wide manner.
Whilst Snowsettia is quite flexible when used with fire and ice plants, players need to be aware that each fire plant attack will remove the snow and chilling effect so multiple Snowsettia's might be needed. Snowsettia's other weaknesses involve Jester Zombies and Parasol Zombies who reflect and deflect against Snowsettia's projectiles in certain ways which might make this plant redundant unless players are ready for them and finds a way to counter them.
