Thank you! I was feeling lucky and brave, and watched one video. I shouldn't, because I didn't get any snowballs for it.
I'm on Android 2.3.1 and only once can I recall ever seeing the video option pop up in my Baron tent. It was a regular in Fantasy Story (never in Dragon Story and stopped working in Bakery Story). I've slowly been saving my cabbages after saving up tokens to buy the cabbage hut and there haven't been any prizes I've really been interested in a while. The prizes look neat, but this is so disappointing. I even explained the event to friends that don't play how incredulous I was about the event parameters.
I can confirm:
Once you trade 2 cabbages to snowball- you get just 1 SNOWBALL. Takes six hours to craft.
Nicely put - items in tent will cost TWICE as much as usual and you get the extra pleasure to spend up to 600 hours to craft all of them ( if you want to do it without gems and get a pet animal for getting 4 prizes).
To get 1 Grand Prize - worst case scenario - 50 cabbages turned into 25 snowballs. It takes 25 crafts x6 (hours) = 150 hours of crafting to reduce your beloved cabbages into snowballs. Just to get 1 day's main prize.
If you want to get the pet animal - you need 4 prizes- so 4 x 150 = 600 hours of crafting and 200 cabbages.
Simply put:

There was a third goal, about buying a snow pile in the market, but I don't see a screen shot anywhere for it. I could've sworn it was a 30gem reward for buying it, so basically it gives your gems spent back.?!? Am I wrong?? Did anyone else see it?? Cause if it did, it didn't give me my gems back.
I have the goal - but it shows NO rewards.

I’m not sure about that pop up, it was all too quick. But, be sure that you actually get the snowballs from chopping it. I chopped mine and it said I got 5 but they never showed up.
I swear, was I seeing things...I feel like I wasted gems now, cause in my mind I was getting them right back, no big deal like other goals before. This whole cabbage/snowball thing is wonky
Worse- 65 days. It takes 6 hours to craft a snow ball.
Without gems- if you LOVE sleeping anytime during this time - you can't
6 hours craft- max 4 crafts a day. Realistic is 3 trades a day. So - 3 snowballs per day ( if you do 3 trades per day - in 18 hours). 3x65 -> 195 cabbages. ( You need 200 to get 4 prizes)
This means that even if you would do 3 days' per day - you still may not get all 200. ( If anyone is as unlucky to use up all 25 to get main prizes all 4 times).
Sorry NW, I moved out that first post that went there with the timestamp, so it's back as it was.... didn't realise or think to check. Sorry about that.
FYI: my cabbage hut is still dropping cabbages, not snowballs.
