As the sun reaches its southernmost point, we celebrate the Winter Solstice🌨️- the shortest day and longest night. At this time the Earth’s North Pole🌎 is pointing away from the sun giving us chilly nights and frosty days. This solstice is a symbol of hope, as it marks the gradual return of sunlight☀️.

Did you know that the pillowy, white confections we enjoy in our hot cocoa☕️ were once derived from a swampy plant🌿 called marshmallow?

Native to Europe and North Africa, the plant’s root contains a thick, gluey substance, which can be extracted through boiling. Once strained, the extract can be used medicinally or sweetened and flavored to make a delicious treat. Although gelatin has replaced plant roots in modern marshmallows, it retains its plant-based origins in its name. Roast marshmallows and make memories at FROST❄️!

The classic red and white stripes on a candy cane encore peppermint’s❄️ bright, icy flavor. A hybrid between watermint and spearmint, peppermint plants rarely produce seeds🌱, instead spreading by rhizomes underground.

Today is National Poinsettia Day! Native to Mexico, these colorful plants are not flowers but instead leaves, with the bright "petals" being modified leaves called bracts. Their actual flowers are the tiny yellow clusters at the center. This holiday bloom symbolizes joy and good cheer across many cultures. Visit FROST❄️ to see hundreds of colorful poinsettia plants in our FROST Portal!

Evergreens🌲, like pine, spruce, and fir trees, are used for holiday decoration because they retain their green needles throughout the winter🌬️, symbolizing life and hope during the cold months. The waxy coating on evergreen needles helps prevent water loss, allowing them to stay green and vibrant, making them a practical choice for festive decorations during the winter holiday season. Visit FROST❄️ for an assortment of holiday trees decorated by local garden clubs🎄!

Snow❄️ is a fantastic insulator, meaning that while the weather up top may be frightful, the world below the surface is calm, quiet, and (comparatively) quite delightful. The snow we crunch over in our boots benefits the roots and seeds🌱 by regulating soil temperatures and providing an important water source when it melts in the spring. Many overwintering insects, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians also rely on this protective blanket, making snow an essential part of a healthy ecosystem.
