Daze, you are a great help as always. Thanks. (Edited my post based on your accurate information. Perhaps someone just got words confused; I hardly think it was an intentional 'rumour' per se.)

The sidebar is not even that pleasing to my eyes, but the 'quest' of obtaining it is driving me mad, lol.

I've got it

I did:
Watch all advent calendar animations.
Got all the advent calendar items from this year.
Got a bunch of snow and snowball items in my inventory and SDB.
Even amount of neopoints.

I did not:
Got a xmas pet/petpet
Done a snow faerie quest.
Donate a item to the money tree.
Donate to tombola.

That is so true - I did everything I could think of to 'meet' the requirements. I was even starting to panic as it got close to 12am, just in case I didn't get it.

My daughter was sitting beside me and she thought I was insane to be so happy about getting it. (She didn't get it).

The quest for it was quite a strain and not knowing what the requirements are is still going to bug me even though I have it.

Hear, hear!!

I GOT IT!! My heart was pounding as I went in. I had one of each item in my SDB. Hold on, lemme get my check off list.

This is exactly what I did:
-I did collect everyday and made sure I had at least 1 of each Advent item in my SDB
-Had exactly 500np on hand
-Equipped a Christmas Petpet
-Had a snowball and snowflake in my inventory
-I had Attack Pea Avatar equipped
-I put some older advent items in my shop, neohome, inventory, and gallery
-have the default sidebar on
-watched all the animations in full
-equipped snowball and snowflake
-I sold an advent item
-I donated an advent item
(after that I made sure to buy them back to have a complete set)
-I visited the money tree
-I played winter/snow games
-my main pet was cheerful the others were also happy
-I sent a winter greeting
-I had a winter shop keeper
-i visited the snowager

Can you tell I really wanted the sidebar?

Did everyone who got it have a default sidebar? It seems I've been meeting anything that could be a requirement except that...maybe the default sidebar is required.

Nope, I was using the Altador sidebar when I got it.

I noticed one person saying they had used the same avatar for about a month, and I've been using my avatar for quite a long time, too. Has anyone else who got the sidebar been using the same av for a long time?

_________________

No. I had changed mine a couple times today.

Default sidebar is the yellow one - everyone has it.

I was using the Happy Valentine's Day sidebar when I collected the prizes. Before that I had been using the Haunted Woods sidebar.

I doubt the sidebar has anything to do with it.

Well, I got it and I've been using the same avatar for quite some time, but that seems sort of unlikely to me.

I also was using the Altador sidebar.

Oh, and to provide an additional data point towards laying that rumor to rest, I did not have anything with "Snow" or "Ice" in my inventory (although I did have 2 things with "Holiday" in my inventory.)

Winter scratchcards have been mentioned- I received a Race to Riches card from the Snowager yesterday (and won 10K), and I received a winter RE on the AC page both yesterday and the day before. I had just over 4K when I visited, and I routinely donate to the Money Tree. I've been using the same avatar for a couple of months now, and I was using the Valentine's Day sidebar when I received the winter one. My sister had given me an Icy Snowflake a few days before (which is now in my gallery), and I had no snowballs in my inventory nor equipped. I don't have an Xmas pet, but I do have an Xmas Petpet equipped (a Polarchuck). Oh, and I also have the White Ona we received as an AC prize equipped on one of my pets. Also, I did my dailies today before going to the AC, although I went did them after collecting my presents every other day this month.

Okay, before I retire for the night, here is my theory, even though I didn't get the sidebar: 3 requirements -- something icy, something snow, something happy?
