One of the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of winter is definitely snowman. This looks quite cute, but it's basically pixel art - not a very creative way to build an entry!

It's three pictures made in pixel art. The hat doesn't even look very good and you couldn't fit the tip of the tree in the screen. Not my favorite entry, but it's at least a little cute.

I really like this snow, very creative usage of the overworld flow! There's not much to the entry itself though, it's just a piece of land with characters wishing you a Merry Christmas and a few blocks, I guess. But it doesn't look bad at all.

It's a huge wacky Santa casually standing in there, lol. It's made with pixel art. Not a very creative entry, crafting-wise and otherwise.

This looks very neat! I love how you've used vanilla tiles to make snowflakes, the hills, the trees, how the smoke is actually clouds and the attention to detail with the shading and all. It feels like this is a real picture that was reproduced in SMW tiles in the neatest way possible! Even outside the context of SMW tiles, I think this is a pretty nice scene.

I think you've missed the "Winter" bit of this contest... this doesn't look particularly pretty either.
It also really reminds me of my terrible LMCC2 entry, lol

It's a scene. I like the vibes I get from it - Mario just stares at the horizon... the colors are pretty good. The snow doesn't have the smoothest animation I have seen, but it doesn't look that off. Not much else to say about this - it's a pretty simple one.

I like the shining turn blocks, but I wish the tree was made more out of a bigger variety of blocks at least. I like how the trunk actually uses wood tiles for example. Also, the star has a pretty weird shape to it (making stars look good is hard, I know).

Oh my God the generator text at the top, I can't believe you manage to find a use for that lol. The big present in the middle is a bit glaringly less interesting than the rest of the entry, which is extremely well made. Really neat overall, though!

Just how did you pull this girl off with vanilla tiles???? I really like it and I really like the Santa shadow in the background too! But the rest of the entry is basically pixel art, which is a shame. It's still very well made though!

A very cute scene! I like how you've taken advantage of sprite translucency for the ghost. The snow and the palette of the ceiling really don't look very good, but they do their job.

Sorry, I don't quite get this one... The Mario Lisa in winter...?? And what I'm assuming is Mario with a santa beard above some chunks of land. Alright.

your views on winter are too u.s.-centric for my tastes

This entry is just fantastic! Extremely well-crafted, very cute, with a lot of attention to detail. I can barely nitpick anything in here - great job.
