December 7th, 2009 — Powers
We were fortunate enough to be online (yeah, we don’t sleep) when Xat sent out a test version of its new Christmas power (57). All we know right now is that this power allows you to make use of 26 new Christmas themed smiles.

No news on when or where it will be released or how much it will cost.
Stay tuned!
Update: Here is the list of all Christmas smiles that we could find. These smiles can also be combined with one another (Example: (tree#bell)).

November 28th, 2009 — New features
Xat’s eagerly awaited power 56 has transformed into and been released as the new “Snowy power”. With it users have access to a new “Snowy kiss” (see below).


Those users that do not have the new Snowy power can still take advantage of another new Christmas themed kiss called “Globe”. It too is now visible along with the other kisses.

In addition Xat has included an easter egg of sorts for the Globe kiss. By appending #reindeer to the end of the kisses message, the default Snow kiss snowman can be replaced by a reindeer.

Update: We missed this before but Xat has also added new smilie power functionality for the SNOWY power. Here’s an example of what you can do!

Update: Xat’s power WIKI has new and updated information on additional Snowy functions.
