Where do I add snow on my blog?
-
I want to add falling snow on my blog but the box is no longer there on the “Settings” “General” page. Did WordPress.com get rid of this option or is it hidden somewhere else? I’ve been through every page and can’t find it.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I think it’s too early yet. I think the snow option starts early December, but you can add ‘modlook’ to the tags if you want staff to confirm that.

Holiday Snow has been removed from Jetpack and WordPress.com. Its removal will help us make Jetpack a more focused and robust product for small businesses.
If you miss having snowfall across your site there are stand-alone plugins available here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/falling-snow/
Plugins can be added to WordPress.com sites with the Business Plan.
Here are more details about the Jetpack update:

Just to clarify a bit….
Liz’s post above is accurate as far as the reasoning behind the removal from Jetpack. However, for WordPress.com sites the reason is simply that our developers have been extremely busy with a number of large projects the past few months and we were unable to get the falling snow options set up for WordPress.com sites this year.
I will make sure that the team knows that some folks really do miss the feature and perhaps it can return in the future.
As Liz also notes, if you have a WordPress.com Business plan (or a WordPress site hosted with another webhost), there are falling snow plugins that you can use to replicate the effect. But I can also understand that might not seem like the most reasonable solution for someone who just has a basic WordPress.com site and doesn’t have any interest in upgrading to a Business plan. But we thought it was important to at least mention the option.
