8 Winter(ish) Riddles - Christmas Community Event

[Comben]

Hope you are all managing to stay warm this Winter, it certainly feels like it's getting colder and my family are starting to drink more hot chocolate with the added bonus of mini marshmallows.

As some of you know I like to add a riddle game to the community events and this Christmas is no different so whether you've played before are a new player welcome to '8 Riddles themed loosely around Winter for the Christmas Community Event.'

Before we begin there are a few rules I want to add in order to help everyone feel included:

1. I will release one riddle at a time and reply to answers submitted - When a correct answer is received I will release the next riddle in the comments. (I will not be able to edit my original post to add the new riddles due to the O2 time constraints of editing a post)
2. Please only guess once in a row - To allow other to join in please only submit another guess or answer the new riddle if someone other than me has posted in between your last reply.
3. If the game is particularly slow (which could be the case due to having this event on a Saturday during the Football World Cup) please disregard rule 2 and feel free to submit a second answer in a row, this mainly applies if no other guesses have been received for at least 15 minutes.
4. I have tried to have put the riddles into a scaling difficulty, however at any point if you would like a clue please let me know in the comments so I can reply with a hint - Please bear in mind I will wait at least 15 minutes after a request of a clue in case someone else answers.
5. Hopefully you'll all enjoy this game, I believe all riddles to be solvable with thought so for the enjoyment of others please avoid using google or otherwise seeking out the answers just to post them here.

Thanks for reading, please find the first riddle below:

RIDDLE ONE:

I am cold and without a soul, if you find any warmth within me it will slowly kill me, who am I?

Don't forget to follow this threads comments to see the new riddles and play along because as mentioned they will be released one by one in the comments once the previous riddle is solved. (This is due to the maximum edit time of my original post)

As already mentioned anyone and everyone is welcome to participate, I will be here to help the game progress and hopefully we can all enjoy my addition to the Christmas Community Event.

Finally if this game goes past midnight, which it might do due to the time of the event, then I will pause it until midday on the 11th December - During these 12 hours feel free to guess/ ask for a clue but please note that I won't be around to monitor and update the next riddle until noon on the 11th December.

Good Luck!

Everyone has been so good at these riddles today, not only did you get through them all in under 3 hours but also got almost every riddle right first time. Thanks to pgn, MI5, jonsie, TallTrees and Cleoriff for participating.

Merry Christmas to everyone and have a very Happy New Year. I look forward to more community festivities coming soon but until then I leave you with a bonus riddle. Stay safe one and all. 🎅🎁☃️🦌🎄

BONUS RIDDLE

Take the first letter from each of the answers I wrote as correct for the 8 winter riddles, then rearrange those 8 letters to make an 8 letter word which will fit into the below sentence and complete it:

In my opinion Grandma Ashley makes the ________ Mince Pies every Christmas.

[BobM]

Bit late to the party @Comben but here goes....

In my opinion Grandma Ashley makes the 'TASTIEST' Mince Pies every Christmas. 

[Comben]

Absolutely BobM, that is spot on, congratulations. 👏

The first letters of each of my answers are: A, S, T, I, S, T, T, E which creates TASTIEST when rearranged.

Thanks for joining in BobM and just to echo my sentiments again, thanks to everyone for playing along today, enjoy the rest of the community events during this cold winter. Happy Christmas and bye for now. 🍰🍫
