Mascot

When looking for a suitable mascot for the German Xmas Con, it made sense to choose a character with a Christmas connection, namely Santa Claus. Cookie is his name. Since Cookie has aged over the years, his son Schoko is now taking over delivering the gifts for the festival of love.

The first drawings come from ChinosWorld. These were given color and life by the artist Euleweis. Since the middle of the year we have received support from the artist angelscribs, who has created our mascots in a new, modern drawing style. We hope you like this innovation as much as we do. :)

Cookie
Our Cookie has been with us since 2017. He is an older Santa Claus who loves listening to metal and rewards convention goers with gifts if they have been good throughout the year. Over time he has experienced a few things, so he turns gray pretty quickly. Our Eminence Gray now prefers to stay in the background and leaves the handing out of the gifts during Secret Santa to his son Schoko.

Schoko
Schoko is Cookie's son. He recently graduated from the Christmas Academy and now has the official license to distribute gifts as a professional Santa Claus. He is supported in his new tasks by the members of the Maid and Host Café and his animal friends, who have already worked with his father Cookie.

Hikari
The pretty maid Hikari has been a regular at the maid and host café “Yuki no Kuni” for many years. At first she seems a little reserved and shy, but she has a lot of fun with friends and comes out of her own accord. At the Xmas Con, together with the other maids and her colleagues, the hosts, she takes care of the well-being of the guests.

Jun
Jun is a new host at the Maid and Host Café "Yuki no Kuni". He is friendly, courteous and always helpful. But sometimes he takes his work a little too seriously. He likes it when the processes are well structured. He doesn't like spontaneous breakdowns at all. At the Xmas Con, together with Hikari and the other maids and hosts, she takes care of the guests' well-being.

Sunoboru, the snow rabbit
The secret star among all our mascots is the snow bunny Sunoboru (short for “Suno”). In Japan they build snow bunnies instead of snowmen. Two leaves of the evergreen sky bamboo are placed on the oval-shaped body made of snow, which are supposed to represent the ears of the hare. Red berries are used for the eyes. After Suno was built by Hikari on a beautiful winter day, he wished to be a real rabbit that would never have to melt. Cookie fulfilled his wish. He now spends his everyday life with Hikari and Schoko and overcomes the small and large challenges of the Christmas season with his two friends.
 

Kuro, the penguin
Kuro, the penguin, is a fan of all Far Eastern martial arts, which is why he trains them himself. His headband shows his determination and interest in Japanese culture. Since he is friends with Suno, he is happy to help with the preparations for the Christmas business if a helping hand is needed.

???, the snow owl

One day a white owl fluttered into the Maid and Host Café and Suno wanted to catch it. Host Jun noticed that she had injured her wing and nursed her back to health. Since then, she has hardly left her lifesaver's side. It has now become a popular visitor magnet in the café. Suno is still a little afraid of the snowy owl because it initially wanted to eat him.

The snowy owl is also the theme of this year's creative competition. For more information just have a look at the competitions section.
