Update []:
After a tough weekend of splatting, Shiver, Frye and Big Man have crowned another Splatfest champion in Splatoon 3's latest returning event.
Much like the last time that the theme descended on the Splatlands, it was Team White Chocolate that walked away with the win, snatching up 520p. Team Milk Chocolate landed second place with an impressive 315p, while Dark Chocolate brought up the rear with 35p.
Good splatting, everyone! Remember to collect those super sea snails if you took part.
This chocolate-based event was Splatoon 3's first returning theme since Nintendo announced the end of "regular updates" late last year. Seasonal events have still been going ahead as usual, mind you, so we'll have to wait and see whether it's a returning battle or Spring Fest that crops up next.
Original Story: We knew that some Splatfest themes would make a comeback once Nintendo announced that Splatoon 3's "regular updates" would come to an end, and next month we'll see just that!
The 2023 chocolate-themed Splatfest will be the first theme returning to the Splatlands next month, with the battle of "What's your favourite chocolate?" getting underway from 8th to 9th February. Once again, Team Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate and White Chocolate are all up for grabs, so expect to make your vote in the coming days.
You'll find the precise time that the upcoming event begins in your region below:
- North America: 4pm (Fri) PST / 5pm (Fri) MST / 6pm (Fri) CST / 7pm (Fri) EST
- UK/Ire: 12am GMT
- Europe: 1am CET / 2am EET
- Asia/Oceania: 9am JST / 8am AWST / 11am AEDT
- Your Local Time:
Team White Chocolate walked away with the win when this Splatfest theme last came to town in February 2023, but who will take it this time? Is anyone else feeling peckish?
Which team will get your vote this time around? Let us know in the comments.

I knew it was a matter of time before they started rehashing old themes, but at least it means they'll probably support Splatfests for a while... Even if I stopped playing after the Grand Fest
TEAM DARK CHOCOLATE!! this was a great splatfest i remember. anyways i rly hope splat 4 (or the prequel since past won) will have more unique ink colors for casual play

Sorry, I can’t get too excited for Big Man Fest anymore. ESPECIALLY when they ONCE AGAIN give Big Man white ink. That’s not sweet. It’s disgusting.
I was on Milk before, but I’ll choose Dark this time. I’ve actually eaten more dark in the past two years. It’s the purer chocolate.
We all know that white chocolate will win because we're mostly immature dude bros on the internet with our minds in the gutter.
Team Dark Chocolate here!
Which one should I choose, I love them all!!! Dark chocolat is not too sweet but tasty, milk chocolate is creamy and white chocolate is delicious and more rare. I have some time to choose, but it won't be easy!
Chocolate Splatfest is the event that happens after I drink a lot of milk.
For Frye fans, why bother, we know which colour ink will dominate... sigh Milk chocolate all the way though
I was White Chocolate last time, I’ll probably be White Chocolate again
@abbyhitter White chocolate will win because white chocolate tastes the best. I’m not having any minimize this potential 2nd victory.
The same as last time... they should have mixed it up by substituting white for orange choccy! 😋
@Ooyah Oh yeah like orange, mint or caramel would have been a good variation!
White Chocolate for me! (No, it's not because of white ink, it's just my favorite kind of chocolate).
The good news is you get points for 2nd place in each category now, so White Chocolate can't completely shut out the other teams again.
@Ogbert @OctolingKing13 Team Dark chocolate then and now (while it pains me to work for shiver big man is the enemy who’s streak must end now)
I wasn't ever one of the "eww Splatfest locks you out of Ranked" folks... but considering this is a full-on rehash and isn't a special Fest, I will probably only hop on for round or two of Tricolor.
EDIT: I do like the new art though!!
Of course, always on a weekend when I have to work. Milk Chocolate all the way, though.
Team White Chocolate once again for me!
I don't think white ink teams would be so popular if white ink was part of the regular rotation of ink colors. Of the three, I do like white chocolate the best. However, my Splat mates have elected for Team Dark Chocolate, so I shall be fighting for my least favorite chocolate.
Milk Chocolate for me!
Dark can be good in certain scenarios and White's a nice novelty but yeah I'll be joining Frye again.
It looks like white and milk chocolate’s ink will be slightly nerfed. The white ink is being made slightly darker and the milk choc brown (or orange?) will be slightly lighter compared to original running of this theme, making both easier to see. That’s to say, if the color of the background of the team text in the announcement graphic is anything to go by (which it is).
YAWN. Big Man wins yet again. I don't even consume white chocolate outside of a coffee drink once in a very blue moon. BOO
YAH!Please don't think I'm hating on Big Man here. I like Big Man. There wouldn't be Deep Cut without him. It's just that Splatfest is truly cursed to be Big Man Fest anymore not only because of his own devoted fans but Nintendo's stubborn insistence on giving him white ink or other pale colors because he's gray. Shiver’s Team Vanilla and Frye's Team Rice were the only exceptions.
At this rate, Grand Festival should've been the final Splatfest. I officially don't care anymore. I'll play a Splatfest long enough to reach Ruler rank to take photos, but that's enough for me. I won't touch Tricolor again and let better players handle that mode. I've never been that good at it. The only possible Splatfest I might get excited for at all is a Super Mario collab like what Splatoon 2 got, but I'll expect Big Man to win that too regardless of whatever power-up or character he reps...
As usual congratulations to the winning team and a big thank you to my teammates, we had some really fun matches. I played for team milk chocolate.
I was on team white chocolate this time (Milk chocolate last time), but I'm still disappointed that white ink won again.
I'm not surprised we won as white chocolate is the best and white ink looks cool!
Aww, dangit! I forgot that this was happening! Between work, celebrating my father’s birthday, and then the Super Bowl, I just didn’t have time. First Splatfest that I missed for Splatoon 3.
Really couldn’t join in until the end, unfortunately, but wow Big Man really got the repeat. Congrats, I guess. And looking at the votes vs last time, there were less people on White Chocolate so at least some folks were looking for a change. Anyway, I stayed in Pro (Milk Chocolate) due to time constraints and x10/x100 potential and managed a 10-6-2 record. Next up should be Spring Fest ‘25 unless they rerun another theme before that or go with a Big Run.
After this Splatfest, at least here in America, Big Man has officially won more Splatfests than Shiver. This was his 10th victory, while Shiver has won 9.
Meanwhile, poor Frye has still only won 3 Splatfests.
Your mom loves sweet white chocolate.
Poor Frye.... Gotta say, I love her in those glasses!
