Join Mei and Tiger in a touching story about friendship, embracing the day and new experiences.

Mei’s exuberant Tiger wants to play in the snow, but Mei isn’t quite so sure. It’s cold and it’s wet! But Mei soon changes her mind when she tastes delicate snowflakes for the first time, makes fresh footprints in the pristine snow and they have a fun snowball fight. As the day draws to a close, the duo return to the warm embrace of home – a perfect conclusion to a day filled with wonder and delight.
