Winter festival and lives
Answers

@Freddy_Falkner this is what it looks like in my game when I've used up my 5 lives.
Normally if you run out of lives the option to ask friends would come up alongside the option to use gold bars. As you can see that isn't an option in the winter festival, at least not in my game. I have hundreds of lives in my wallet/envelope but when I go to add more, while it will fill up my lives on the main map, it doesn't add any in the winter festival. And the time on the clock till next life is not in sync in the winter festival and main map either. So, if I'm stuck on a level I run through those 5 lives really quickly, then by the time half an hour has passed till the next life, and you fail again, then your game play is halted yet again.

@brightstar1 , I am lost with this one. i lose my lives on the feature and add lives from friends it adds to the feature, i do not need to wait while i have lives from friends. Only the standard troubleshooting tips and anything else could advise could mean you lose part of the feature or maybe your lives. what device are you playing on.

@Freddy_Falkner I think I accidently deleted my comment but just encase you didn't see it properly here is the screenshot I posted of what it looks like when I use up my 5 lives in the winter festival. And even though I have hundreds of lives in the wallet/envelope they don't add to the winter festival. All I can do is wait for the next life.
I'm playing on windows 10. Tried the usual troubleshooting. And like you said anything else I either lose lives and/or the feature. Game play at the moment is playing for what feels like a few minutes, running out of lives, waiting for the next life and if I'm unlucky I'll lose again, so game play is halted again. Even with 10 days left on the event I'm not sure I'll complete it as I know there are bound to be more challenging levels coming.

@Freddy_Falkner The lives on the event winter festival are different from the CCS game. You cannot get them from friends ( no function to ask) They are reloaded by time or you can buy them. I don't think it is a problem. I finished the event and didn't buy lives just wait that they will reload by time.

Hi @brightstar1 Welcome 😊
Winter Festival is an ongoing event similar to Saltnado. The event is calendar based and the way to collect lives for this event is to wait for the next live's or get lives via the gold bars. As @Tzvi_Marcu said, lives received from friends will not be effective in this event.
Thanks!

@Tzvi_Marcu Strange you and @Sukanta_Biswas say this as in my event The lives from the event are linked to my main game, so you add a life on your main game and it adds a life to the event. you lose a life in the event you lose a life in your main game. if that explains it better, It is how it is working on my feature. I not done the event but on purpose tested the event by losing level 1 twice to have 3 lives, went to my main screen added 2 lives from friends and event was at max lives again.
Just to add this was mobile version on iphone

@Sukanta_Biswas and @Tzvi_Marcu thank you for the info but when this event first popped up I was able to reload with lives from my friends, then when I came back to the game and every day since I've not been able to. Now, if this is how the event is meant to be then I wouldn't be ecstatic about it, but fair enough. However @Freddy_Falkner has shared they're able to refill lives straight away. Which suggests there is an issue with the lives as some players clearly have an advantage.
@Tzvi_Marcu I do hope I'll be able to complete this event, but as you've shared yourself there are around 80 levels, which is a lot to do when you are being limited by how many lives you have access to. Not everyone who plays this and wants to complete it are expert players, including regularly passing levels on the first try or within a few tries, not every one wants to resort to using boosters, or even at the top of the main map and are therefore more used to challenging levels. So, when you add on to that the limitations with the lives, I can imagine some people may not complete it.
This is supposed to be a fun event and yet it's now just frustating.
Also, I'm pretty sure I've seen a screenshot that this event was tested first, and yet a lot of the issues people are raising are the same ones that cropped up in the saltnado event too. So, what did the developers actually change before releasing it?
