Festive Year's End Parade

Festive Year's End Parade is a Super Epic Costume for Macaron Cookie. It was released on November 25th, 2020. It is her first Costume, being released as celebration for Popping Candy Cookie's release, as well as Macaron Cookie's imminent buff and Cookie Trial release.

It gives a bonus to Macaron Cookie's points earned for Macaron Animal Jellies.

It greatly changes Macaron Cookie's overall design, placing her in primarily mint green clothing with white and cream-colored adornments. She also has Christmas lights wrapped around her body, and has flowers lining the bottom of her dress. Her drum is decorated with lights and bows, and is changed to green and cream coloring. Its straps are now green, going over her new cape, likely helping to keep it held up. Her usual holly bowtie is changed to a small red loop bowtie.

Her blush is changed to a more magenta color rather than its normal soft appearance, and her purple hair is changed to mixtures of cream and white, with the macaron filling becoming a deep brown-red. The macaron hair buns are also adorned with purple berries, still somewhat resembling holly. Her hat is green and much larger, the filling nearly spilling out of it. The top is dusted with powder, more berries, and a light-up star to finish it off, causing Macaron Cookie to resemble a Christmas tree.

In addition to visual changes to the Cookie herself, the Costume also changes the effects and Jellies when using her Skill, putting all of the Macaron Animals in different Christmas-themed outfits. The small explosions caused by the parade are also altered, becoming a mint color, with a present box popping out briefly during the animation.

As a Super Epic Costume, it can either be purchased with Rainbow Crystals at any time or obtained from a Costume Gacha pull.

Story
''Bam-bam-bam! The thunderous drum proclaims the start of the festive year's end celebration! And the grand marshal is Macaron Cookie herself! Dressed in her special attire, she is more dazzling than a holiday tree. Make haste and join the festivities before they march into the new year!''

Background
Festive Year's End Parade appears to take the form of Macaron Cookie, along with Rockstar Cookie and Marshmallow Cookie, all getting together for a massive musical performance at the end of the year. However, Rockstar Cookie seems only loosely tied to the other two, as Macaron Cookie and Marshmallow Cookie make no mention of him, merely acknowledging each other and how they chose to work together for a huge performance.

This is somewhat at odds with the two's usual reaction to each other, with both their Relationship Charts deeming each other as Rivals and both of them appearing to be frustrated with the speed the other performs at. This may mean that these Costumes take place after the two manage to reach an agreement, or they managed to put aside their differences to work together for a great show, apparently even intending to do it again in the next year. This statement is slightly put at odds with Macaron Cookie having two separate lines of dialogue, one which implies they have already decided to do it again next year, and another where Macaron Cookie says she hopes they can do it again next year.

Macaron Cookie also seems eager to join in the festivities after the performance, mentioning wanting to see a Christmas tree later and even being excitedly reminded of it upon seeing a Green Sugar Crystal. She also admits she hates the sound of hammers, wanting it to be quieter, made slightly ironic in consideration of her naturally noisy musical position.
