However, the encounter did not go as expected, for Elsa revealed her powers by freezing one of the courtyard's fountains.

After Elsa reversed her winter spell and restored summer to Arendelle, the courtyard was opened up to the kingdom's citizens and transformed into an ice rink. For decorative flair, Elsa created intricate structures in the form of ice pillars and frozen fountain water.

For Arendelle's first Christmas since the castle gates were reopened, the courtyard served as a venue for the start of the holidays.
