Freeze

The Freeze emote was released during the 2008 Christmas event and given out during the 2009 Christmas event. During the 2008 Christmas event, Jack Frost casts an attack similar to a Water Bolt that forced players to use the Freeze emote, unlocking the emote to use at their will. It was released again when talking to Santa Claus after he gets out of his cage during the 2009 Christmas event. If it follows the tradition of all other holiday event emotes, players can unlock it by completing the upcoming Christmas events. You also unlock the Snowman Dance emote in conjunction with the Freeze emote.

This emote does not have an enhancer.

Glitches

 * If a player tries to perform the freeze emote near the end of the zombie hand emote (when the claw begins to swipe backwards), the player will remain standing while the block of ice forms, does its normal motion, and finally disappears.
 * You could set a trap while performing the freeze emote.
 * When you performed the emote the ice would extend up and out of view for the middle part of the emote.
 * If a player eats while performing the emote, the emote will continue to play, while the player stands still.
 * Talking to an NPC or following another player while performing the emote, will cause the player to turn around, including the ice.
 * The emote can be performed while under attack, but the emote will stop half way, and remove itself.
 * Entering the portal at Clan Wars, just after performing the emote, will cause the player to appear in the room, continuing to do the emote, instead of changing back.
 * Just after using a Summoning Scroll (After the flames have appeared), will cause your player to do the emote, but without the ice.
 * While safe ranging, using the emote just after you have shot your arrow/bolt will cause the ice to animate, but you still stand and attack.
 * When you have done the Give Thanks emote and use the ice emote right after, the player will stand still but the ice will animate.
 * If you start the emote and throw a snowball in the middle of it, the emote will perform while you do the snowball-throw action.
 * At any time during the animation, you can study the lectern in a player owned house and the player will use it but the ice will remain.
 * Using the Freeze emote in the Brimhaven Agility Arena, just before using any obstacle, will usually result in the player either doing the obstacle with the ice animating, or the player running fast over the obstacle.
 * Go to Varrock Castle then climb the main staircase. Do the emote. Then, at the same time climb down the stairs(emote then climb). You will appear inside the Zamorak monk cage. This also works with Trick, Explore and Safety First. This glitch has not exactly been fixed, but for at least Safety First, when you appear in the cage, your character is then quickly teleported to the front of the stairs.
 * If a player uses the Penance master horn half way through the emote, it will make the ice disappear once the emote is finished the symbol(s) will appear.
 * If you start the Starting Horn while doing the emote, the ice will keep melting but you will be starting the horn.
 * If you use the emote then immediately after teleport with a spirit tree, you will stand up and do the spirit tree teleport with a block of ice at your feet. When you arrive at your destination, you will be underground, and finish the emote in the new location. This glitch has been fixed.
 * If a player performed the emote and quickly spun their Candy cane from the 2009 Christmas event, the player would spin their candy cane while standing and the emote would keep preforming. This worked for about a week after the 2009 Christmas event was released.

Trivia

 * This is one of seven emotes with audio, along with the "Beckon" emote when used with a piece of the Builder's costume, Skillcape, Trick,Dramatic Point, Air Guitar, and Idea.
 * The emote was originally called "Freeze" instead of "Freeze and Melt." This was changed later and now just says "Freeze."
 * In the emote interface, it is just called "Freeze."
 * A player can log out while doing the emote. Some players tend to make their logouts more exciting by doing the emote and then logging out when they are a puddle. Many players call this an 'epic logout'.
