Here's mine.

Hat of Animation

This potent artifact can be placed on any snow or ice statue to animate it. Use the stats for a stone golem, with a cold-based breath weapon. It was once used to create a vile and corrupt being known as Frosty the Terrible.

Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 60 ft.
Area: Cone-shaped burst
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Reflex half
Spell Resistance: Yes

Cone of cold creates an area of extreme cold, originating at your hand and extending outward in a cone. It drains heat, dealing 1d6 points of cold damage per caster level (maximum 15d6).

A blue-white ray of freezing air and ice springs from your hand. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack with the ray to deal damage to a target. The ray deals 1d6 points of cold damage per caster level (maximum 25d6).
&nbsp&nbsp&nbspSanta casts this spell when you _really_ tick him off.
&nbsp&nbsp&nbspFocus: A small, white ceramic cone or prism.

OK. So they're not very original, but hey, I changed 'em up at least a little bit.

Party Cracker
Conjuration(creation)
Level:Wiz/Sorc 0, Brd0
Components: S,M
Casting Time: 1 action
Range:See text
Effect: A small prize within a wooden tube
Duration: Permanent until discharged

This spell instantly creates a thin tube of wood with a desirable item within. The prize is activated by breaking the tube with a strength check (dc:5). The caster can choose to either create a specific item or determine it randomly by rolling a d%.
Random Prize
1-7 1d12x10+5 copper peices
8-14 2d10 silver pieces
15-21 3d8 coin-sized candies worth 1sp each
22-28 A puff of powder exploding from the tube that turns everything within range blue unless they succeed at a reflex save. This power can be removed by washing with a gallon of water and 1/4 lb. of soap, or by a prestadigitation-clean effect.
29-40 A brightly colored butterfly that flutters about in the surrounding 5 feet for 1d12+2 rounds before flying away
41-45 A celestial bat that vanishes within 1 round
46-55 A bar of chocolate worth 4sp
55-64 A cloud of bubbles that gives all creatures within 5ft 1/2 concealment for 1 round.
65-70 A flash of light dazzling (-1 on attack rolls) all within 10ft for 1d4 rounds unless they make a fortitude save.

83-88 A glowing ball of quasi-corporeal light that illuminates the same area as a candle and can orbit a person like a dull grey ion stone. This light lasts for 1 week. It cannot be destroyed by normal damage but any energy damage or magical damage destroys it instantly. It can also be destroyed with a strength check dc12, but doing so dazzles the destroyer for 1d6+1 rounds unless he/she/it makes a fortitude save.
89-95 A shimmering 5ft by 5ft rainbow glow appears, lasting for 1d12+3 rounds. Those within the area of the glow suffer a -3 penalty to spot and search check, but also have 1/4 concealement.
96-00 A dove appears flutters the opener in a circle for 1 round before flying away and dissapearing within 1d8+1 rounds
Material Component: A gold peice.
