Feature Request

Idea: Add seasonal or holiday-themed variants of the Claude Code mascot (the pixel-art robot that appears on startup), similar to how Google changes their logo with Google Doodles.

Examples:

  • Santa hat during Christmas
  • Pumpkin or costume for Halloween
  • Party hat for New Year's
  • Sunglasses for summer
  • Heart accessory for Valentine's Day

Why it'd be cool:

  • Adds personality and delight to the CLI experience
  • Creates a small moment of surprise/fun when a new season rolls around
  • Google Doodles have proven this kind of touch builds brand affinity

Possible approaches:

  • Built-in seasonal variants that swap automatically based on the date
  • A user setting to enable/disable if some prefer the standard mascot
  • Community-contributed designs could make it even more fun

Would love to see the little robot get festive!
