Are these the cards with the 'glitter' texture on the front of the card?

No I dont think so, I dont have a ton but they are just the Christmas themed cards, some have a present border, some have snowflakes added, others like a touque on their head, etc. But I dont have any with glitter on them ...... yet?!

jimetal7212, are you saying that what I'm referring to as glitter is called metallic and it IS the snowflake variant? I know they are not part of the normal set because I have some of the same players with the glitter/metallic and without. I haven't seen any of the listed variants for the cards in the main set with this enhancement.

Snowflake is a parallel to the base set.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

On here the cards that have the glitter look to them are labeled under snowflake. on the pack themselves I believe they are called metallic. At least that is the way that I took it.

I have no idea why it's called "Snowflake". I don't see any snowflakes.

They were called "Snowflake" in the previous sets, 2016-2018 at least. In the 2019 set they are called "Metallic Holiday" which you can see on the insert ratios on the box:

Just for the record I don't like the "snowflake" or "holiday" variants with the snow design.

i've never purchased any of the holiday version, but i did receive some in a box i recently purchased. this thread was most helpful in resolving my question about this, so sharing this again, in case anybody has/will have the same question.
