Watch: Bubbles freezing in cold temperatures might be the best thing the world sees this winter
Warning: This might make you regret you don’t live in sub-zero temperatures.

Bubbles are such ephemerally beautiful things, you wouldn’t think it possible to make them any better. Unless you happen to live in sub-zero temperatures. For they’re truly mesmerising when they freeze, looking like snow globes.
You can make them yourself, with just some warm water, soap, sugar, corn syrup (recipe below), and temperatures below minus 20 degrees celsius.
What would #BubbleMadness be without a more produced video? (that'll never go as viral as the vid captured with the smartphone 😜)@PrairieChasers #abwx

More freezing of bubbles. Now, better lighting and corn syrup has been added to my mixture of dish soap and salt (had to wait for Sobeys to open 😉)@PrairieChasers @PhotoEdCANADA pic.twitter.com/batEJwiXWW
