What was the paired ensemble when we got the Polar Bear for Moonfire Faire?

Or, more controversially, when the Mogstation store brought out the Cruise Chaser mount. What in-game event did that pair with?

Is there communication between Business Units, or just simply within Square Enix as a whole? I suspect so. Did the developers tell the Mogstation store BU to create a matching glamour set appropriate for the Reindeer? I kinda doubt it.

The reasoning? Our dear little reindeer came from Ishgard, which has a society that is about as far as one can get from the Sami peoples. Plus, big announcement here, and all, reindeer have been raised domestically for centuries in areas ranging from Scandinavia to China. They still are. It's a sub-Arctic thing, not a northwestern European thing.
