This was one bear-y cute snowfall.

Twin giant pandas were caught on camera experiencing snow falling for the first time.

Rui Bao and Hui Bao, 1-year-old siblings who made history last summer as the first twin giant panda cubs born in South Korea, can be seen adorably playing together as the flakes fall around them.

The female toddlers, born in July at Everland theme park and resort in Yongin, were kept indoors last winter, so are making up for lost time amid historic amounts of snow in the country.

Rui and Hui’s names were chosen through a public contest — and mean “wise treasure” and “shiny treasure,” respectively, according to Korea.net.

When they turned six months old, the pair, who had only made appearances on social media, was unveiled to the public for the first time.

“They are even cuter in real life than they appear on screen,“ Lee Da-young told The Sun on the day the pandas made their public debut.

For their first birthday, the park even threw them a party, inviting 60 of their biggest fans and streaming the event on its YouTube page, as per Korea JoongAng Daily.
