1972年，在慕尼黑舉行的第20屆國際奧委會上正式批準了奧運吉祥物的想法。第一個官方奧運吉祥物是1972年慕尼黑奧運會上的臘腸犬瓦爾迪。從那時起，吉祥物就成為奧運品牌的主要元素。吉祥物是向公眾，特別是兒童和青少年傳達奧林匹克精神的載體。盡管它們有多種形狀和大小，但它們都傳達了奧運會的主題，并展示了主辦城市獨特的地理特征、歷史和文化。

北京2022年冬奧組委面向全球開展了吉祥物設計大賽，最終收到了來自中國和其他35個國家（地區）的5800多個設計方案。中國和國際專家在仔細評估每個設計方案之后，最終選擇了廣州美術學院設計團隊精心設計的“冰墩墩”。

2019年9月17日，北京2022年冬奧會吉祥物——冰墩墩在北京首鋼冰球館揭幕。該作品以大熊貓為原型。眾所周知，大熊貓是中國的國寶，它們在世界各地享有很高的認可度。此外，它們非常可愛，非常受人們的歡迎。熊貓已經不是第一次被設計為在中國舉行的國際運動會的吉祥物。它最早可以追溯到1990年北京亞運會，吉祥物“盼盼”的形象就是一只可愛的熊貓，吸引了全球許多人。在2008年中國首屆奧運會上，熊貓也是奧運會吉祥物福娃之一“晶晶”的原型。

在中文中，“冰”有幾層意思，盡管常見的是冰，但還象征著純潔和堅強，“墩墩”意喻健康、強壯、敦厚、活潑，也代表孩子。冰墩墩是一只科技意識很強的熊貓。它用冰制成的全身“外殼”吸引了人們的注意力?？傇O計師曹雪說，外殼的靈感來自中國傳統小吃冰糖葫蘆，這是一種插在棍子上的山楂蜜餞，而外殼也像太空服——向擁抱具有無限可能性的未來新技術致敬。

一個色彩鮮艷的光環也裝飾著冰墩墩的臉。光環的顏色代表了冰雪運動賽道的最新先進技術。你如果仔細觀察，你會看到墩墩左爪的中心有一顆紅色的心。它代表了北京的熱情好客，中國很高興與世界分享2022年奧運會的精神。

吉祥物體現了運動員的力量和意志力，將有助于弘揚奧林匹克精神。2022年北京冬奧會吉祥物“冰墩墩”作為冬季運動的形象大使，為所有參賽選手和大賽觀眾帶來了歡樂。
