With
It is recommended to have freezing tricks or plants in your deck to use with Winter Squash. Without freezing plants, this plant will not be as powerful. You may also want to hold the Winter Squash and a freezing trick or plant for a really strong zombie. That way you can destroy it with ease. After you place this plant, it might be good to try and protect it if possible. You could also pair this with Snowdrop for a really powerful combo.

Against
This is one tough plant to end, especially if your adversary has a freeze dedicated deck. However fear not, as it is not invincible, due to weak strength stats, you have access to a few things to end it.

Zombies with the Deadly trait (specially ones with over 3 health) can end it quick, due to them kill plants instantly, ignoring their health.

Tricks are really handy against this, for example, Rolling Stone. Remember, do it quick before it destroys one of your strong zombies, otherwise you may lose a really powerful one.

As a last resort, the player can use the trick Locust Swarm to instantly destroy it.
