Your first battle was a Victory, so the Snowflake was consumed.

You cannot earn Bonus Clears on a ship that has no active Snowflake, so the second Victory was just a normal, snowflake-less Victory.

Your first match wasn't a "fail", you both got over 300 Base XP and a Victory which are both victory conditions. The Snowflake was cleared as a result.

"festive bonus icon by the missions" meaning in the post-game result screen? You have no mention of the Steel being earned after the first battle you played on the Mogador which was a Victory?
