Believe it or not those are just regular led lights attached to a PVC circle.
You could accomplish the same thing using vixen 3 by grouping the elements into legs. The spins in Ho Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rhum are just chases across each of the 6 legs. In Don't Stop the Party where they spin on and off I took a snapshot of what it looks like in Vixen 3 and is the last pic attached below.
Hope it helps
Easy Snowflake Spinners
Here is a copy of the thread I posted over at DIYC 2 years ago:

I stole the idea from Scott (taybrynn), You can see some of his videos here: You are not allowed to view links.

I used 66" as the diameter and figured the circumference which is 207".
I then took 2 10' Non-Meatllic EMT conduit and cut them down to 104.5" each (added an inch for the connection). I bent them in a circle and dropped a screw in the bell to hold it.
I then just folded the strings and zip tied them to the conduit and then zip tied them at the intersection in the center.
I alternated colors and it came out pretty nice. Each Spinner has 3 blue 50 ct strings and 3 white 50 ct strings, making a 6 channel controlled spinner.
See the pics below.
