Easy. Kick their arse outta the party. (Quite literally) then invite some friends. I recommend you kill some monsters when you wait for the ice trap to fade. Is a good thing to have as a time distracter. If there are those moth things near the gift pile gate near the orphanage, kill them. The sentry gun may not be THAT usefull, but it helps, and it can't if those moths are attacking. All this info is from experience. By the way, recommended path. Down, then up. That's what I always take with my teammates. Don't hit the switches. It'll only kill your party's changes of getting more winter wishes. READ IT, DON'T IGNORE IT.
