An Arctic fox doesn't really "adapt" to cold weather. Arctic foxes actually have a really thick, warm coat of fur which keeps them at a perfectly warm temperature in the winter.

Arctic foxes have thick, white fur to keep them warm and also for camouflage in the snow. They have small ears to keep the snow out of their ears, so that they can hear better. They also have thick fur lining and a thick pad on their feet, this stops the paws getting cold and they have short legs so then the body weight can be spread making it easier for the animal to not sink in the snow.

In the summer the arctic fox turns brown to help make the fox invisible when hunting in the long grass.

Their hair thickens and their fur grows white. This is so they are warmer and less visible in the tundra.
Though I personally do not know how the arctic fox ORIGINALLY adapted to the arctic, I do know that they keep themselves warm by curling up and using their fluffy tails as blankets. Therevis also fur between their toes to help, along with having short ears, and being furry in general. They eat mostly anything, which is helpful when food is scarce. The arctic fox's white coat helps them blend into their surroundings, but changes to a browner color in the summer, when it's warm in the arctic.

One adaptation of an Arctic fox that is a response to stimuli is that they grow white fur in winter and brown fur in summer. It is also able to walk on ice.

To hunt, it has stays still and blends in the white snow and pounces. it changes colour during the summer and spring time to a kind of brown.

The fox doesn't live where it does because it "likes" the Arctic - (even if the fox did, this would be a personal opinion and we can't know for sure because we can't access their thoughts) it only lives in the Arctic because it is adapted to the Arctic. They might like the Arctic, they might like the Maldives! But that isn't the point.
