Can you tell me what would be the best tire to purchase for the snow as the Bridgestone tires that came with the Toyota Yaris 07 is just awful in the snow. Since it is front wheel car, do I need to get 4 tires or will 2 front tires be enough?

You need four with all FWD. It is dangerous to drive on front wheels only. The best winter tires IMHO are Michelin X-Ice and Bridgestone Blizzack WS-60.
