[[File:Winter 2025 souvenir.png|150px|thumb|right|Winter 2025 souvenir]]
The 2025 Winter event ran from December 15 to January 20.
 
During the event, all players received a unique [[Snowball]] item that could be leveled up by winning matches with different Heroes, which also unlocked ornaments for the Christmas tree in the [[Hideout]]. Players who participated in the Winter challenge also unlocked a souvenir above their fireplace in the [[Hideout]].
 
The [[Shopkeeper]] also received new holiday-themed lines for all heroes, and [[Drifter]] has holiday-themed songs when using Eternal Night.
 
=== 2024 ===
[[File:Christmas menu.png|thumb|2024 Winter main menu]]
The 2024 Winter event ran from December 17 to January 17.
 
It added a new main menu animation, remixed music for the menu and shops, and Winter-themed decorations in the streets, buildings, and [[Curiosity Shop]]. The [[Shopkeeper]] featured a Santa mask and unique lines. In addition, the [[Denizen|Denizens]] were modelled after snowmen. [[Dynamo]] and the [[Newscaster]] had unique holiday voice lines.


All the mainline [[Heroes]] received unique Winter skins, which could be unlocked by completing their respective challenge. A list of which skins were unlocked during the event can be seen in the "Showcase" tab in the player's profile, next to the "Match History" button. Players who participated in the Winter challenge also unlocked a snow globe above their fireplace in the [[Hideout]].

==== Skin challenges ====
All the mainline [[heroes]] have received unique Christmas skins. Each hero has a challenge to be completed in order to unlock their skin.
As the winter skin challenges weren't listed in-game or in patch notes, the challenges were discovered and shared by the player community over the duration of the event.


These challenges could be achieved only in a normal match or a labs match, not in a custom game or against bots. The conditions for each challenge must be completed in '''one match.'''

List of challenges to unlock Christmas skins. These challenges can be achieved in a normal match or a labs match, but not against bots.


Winter skins were tracked in-game by a Santa hat icon in the main menu that showed how many skins had already been unlocked. Heroes with Winter skins had the Santa hat icon and a red background in the Heroes page.
As the conditions are still being discovered by the community, this list is a work-in-progress and some of them still need to be tested.


The skins can be tested in sandbox mode or custom games (with cheats enabled) with the [[console commands]] <code>ent_fire player setbodygroup hat,1</code> and <code>ent_fire player setbodygroup xmas,1</code>.
Some skins may be unlocked with different challenges for the same character, but this has yet to be confirmed.
