==== Skin challenges ====

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.

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.

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>.
