The 2025 Winter event ran from December 15 to January 20.

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 ===

The 2024 ~~Christmas~~ event ~~started in~~ December 17 ~~and is currently ongoing~~.

The 2024 Winter event ran from December 17 to January 17.

It added a new main menu animation and ~~music~~ and ~~Christmas~~ decorations in the streets, buildings, and ~~for the~~ [[Curiosity Shop]]. The [[Shopkeeper]] ~~has~~ a Santa mask and unique lines. ~~The~~ [[Denizen|Denizens]] ~~have snowman models~~. [[Dynamo]] and the [[Newscaster]] ~~have~~ unique holiday voice lines.

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~~]] ~~have~~ received unique ~~Christmas~~ skins. ~~Each hero has a unique challenge to~~ be ~~completed~~ in ~~order~~ to ~~unlock their skin~~.~~These challenges can be achieved~~ in a ~~normal match or a labs match~~.

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 ===

==== Skin challenges ====

~~List of~~ challenges ~~to unlock Christmas skins. 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~~.

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.

~~Some~~ skins ~~may~~ be ~~unlocked~~ with ~~different challenges for~~ the ~~same character~~, ~~but this has yet to be confirmed~~.

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.'''

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>.
