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.

=== Skin challenges ===

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

Winter skins ~~are~~ tracked in-game by a Santa hat icon in the main menu that ~~shows~~ how many skins ~~have~~ already been unlocked. Heroes with Winter skins ~~have~~ 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>.
