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>.
