Overwatch 2’s Winter Wonderland 2025 event wraps up a fairly eventful year for Blizzard’s online hero shooter in festive fashion, bringing us thematic rewards and a mischievous game mode between its start and end dates.
Overwatch 2’s Winter Wonderland 2025 event introduces a three-path reward system that lets us choose which cosmetics to chase. By completing challenges across different modes, we earn Winter Cookies, which can be spent on three different tracks – Jingle Tracer, Krampus Junkrat, and Santa Claus Torbjorn.

In addition, the Mischief & Magic prop hunt game mode also makes a return on a familiar map that’s decorated to fit the season.
During the first two weeks, we can take on the role of either sneaky props looking to hide from their pursuers or prop hunters eager to hunt down quasi-sentient, moving objects.
For the final two weeks, the “props wake up, stretch their little limbs, and decide they have had enough,” gaining the ability to fight back.
The Mischief & Magic mode allows us to earn the Frozen Demon Junkrat and Frozen Mountaineer Cassidy cosmetics while the Overwatch 2’s Winter Wonderland 2025 event is live.
