While Halloween is certainly the biggest holiday on PC in terms of special in-game events, themes, and treats, there are still plenty of games that let you celebrate the holidays this winter. Festive skins for your characters, special quests and bosses, and all sorts of decorations began appearing in games this month, but they won't last too much longer! So, while you're enjoying your winter break, don't forget to dive into a few games and unwrap some virtual presents.
Grand Theft Auto 5
Running until January 5, the Festive Surprise brings some treats to GTA 5 Online, such as Santa outfits, elf and gingerbread man masks, and several sets of holiday pajamas perfect for settling down for a long winter's dirt-nap. There are also Christmas horns for your cars and Christmas trees for your pads. The forecast calls for flurries, too, so get ready for a snowball fight.
League of Legends
It's Snowdown in League of Legends! Until January 7, you can enjoy new skins, icons, and wards, and pick up a host of wintry minions. You can also chuck snowballs at your friends, and there are a number of Snowdown bundles and sales being offered during the event.
Hearthstone
The Winter Veil has come to Hearthstone, and until January 6th each game board will be festooned with holiday decorations. Festive wreaths, snow-lined steps, bells, ribbons, and even a red-nosed battering ram. There's also a cheery holiday emote, though feel free to use it sarcastically. Everyone else is. What's more, Tavern Brawl is celebrating the season as well, with players receiving a gift box containing a special card. Match winners also nab a holiday-themed card back.
World of Warcraft
It's time for Winter Veil in WoW, too, with new quests and bosses, a chance to kiss NPC revelers under the mistletoe, and the annual gift-giving day (the 25th, of course) celebrated by the goblins of Smokywood Pastures. You can also acquire new pets like bots, snowmen, and reindeer, and toys such as trains and a clockwork gnome. It lasts until January 2.
Heroes of the Storm
Speaking of Blizzard—again—Winter Veil has also arrived in Heroes of the Storm. There's a snowflake-trailing Goblin Mount, pictured above, available to anyone who plays this month (though he vanishes when the event is over). There are also (purchasable) skins and bundles, and bonus Stimpacks for those who play extra games of HotS during the event.
