Winter Wonderland Skins Showcase Blizzards Holiday Spirit
By Zac Cameron ·
The upcoming Winter event for Overwatch is bringing more than just some snow to the various maps, with some very impressive new skins making their debut as well.
It’s almost time for another Overwatch event, and seeing as it’s so close to Christmas, it’s no wonder that the latest holiday event has a decidedly festive feel to it. The Winter Wonderland is set to kick off on December 11th and will run until January 2nd. We’re expecting to see some familiar game modes during this time, like Mei’s Yeti Hunt and Snowball Offensive, as well as some cosmetic changes to some of the maps.
But perhaps the most important thing on players’ minds when these kinds of events roll around, is what skins are we going to see. Well, fear not, there’s still a couple of days remaining until the event, but Blizzard has already shown us three new skins that will soon be available for players.
Pawsitively fursome.

Next up we have Arctic Fox Lúcio, trading in his normal dreadlock hairstyle for some fox tails, and a sleek new helmet complete with fox ears. Perhaps Blizzard will make these available as headphones one day?

Last but not least, we have Sugar Plum Fairy Mercy. Taking a bit of a break from what seems to be the theme of this year, Mercy is instead donning a costume that would not look out of place on the ballet stage and seems to fit her personality perfectly.
Which of these three skins will you be picking up when they become available? Keep in mind that there’s always time for Blizzard to tease some new ones in the days to come.
