Team Fortress 2 – Smissmas 2024 Community Content Preview

As the holiday season rolls in, Team Fortress 2’s Smissmas 2024 event is just around the corner, and anticipation is building across the community. While Valve hasn’t officially announced the update just yet, the Workshop has been flooded with new cosmetic submissions, maps, and taunts — setting the stage for what could be one of the more festive Smissmas seasons in years.

A Look at the Most Popular Submissions

The TF2 Workshop is once again buzzing with creativity. Here are some of the top-voted community submissions that players are hoping to see make the cut:

• “Kritz Kringle” Soldier Set – A stylish holiday-themed loadout complete with candy-striped rockets and a snow-covered helmet.

• “Frozen Frontlines” Map – A Control Point map featuring dynamic snowstorms and festive lighting that’s getting a lot of attention on Reddit and the Steam forums.

• New Taunts – Several holiday-themed taunts are gaining traction, including a snowball fight animation and a Scout "gift dash" loop that turns dropped presents into props.

What to Expect from Valve

While Valve has kept its cards close to the chest, past years give us a decent roadmap of what Smissmas might include:

• A new cosmetic case with winter-themed hats and effects

• Festive weapon reskins

• Free holiday items for players who log in during the event window

• A holiday map rotation featuring snowy versions of classic TF2 battlegrounds

Whether or not Valve delivers major gameplay updates remains to be seen — but if Smissmas 2023 and 2022 are any indicators, the emphasis will likely be on community content and cosmetics rather than mechanics.

Community Spirit Remains Strong

Smissmas has become more than just a content drop — it’s a moment each year when the TF2 community reconnects, celebrates creativity, and injects some holiday cheer into the servers. Between themed pub nights, custom server events, and meme-worthy item combos, December always brings out the best of TF2’s charm.

Even after 17 years, the game’s modders, artists, and mapmakers continue to breathe life into Valve’s longest-running multiplayer shooter. And Smissmas remains proof that TF2’s legacy is still being written — one snow-covered hat at a time.
