Marvel Rivals Winter Celebration Event: December 20, 2024 – January 9, 2025
From December 20, 2024, to January 9, 2025, Marvel Rivals is hosting its Winter Celebration event, packed with opportunities to score free rewards. During this period, you can dive into the new gameplay mode, Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival, and complete missions to earn skins, emotes, and other fun cosmetics. You’ll accumulate unique event currency by achieving various objectives, allowing you to unlock different rewards.
All complimentary rewards in Marvel Rivals focus on Jeff the Land Shark, while other exclusive winter skins for the event will be available for purchase using Units. You can also find winter-themed costumes for popular characters like Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Venom, and Magik at special prices in the in-game store. Hurry to grab these limited-time event skins, as their prices may increase or they might vanish after the event ends.
How to Join Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival
To jump into Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival (4v4 Arcade Mode), log into Marvel Rivals during the Winter Celebration event. Navigate to the “Play” tab, and you’ll see the new 4v4 arcade mode listed alongside Quick Match, Competitive, and Practice Range options. Gather your friends and queue up for some action in this exciting new mode.
In this festive competition, two teams composed entirely of Jeff the Land Shark will battle to cover more of the map in snow. Similar to Splatoon, the team that covers a larger area wins, but players can also eliminate opponents during the game. With eight Jeffs in one match, the chaos can be entertaining, especially when you unleash the Land Shark’s powerful Ultimate to help secure victory.
Gameplay Mechanics
When you take control of Jeff in this special mode, your main attack will not only heal allies but also coat the map in snow. Jeff’s secondary attack and additional abilities will remain consistent in this 4v4 setup.
As you play, you will have multiple missions to complete. Keep track of these alongside your Daily and Weekly quests found under the “Seasons” tab in the main menu. More missions will be added throughout the Winter Celebration event.
Rewards for the Winter Celebration Event
As you accomplish tasks in Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival, you’ll earn rewards that help you decorate a Winter Celebration postcard. The event features two types of unique currency that can be acquired through completing missions in the 4v4 mode. Accumulating these Frost types allows you to enhance your postcard, and reaching various milestones will unlock free rewards tied to Jeff the Land Shark.
For instance, reaching 100 points on the postcard will grant you a special spray linked to Jeff’s new Cuddly Fuzzlefin skin in Marvel Rivals.
Tip for Decorating Your Postcard
To decorate your postcard with Silver or Gold Frost, simply go to the Winter Celebration event menu, select the postcard, and pick from the available decorations. You’ll see how much Frost each decoration costs and how much progress it adds.
Typically, it requires only a few Frost to earn a substantial number of Atmosphere Points, allowing you to complete all available missions and unlock every decoration necessary for rewards. Missions currently available include:
- Win 3 Matches in Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival.
- Win 2 Matches in Festival Mode with your team’s Decoration Rate Above 40%.
- Complete 5 Matches in Festival Mode.
- Defeat 15 Enemies in Festival Mode.
There are five distinct decorations available to unlock, each contributing 100 points to the postcard. The grand prize is Jeff’s Cuddly Fuzzlefin skin, awarded only when you achieve all 500 points needed to complete the postcard. Other free rewards include:
Reward | Wintry Atmosphere Point Cost |
---|---|
Cuddly Fuzzlefin Spray | 100 |
All-You-Can-Eat Emote | 200 |
Cuddly Fuzzlefin Nameplate | 300 |
