You may want to cancel your plans tonight because Overwatch's Winter Wonderland is here. The seasonal theme lasts from December 13 to January 2.

Overwatch is a multiplayer first-person shooter, best played with teams, created by Blizzard Entertainment. It is playable on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, according to Blizzard, in May 2016.

The Winter Wonderland fun holiday-themed event's trailer makes the Widowmaker's antics noteworthy. It lifts up a spring of mistletoe and then reacts to it with a disgusted stomp. There are many cute holiday-themed costumes for several of the characters, some being better-looking than others, according to The Mary Sue.

Also available are the Winter Loot Boxes, which Blizzard said are packed with more than 100 cosmetic trimmings being unveiled for the first time. These rewards can be purchased or earned, and are sure to add pizzazz to any enthusiast's gameplay experience.

Overwatch's Winter Wonderland features a new brawl called "Mei's Snowball Offensive," which is a 6-versus-6 single elimination competition. The official description of how it works says: "In this brawl, Mei's Endothermic Blaster no longer unleashes a stream of frost or shoots icicles. Instead, it's been modified to fire a single, super-powered snowball. Taking down an enemy only takes one hit, but a miss can be costly. Once your weapon is empty, your enemies will have the advantage as you search for the nearest snow pile to reload, so don't forget to cover your retreat with ice walls and cryo-freeze to block their attacks - and when the battle starts to heat up, you can activate Mei's Ultimate, which turns her blaster into a semi-automatic snowball launcher, allowing you to fire continuously as your enemies scatter."

You will be pleased to know that the animation is not just present in the Overwatch Winter Wonderland trailer, but it is also shown in the game. So, are you ready to see the Widowmaker? It's time to login!
