<p>With December almost halfway through, a lot of people are wondering why <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/blizzard" title="Blizzard Entertainment">Blizzard</a> has yet to announce their next event, Winter Wonderland. What’s great is that we finally have a date, plus a tease for upcoming new skins. </p>

<p>As per the <a href="https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/1337861091976605698">official announcement</a>, Overwatch Winter Wonderland 2020 takes place from Dec. 15–Jan. 5. We should expect a whole bunch of cosmetics to come with the event, and the first one teased is that of Penguin Mei which you can check out <a href="https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/1338197244533682179">here</a>. </p>

<p>We should expect some other skins to be announced when the full preview drops. I’ll admit, we haven’t been getting any new game modes recently, but the devs have managed to bring in some very interesting skins. No doubt Winter Wonderland will have some more great looks for our favorite heroes. </p>

<p>We should also expect the return of some Winter game modes like Yeti Hunt and Mei’s Snowball Offensive. While I’m hoping that Blizzard would give us some newer game modes this year, I think the pandemic has forced devs to just make do with what they have; it’s basically a miracle that we’re getting anything new at all. </p>
