The Smissmass 2020 update is one of the earliest and largest winter holiday updates. This year’s update is particularly exciting because it’s the first time Valve has released winter-themed maps during Smissmass. Between this year’s successful Scream Fortress Halloween event and the major Smissmass update, TF2 fans are looking forward to the idea that additional seasonal events are in the works. For now, players can hop into the servers anytime between December 3 and January 7 to celebrate the holidays with their favorite mercenaries.
