GTA Online celebrates the holiday season with exclusive gifts and events

Rockstar Games is bringing the festive spirit to GTA Online with a series of exclusive gifts, discounts, and seasonal updates. From December 19 to December 31, players can enjoy free rewards, limited-time events, and new gameplay features. The holiday-themed surprises are aimed at enhancing the gaming experience for the global GTA Online community.

Holiday gifts and rewards for all players

Rockstar Games has introduced a variety of festive gifts that players can claim during the holiday season. These include unique items such as a playful penguin costume, a radiant gold reindeer necklace, a glittering gold star outfit, and a snowball blaster for winter fun.

Players will also receive a fully stocked firework cannon with 20 rockets, along with a replenishment of their snacks, ammunition, and gear.

In addition, players who explore the streets of Southern San Andreas can encounter the festive Happy Holidays Hauler event, where a custom-designed JoBuilt Phantom truck and trailer adorned with holiday decorations deliver surprise rewards.

These include in-game cash, experience points, festive sweaters, and restocked supplies—adding an extra layer of holiday cheer to the game.

New vehicles and content updates

As part of the festive celebration, Rockstar Games has released two newly decommissioned law enforcement vehicles for purchase: the Invetero Coquette D10 Pursuit and the Willard Outreach Faction. These additions provide players with exciting new options to expand their vehicle collections.

Seasonal gameplay events are also making a return, with fan-favorite modes like Entourage (Festive Remix) offering triple GTA$ and RP rewards. For players looking to earn additional in-game currency and level up, this is an excellent opportunity to maximize rewards during the holiday season.

The game’s economy has also seen updates, with Garment Factory passive income activities—such as Pizza Deliveries and Dispatch Work—earning double payouts. These changes encourage players to further develop their in-game businesses and progress through the ranks of GTA Online's criminal underworld.

Limited-time discounts and opportunities

To coincide with the holiday season, Rockstar Games has introduced a new round of discounts, offering up to 40% off select vehicles, including aircraft and high-end luxury cars. From December 25 to January 1, players can snag these deals to enhance their in-game collections at reduced prices.

One standout offer is the Gallivanter Baller ST, a luxurious four-seater sports utility vehicle, now available from Legendary Motorsport at a discounted price of $400,500 (down from $534,000). With such deals, players have the perfect opportunity to upgrade their fleets during the festive period.

Looking ahead, Rockstar has announced that additional discounts and new items will be released during the first week of January 2025. Players are encouraged to stay tuned for these updates to further enrich their gameplay experience.

What’s next for GTA Online in 2025

As 2024 comes to an end, Rockstar Games remains dedicated to keeping GTA Online fresh and engaging. The game’s world continues to evolve, with regular updates adding new features, missions, and opportunities for players to explore.

While there is still no official news regarding the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI, the company’s commitment to GTA Online ensures that players will have plenty to enjoy in the meantime.

With its ever-expanding online world, GTA Online has solidified itself as a cornerstone of multiplayer gaming. The holiday season serves as a reminder of Rockstar’s ability to deliver unique, immersive experiences that resonate with both long-time fans and new players alike.

Players are encouraged to make the most of these festive opportunities, as the holiday events and discounts are only available until December 31. As the new year begins, the game is set to roll out even more content and updates, promising an exciting start to 2025 for the GTA Online community.
