When an upcoming holiday becomes globally recognized, you can expect Overwatch 2 to celebrate it in some way. The game will usually feature a multi-week special event that may bring new game modes for a limited time, but there will also be special skins available for your favorite heroes. These are the best holiday-themed skins you can get in Overwatch 2.

Overwatch 2 Top 10 Christmas Skins

Black Lily Widowmaker

Black Lily is a dark purple dress that Widowmaker can wear to celebrate Lunar New Year. It will also increase his body hair, which is not very common in his other skins. You can easily see her tattoos on her arm and back, which helps tie everything together beautifully. Widowmaker has some great skins, but Black Lily is probably our favorite due to its simplicity and beauty.

Director Reinhardt

Driver Reinhardt is a Winter Wonderland skin that really gives this adorable tank a Polar Express feel. He wears an armored driver’s uniform and sports a fancy mustache, which is nice and good, but what we love the most about this skin is how it affects a certain sound. When you use his Charge ability, Reinhardt will make steam train sounds.

Cultist Zenyatta

As peaceful as an omnic Zenyatta is, we loved seeing him grow into a fearful worshiper of Cthulu. Cultist is a Halloween horror skin that turns Zenyatta purple, gives him tentacles, puts him in dark robes, and turns his orbs into ever-watching eyes. It also affects vocal lines, says Zen, including his Ultimate line, which is always something we support. Cultist is easily one of the best Overwatch skins of all time.

cupid hanzo

There’s only one bow and arrow user in Overwatch 2 so far, so making him Cupid makes sense. This Valentine’s Day skin puts Hanzo in white clothes and sandals and lets his hair grow out a bit to make him look a bit more dreamy. It has small wings on its back and there are also noise disturbances here. Storm Arrow’s hits will feel like plucking the strings of a harp and using her Ultimate to play some mellow jazz from the dating sim Loverwatch available this Valentine’s Day.

jingle tracker

Jingle is a skin that dresses up Tracer as one of Santa’s elves for Christmas. He wears green stockings, shoes, and a Santa hat to go along with his Chronic Accelerator which takes the form of a mint. To get everyone in the holiday spirit, she has a bunch of altered voice lines when this skin is activated, and whenever she uses her Blink ability, you can hear bells rattling above her.

pumpkin reaper

Sometimes a good Reaper can feel like an unstoppable force. When they have the Pumpkin Skin equipped and look like the Headless Horseman from Sleepy Hollow, it’s even more intimidating. You can’t take the pumpkin head off, but the Reaper’s intimidating presence here is great and much better than almost any other character skin in the game. Their weapons are covered in pumpkin lit candles and we love the connection with the story of Junkenstein.

santaclad torbjorn

You can’t spend Christmas without Santa Claus. While most people would probably point to Reinhardt as the most Santa-like character on Overwatch 2’s roster, it’s Torbjorn who dons the all-too-familiar red suit. On the surface, Santaclad is a basic case of putting Torb in a Santa costume, but his backpack also transforms into a pair of Christmas trees, and his vocal lines are adjusted to be a little more cheerful.

Shin Ryeong D.Va

D.Va has a lot of great options for her best skin, but Shin Ryeong is definitely up there. This Halloween Terror skin turns your robot into a haunted temple, but it’s the pilot details that really stand out. D.Va is becoming a fox spirit, with clawed hands and feet and a ghostly tail and fox ears. His eyes also have a creepy glow that we love.

Will-O’-Wisp Tracker

Another aspect of Halloween that we love is Will-O’-Wisp. Tracer takes on a scary pale glow and her hair is colored green. Chronal Accelerator transforms into an aggressive looking jack-o’-lantern, and his clothes look like something out of a Tim Burton movie. It’s a brilliant way to capture the spirit of Halloween.

witch of mercy

Mercy is seen as someone who is always looking to lend a helping hand. This completely transforms into her witch skin, making her an antagonistic force in Dr. Junkenstein’s story. Her cane turns into a broom, and the fall colors that play on her clothes are a perfect match for the time of year.
