Of course, Call of Duty also regularly celebrates Christmas in-game, especially with Christmas operator skins. We've rounded up the coolest Call of Duty Christmas skins of the last few years.
It's Christmastime again, and we're all in the holiday spirit. Obviously, we will use the holidays to play as much as possible, but we also want to look all festive, right? Fortunately, almost all of today's multiplayer games offer a plethora of skins, and usually quite a few that celebrate Christmas as well.
Call of Duty is no exception and usually hosts a fun little Christmas event every year, redecorating some maps and even introducing some slightly changed game modes. As part of these events, there are always some bundles in the shop that provide us with Christmas operator skins. Today we're going to take a look at some of the best Xmas skins from CoD history, with skins from older games as well as from CoD: Mobile.
Call of Duty: The Best Christmas Skins
Klaus
Let's start with a more recent Operator skin, Klaus, from Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0:
Klaus was introduced with Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0: Season 1 Reloaded in 2022. We don't need to explain why the skin is Christmassy, do we? The operator wears a Santa hat and his name is Klaus... Not Santa Claus, of course, but Klaus Fisker, but you can't make it much more obvious. The skin is definitely cool, and the two weapon blueprints included in the bundle are also decorated in Christmas red and white.
By the way, here we have our own article on the Klaus Bundle, if you want to know what it cost and what's included.
Yarn Burner
Moving on to CoD: Vanguard:
Yes, Vanguard wasn't the best Call of Duty, but the Festive Fervor event for Christmas was pretty nice and gave us Christmas skins too. In the Santa's Slay Bundle we got the Yarn Burner Skin for Operator Lucas, complete with Ugly Sweater and Santa Hat. In, addition, the weapons in the bundle fired red-green tracer ammunition – it doesn't get much more Christmassy than that.
Vinderblood
And another Vanguard Skin from the Festive Fervor Event:
For all those who are not into cozy Christmas, and want to be taken a little more seriously. The Vinderblood Skin for Operator Roland in Vanguard is based on the Krampus myth, and was available in the Krampus Unleashed Bundle. In addition to the operator skin, the highlight of the bundle was the finishing move "Reindog Rampage". In this finisher, the player calls out a German Shepherd with cute reindeer antlers and Christmas presents on its back, which then mauls your opponent. Here you can see the finisher in a short clip .
Santa Gnaws
Our latest addition to the list is Santa Gnaws from Modern Warfare 3.
This skin, just like the Viderblood skin, is more on the scary side... It is available as part of the CODMAS event in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. Obviously, you will also get two legendary blueprints with festive tracer rounds, as well as some other cosmetics to decorate your guns with. So make sure to grab the Santa Gnaws skin and hand out some presents to your enemies!
Santa Snoop
And that brings us to probably the coolest Christmas skin in Call of Duty ever:
Snoop Dogg by now is a real staple in CoD. He was in CoD for the first time in Ghosts (2013) as part of a voice pack, and just recently in Vanguard (2021) as an operator. In CoD: Mobile he appears as Santa himself and how awesome is this operator skin? Of course, he also has a Christmassy RUS-79u blueprint to match his outfit, sparkling in festive gold and red. If you want to celebrate Christmas in style in CoD: Mobile, you definitely need to get the Snoop Skin! These were our favorite Christmas skins in Call of Duty. Did we forget an awesome skin? Which Christmas skins have you celebrated the most in recent years?
