The Australian Christmas was a major content update for Team Fortress 2, released on December 17, 2010.

A new game mode, Medieval Mode, was introduced, featuring the new map Degroot Keep.

The update increased backpack slots from 200 to 300.

During the event, the Festive Winter Crate became unlockable with a Festive Winter Crate Key that is only available as a purchase from the Mann Co. Store for US$2.49.

Hats

Tools

  • Stamps - Buy a map stamp to get a hat, and whenever you play the map that you purchased the stamp on, you will have a particle effect attached to you.

Trivia

  • In Australia, it is actually summer during Christmas as opposed to winter in the Northern hemisphere because of the tilt of the Earth's axis during this time of the year.
