When does the Overwatch 2020 Winter Wonderland event start?

Overwatch’s annual holiday event Winter Wonderland is on its way back. Even with 2020 being a difficult year, Blizzard has ran each Overwatch annual event with no problems. As of this writing, we know a new Penguin Mei skin will be included in the festivities, and we can expect to see the arcade mode Mei’s Snowball Offensive expect to make a return. Here is when you can expect to get into the game and earn all the brand new skins and other cosmetics for your heroes.

The 2020 Winter Wonderland event will begin on December 15th, 2020, and will run until January 5th, 2021.
