In this guide for Marvel Rivals, we’ll give you the lowdown on the Winter Celebration event’s release times for your region and highlight what awaits you.

#### Marvel Rivals’ Winter Celebration Event Release Time on PC, PS5, and Xbox

Circle Friday, December 20, on your calendar because that’s when Marvel Rivals rolls out its Winter Celebration event. Kicking off at 2 a.m. EST, as revealed on their YouTube channel, this timed release will be synchronized globally across PC, PS5, and Xbox platforms. However, NetEase Games remains coy about the event’s duration.

#### What to Expect from the Marvel Rivals Winter Celebration Event

Marvel Rivals welcomes its first winter event with the Winter Celebration, introducing five spectacular winter-themed skins along with a fresh new game mode titled Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival.

This new game mode seems to take inspiration from the Splatoon series, known for its vivid multiplayer shooting experience. The trailer depicts teams of Jeff the Land Sharks engaging in vibrant matches where they paint the map in bold blue and pink hues. The goal? Cover as much territory as possible, as tracked by a meter at the top of your screen. One Jeff, in an interesting twist, even uses the “It’s Jeff” ultimate to spread paint and ensnare opponents, leading to a playful scenario where another Jeff unleashes an ultimate in response, creating a frenzy akin to a matryoshka doll but with sharks.

When it comes to skins for this Winter Celebration debut, five characters are getting festive makeovers, each aligning with three distinct themes. Notably, Jeff the Land Shark’s special Winter Celebration outfit is a complimentary feature this year, accompanied by a variety of other “presents from Jeff.” This indicates that the other four skins might require Units for purchase.

While specific mission details required to unlock the Jeff skin and additional winter-themed rewards remain under wraps, those keen to dive in will need to await the event’s official start.
