Assemble a Christmas loadout in CS2 with this set of skins.

Christmas is upon us, meaning it's the perfect time to build a custom loadout in CS2 full of skins that resemble this period of the year.

Although there are plenty of weapons available in CS2, we'll focus on those that are popular. After all, there's no reason to spend extra money if you're not going to use the weapon in the end.

This article will focus on green and red CS2 skins as these are the two main colors that represent Christmas.
