The coziest season of the year is almost here, and League of Legends is ready to celebrate with the return of its beloved Winter map.
All I want for Christmas is you, as Mariah Carey said, and to celebrate the season of snow, good food, cozy blankets, red outfits, and presents, the Winter map is making its return to League of Legends! There’s nothing better than seeing the game we love embrace the holiday spirit and bring back one of its most charming and festive maps ever.
Winter map details
If you love the Christmas season, this is the perfect time to jump into League of Legends. As soon as you enter the Rift, you’ll be greeted by a snowy wonderland—cozy fireplaces, festive hats, and countless little details that capture the magic of the holidays. Even the nexus transforms into a glowing snow globe. An adorable poro rides around on a toy train, delivering gifts to kids (and adults alike).
In the Winter map, some of the red minions will carry stars, while some of the blue minions will carry what appears to be a cupcake. The entire map is adorned with Christmas trees, candy canes, golden stars, lights, snowmen, sleds, and many other details that will truly put you in the holiday spirit.
And, of course, it’s not just you sitting down in that ugly sweatshirt your mom made you wear to match the whole family. The Baron is also dressed up for the holidays, sporting various Christmas hats and gloves.
When does the new Winter map go live in League of Legends?
The Winter map will be back in League of Legends on Nov. 19, alongside patch 25.13. If you needed a reason to come back to the game, this might be the right opportunity. Grab your friends and flex your Christmas skins and compositions on the Rift. And, of course, have fun!
That's all for now. Stick around for more League of Legends news, guides, and updates on esports.gg.
