'''Holidays''' are special events in ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', commonly coinciding with a cultural holiday or birthday celebration. '''Holiday restrictions''' are placed on [[items]] to enable players to equip them only for a specific holiday period.

'''Holidays''' are special events in ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', usually automatically set within the game to coincide with a cultural holiday, birthday celebration, or other commemorations. '''Holiday restrictions''' are sometimes placed on [[items]] to restrict players to only use or view them during a specific holiday period. Holiday-restricted [[cosmetic items]] and [[Noise Maker]]s can be equipped at any time, but they are not visible or cannot be used respectively outside of the holiday.
  
Items with holiday restrictions have the restriction denoted in their attributes as "Holiday Restriction: [name]". The restricting of items was first implemented with the [[Haunted Halloween Special]] Update in 2009.

Items with holiday restrictions have the restriction denoted in their attributes as "Holiday Restriction: [name]". The restricting of items was first implemented with the [[Haunted Hallowe'en Special]] Update in 2009.  
  
Equipping an item with a Holiday restriction while that Holiday is not active results in the item simply not appearing in the game world.

Soon followed by the first [[#Halloween|Halloween holiday]], '''TF Birthday''' was the first holiday introduced to ''Team Fortress 2''. Since August of 2009, to celebrate the original release of the ''[[Team Fortress]]'' mod, the game automatically activates an annual [[Birthday mode]] holiday. While Birthday mode activates other game features, the [[Noise Maker#TF Birthday|TF Birthday Noise Maker]] is the only Birthday-restricted item.

Birthday mode can be enabled on community servers by setting <code>tf_birthday 1</code> in the [[Dedicated server configuration|server.cfg]] file or by typing it in the [[console]].  
=== Halloween ===
 
The Halloween holiday was the first holiday introduced to ''Team Fortress 2'' and has historically taken place in a few days before [[w:Halloween|Halloween]] and lasts a week or two into early November. This holiday can also be encountered out of season during a [[Full Moon]] event. When the Halloween holiday is in effect, these Halloween restricted items become visible in-game. Originally, these items were obtained by picking up [[Haunted Halloween Gift]]s that spawned on [[Mann Manor]], [[Eyeaduct]], [[Ghost Fort]], and [[Helltower]]. With the event of [[Scream Fortress 2015]], these items became obtainable only by completion of [[Merasmissions]].  In [[Scream Fortress 2017]], Merasmissions were incorporated into the general [[ConTracker|Contracts system]].

=== {{anchor|Halloween}} Halloween ===  
The [[Birthday|TF Birthday]] holiday celebrates the original release of the ''[[Team Fortress]]'' mod, and is activated late August of every year. This holiday can be enabled on community servers by by setting <code>tf_birthday 1</code> in the [[Dedicated server configuration|server.cfg]] file. The TF Birthday restriction is currently exclusive to [[Noise Maker#TF Birthday|Noise Maker - TF Birthday]].

Since October 2009, Halloween is an annual ''Team Fortress 2'' holiday. This holiday originally started a few days before [[w:Halloween|Halloween]], lasting a week or two into early November. Originally, these items were obtained by picking up [[Haunted Halloween Gift]]s that spawned on [[Mann Manor]], [[Eyeaduct]], [[Ghost Fort]], and [[Helltower]]. In [[Scream Fortress 2015]] and [[Scream Fortress 2016]], these items were obtainable only by completing [[Merasmissions]].

Holidays are special events in Team Fortress 2, usually automatically set within the game to coincide with a cultural holiday, birthday celebration, or other commemorations. Holiday restrictions are sometimes placed on items to restrict players to only use or view them during a specific holiday period. Holiday-restricted cosmetic items and Noise Makers can be equipped at any time, but they are not visible or cannot be used respectively outside of the holiday.

Items with holiday restrictions have the restriction denoted in their attributes as "Holiday Restriction: [name]". The restricting of items was first implemented with the Haunted Hallowe'en Special Update in 2009.

Holidays

TF Birthday

Soon followed by the first Halloween holiday, TF Birthday was the first holiday introduced to Team Fortress 2. Since August of 2009, to celebrate the original release of the Team Fortress mod, the game automatically activates an annual Birthday mode holiday. While Birthday mode activates other game features, the TF Birthday Noise Maker is the only Birthday-restricted item.

Birthday mode can be enabled on community servers by setting tf_birthday 1 in the server.cfg file or by typing it in the console.

Halloween

Since October 2009, Halloween is an annual Team Fortress 2 holiday. This holiday originally started a few days before Halloween, lasting a week or two into early November. Originally, these items were obtained by picking up Haunted Halloween Gifts that spawned on Mann Manor, Eyeaduct, Ghost Fort, and Helltower. In Scream Fortress 2015 and Scream Fortress 2016, these items were obtainable only by completing Merasmissions. From Scream Fortress 2017 onward, these items can be obtained by opening Halloween Packages normally rewarded for completing Halloween Contracts (also called Merasmissions) that are activated alongside the update.
