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.

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.

On February 14, the message of the day that welcomes the player when they connect to a server also wishes they enjoy Valentine's Day.
On April 1st, also known as April Fools' Day (or simply April Fools), there is a chance players do the Schadenfreude instead of the default taunts. The message of the day also notes the day.
