'''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 Hallowe'en Special]] Update in 2009.

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.
  
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.

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]].

Equipping an item with a Holiday restriction while that Holiday is not active results in the item simply not appearing in the game world.

=== {{anchor|Halloween}} Halloween ===
 +
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]]. From [[Scream Fortress 2017]] onward, these items can be obtained by opening [[Halloween Package]]s normally rewarded for completing [[Halloween Contracts]] (also called Merasmissions) that are activated alongside the update.

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. When the Halloween Holiday is in effect, [[Haunted Halloween Gift]]s will spawn on [[Mann Manor]], [[Eyeaduct]], [[Ghost Fort]], and [[Helltower]].

The [[Australian Christmas 2011]] Update introduced the Smissmas holiday restriction, formerly known as Winter. This restriction is currently exclusive to [[Noise Maker#Winter Holiday|Noise Maker - Winter Holiday]].
The Full Moon restriction was introduced with the [[Very Scary Halloween Special|2011 Very Scary Halloween Special]]. All previous items that were restricted to just Halloween were updated to be equippable during both Halloween and Full Moon. The items will be available for use during [[Full Moon]]s according to a formula that closely approximates the lunar calendar, or servers running [[Halloween mode]].

== TF Birthday ==

== Minor holidays ==
The TF [[Birthday]] celebrates the original release of the ''[[Team Fortress]]'' mod, and is activated on August 24th of every year. This Holiday can be enabled on other days on a per server basis by setting <code>tf_birthday 1</code> in the [[Dedicated server configuration|server.cfg]] file.
+
On February 14, the message of the day that welcomes the player when they connect to a server also wishes they enjoy [[w:Valentine's Day|Valentine's Day]].

On April 1st, also known as [[w:April Fools' Day|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.

On April 8, the [[Tribute to Rick May|Soldier statue]] in [[Granary (Control Point)|Granary]] appears in most other Valve-made maps, as well as some community-created ones, in memory of [[Rick May]], the Soldier's original voice actor who died on this day in 2020.
*2011: December 15th - December 31

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.

Minor holidays

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.

On April 8, the Soldier statue in Granary appears in most other Valve-made maps, as well as some community-created ones, in memory of Rick May, the Soldier's original voice actor who died on this day in 2020.
