The Holiday Punch is a community-created melee weapon for the Heavy. It is a large pair of team-colored knitted mittens, featuring a decorative snowflake woven into the back.
This weapon functions just like the Fists except for an additional backstab-like mechanic. The weapon will always crit from behind in an arc similar to that of the backstab. Any hits from this weapon that strike targets in the back will do no damage but will cause victims to burst into laughter, leaving them temporarily defenseless. Critical hits given by crit-boost items like the Kritzkrieg that are not from behind will deal normal critical damage. Mini-crits will not cause opponents to laugh.
Taunting with the Holiday Punch equipped will perform the Showdown taunt.
The Holiday Punch was contributed to game via the Steam Workshop, under the name "Masculine Mittens".

Update history
December 15, 2011 Patch (Australian Christmas 2011)
- The Holiday Punch was added to the game.
December 21, 2011 Patch
- The Holiday Punch is now droppable and craftable.
- Added crit forces for the Holiday Punch
Unused content
- There is an unused style for the weapon, in the GCF, that makes the weapon share similar designs to the Officer's Ushanka.
Bugs
- The hit sound during the draw animation will still play despite the gloves not coming in contact with each other. This is due to the weapon sharing the same draw animation as the Killing Gloves of Boxing.
- Players can avoid laughing by jumping when hit with a critical hit.
- Bots are able to move around while taunting if forced to taunt using this weapon.
- This item does not glow when crit boosted.
- If a critical hit from this weapon hits a disguised enemy Spy, it will trigger the laugh effect, but the laugh sound will be that of the Spy, not of the class that the Spy is disguised as.
Trivia
- Holiday Punch is a drink commonly made during the holiday season.
