Smissmas is almost upon us, and everybody here on the TF2 team's been busy getting gifts ready and standing as a group under the Valve mistletoe. The smooch count's currently at zero, but we're in this for the long haul. That's right, we'll stand here all damn week if there's some make-outs in it for us. Just try and get past us, DOTA2 team. You too, CS:GO.

The Smissmas 2014 update was a major seasonal content update for Team Fortress 2, released on December 22, 2014 Patch. It was a sequel of past community-made updates before, by Valve's request coinciding with the Christmas Workshop submissions.

The update added 29 new Winter-themed cosmetics and 7 new Festive weapons. The highlights of the update were a new beta game mode, Mannpower, along with two new beta maps, Foundry (Capture the Flag) and Gorge (Capture the Flag). Many already existing Demoman weapons had changes in their functions. Also added were three entirely new weapons, the Quickiebomb Launcher, the Iron Bomber, and the Panic Attack.
