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 similarly to the Fists except for an additional backstab-esque mechanic. The weapon always deals critical hits from behind in an arc similar to that of the Backburner's (approximately 90 degrees). Any critical hits from this weapon, whether from behind or otherwise, do no damage, but cause victims to burst into laughter, leaving them temporarily defenseless. Those under the effects of an ÜberCharge can be forced to laugh. Victims who also have the Holiday Punch equipped and held are always forced to laugh when hit by a Heavy wielding the Holiday Punch, regardless of the damage or angle of the hit. Mini-crits do not cause opponents to laugh. Laughing only occurs if the victim is in a position where they would normally be able to taunt; this means that critical hits do not affect disguised or cloaked Spies, Engineers hauling a building in any way, or victims who are underwater, in the air, or already taunting.
Taunting with the Holiday Punch equipped results in the High Noon taunt.
The Holiday Punch was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Unused content
- An unused texture exists in the game files for this weapon; it bears a similar design to the scrapped Officer's Ushanka style seen in the Steam Workshop file.
- This weapon has an unused kill icon.
Bugs
- This item does not glow when crit-boosted.
- The Strange variant counts tickles as times the player has hit an enemy with a crit, therefore even if the enemy is already laughing or taunting, the counter still rises. This also means that other Heavies wearing this item that are forced to laugh by a normal punch do not increase the counter.
- The Holiday Punch does not appear when inspecting it from the backpack menu.
Trivia
- Holiday punch is a drink commonly made during the holiday season.
- The Holiday Punch was first teased on the first day of the Australian Christmas Update 2011, on the bottom right corner of the title image.
