Is TF2 christmas thing still going on?

I recently had to send my gaming laptop to get it fix. I'm kind of sad that I am missing the christmas events in steam.

What TF2 christmas thing?

The only thing that ever happened was all users getting a free key which could open a crate. Even if you didn't log in you'll still get it.

Was there no special map like at Haloween? Its a shame if not as I really liked that mode. I had a try going on the game a couple of times over Christmas to see if there was any special modes but all I could find was a map named or similar titled to "cold front" (I cant remember if thats the correct name or not) so I was not sure if that was a special map or just a new one in general.Garfield360UK

There was a map and new gamemode, but it isn't christmas related at all, medieval mode.

Ah cool. Is it open fully or is that map and mode restricted to Christmas/New Years?Garfield360UK

Fully open, none of the maps were ever restricted before.

For the crate and key, was there any other way to get them?b-u-r-p

You got a free key which could open any crate, what are you talking about?
