GTA Online snow has finally arrived for the 2023 holiday season, continuing the annual winter tradition in Los Santos and Blaine County. The whole region has been covered with a blanket of snow, and plenty of festive events, activities, and rewards have been added for GTA Online. Snowmen mean their heads kicked in, Gooch is back to surprise you with a festive mugging, and the Happy Holidays Hauler has arrived to drop presents ripe for looting. Here's everything that has arrived with the GTA Online snow and holiday season event.

A new inclusion for 2023, the GTA Online Happy Holidays Hauler is a bright red truck that can be found driving around the map dropping presents – which include various consumables plus two exclusive eCola and Sprunk festive sweaters. If you spot this holiday juggernaut then make sure you follow it, so you can gather up any gifts that drop from the trailer.
GTA Online Snowmen Locations
The 25 GTA Online Snowmen have returned to Los Santos with the arrival of snow, which means you can earn yourself plenty of GTA$ and the Snowman outfit for your wardrobe by destroying them all. They're slightly different to the GTA Online Jack O' Lanterns that appeared over Halloween.
You can use our handy GTA Online Snowman map to narrow things down. You can destroy them however want too - smash them up, blow them up, drive over them. Whatever takes your fancy.
