The New Year Twitch Drops are divided into two phases. During the first phase, the Escape from Tarkov drops will be available and players can acquire rewards for the title. On the other hand, the second phase will feature drops for EFT: Arena, with players being able to grab items/rewards for that game.
The New Year Twitch Drops event will become available on December 30, 2024, while drops for EFT: Arena will begin on January 4, 2025. Once the drops are active, players can watch a live streamer on Twitch participating in the event. You won't be able to acquire the drops if you watch the stream of someone not participating.

How to get the New Year Twitch Drops?
Similar to all previous EFT Twitch Drop campaigns, you have to watch any participating live streamers on the Amazon-owned platform. The drops will reset each day, hence you will have to keep watching and supporting the streamers for a certain amount of time to get the rewards.
Participating streamers usually have a “drops enabled” tag visible on their stream. Once you come across someone with the aforementioned tag, tune in and grab your New Year Twitch Drops.
