GTA Online Holidays update: 5 best things to do (December 21-January 1, 2025)

1) Buy the snow-friendly vehicles

The latest GTA Online weekly update not only kickstarted holiday celebrations in Los Santos but also covered the map in snow, making it necessary to pick up vehicles that can traverse through the snow with ease. While vehicles like Oppressor Mk II are among the best ones to travel during the snow, some may prefer something more grounded.

For such players, it’s recommended to buy vehicles like the Pfister Comet Safari and the Declasse Draugur. Both of the rides perform well on the snow-covered land, allowing one to carry on their daily activities efficiently, despite the snow.

2) Get the Yeti Outfit

The next thing one should do is get the limited-time Yeti Outfit if they missed it last year. The Yeti, otherwise known as the Abominable Snowman, is a creature that can be found in the forests during snowy weather. Killing the Yeti unlocks the Yeti Outfit, allowing players to role-play as the creature and create fun moments in the game.

To do so, players first need to find all GTA Online Yeti Hunt locations. Each of the locations will give players a clue and $10,000. Once all clues are found, the ape-like creature will spawn in a circled area (Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness) between 21:00 and 06:00.

3) Hunt Snowmen

Another thing gamers must do in the ongoing GTA Online Holidays update is to collect all snowmen scattered throughout the map of Southern San Andreas. First added with 2022’s Los Santos Drug Wars DLC, the collectible has been a recurring seasonal event that allows players to earn a decent amount of money and RP.

Players must find all the GTA 5 Snowman locations to claim an extra $125,000 and unlock the Snowman Outfit if they didn’t last year.

4) Role-play as a cop

Apart from giving the N.O.O.S.E. outfit as part of the Agents of Sabotage DLC, Rockstar Games also added two brand new Dispatch Missions to the game - Health Code Violations and Obstruction of Justice. Players can enjoy double cash and RP by completing any of the Dispatch missions till January 1, 2025.

Moreover, the new GTA Online Holidays update has added two brand-new cop cars to the game:

• Invetero Coquette D10 Pursuit
• Willard Outreach Faction

Both vehicles can be used for Dispatch Work missions; however, players can create many fun moments by role-playing as a cop in Los Santos using these vehicles.
