With the annual Festive Surprise event taking place in 2022, which we predict will take place from December 22 to December 28, GTA Online snow has become a staple of the holiday season, with Los Santos and Blaine County shrouded in an icy white layer. It’s not just a visual change, as conditions can make driving in GTA Online more dangerous, and if you collect these limited-time throwables, there is a possibility of snowballing with other players. There are also collectibles to discover and rewards to be earned by logging in on certain days, so if you want to know when it’s going to snow in GTA Online in 2022, then we’ve got a rundown for you.
When will GTA Online snow come?
In GTA Online, snow often comes as part of the Festive Surprise event, and the 2022 installment will be released in the coming days. For reference, this is when previous Holiday Surprises happen:

What are GTA Online Snowmen?
“Permanent” collectible Snowmen for the event only. Destroy all 25 snowmen before the event ends to get the “Snowman” outfit. You can destroy them any way you want, hitting them with a vehicle or blowing them up is the most effective. [1/2]#GTAOnline pic.twitter.com/P4HXSA2kbvDecember 13, 2022
GTA Online Snowmen are a seasonal collectible item that will appear during the Festive Surprise event, just like GTA Online Jack O’ Lanterns did on Halloween. If you find and destroy 25 of them while it’s snowing in GTA Online, you’ll unlock The Snowman outfit for your wardrobe.

Gooch in GTA Online is an NPC that will appear during the Festive Surprise 2022 event, acting like a robber to knock you down and steal some of your cash plus snacks. If you chase The Gooch and spend them, you’ll get your items back, along with a bonus for collecting the gift they left behind, and you’ll also get The Gooch Mask reward the first time you do so.
