FUCK YEAH got Nutcracker Zen from my 5th free box. The only skin I wanted from this event. It's a Christmas miracle!

Over the course of this event I have gotten Ms Claus Mei, Santa Torb,Yeti Winston, and Symmetra Highlight intro. From the free boxes I got the Rudolph Roadhog which was the other skin I really wanted. I'm still sitting on 7500 Gold, so I'll probably buy up the rest of what I am missing, but needless to say it's been a pretty solid event for me so far.

I got Lucio's new skin from the 5 boxes, but that's about it. Still pretty cool!

Weird. Only one box for me was only a blue. Rained purples and yellows.
Thanks for the loot, Blizz. It was all junk and dupes aside from Santa Torb (a hero I don't play) in the last box, but I appreciate the thought.
Zen is the only one I've wanted this whole event and it's starting to look unlikely unless I break and purchase some more boxes. 😢

Just paid for 11 loot boxes so I can get the hot chocolate player icon. All I got was the peppermint icon....3 times in a row.
I want to get those last Winter Brawl achievements but it's such a pain and now it takes forever to get into a game. I should have tried for it out last week.
Dumping money into a random chance system is always a bad idea if you're looking for something specific.
It is odd that player icons are the only loot box item that is entirely locked behind random chance though.

Ok, that five free loot box thing is a legitimately great Christmas present to the fans. I wish more companies did it.
Pulled a legendary Pharah skin AND Scrooge Mccree AND Cyber Sombra, so I'm happy.

What, maybe Blizzard knows I've been naughty, only playing for the loot boxes. I'm probably too low level also.
Uk and got mine, exit the game and then open it again.

Tried it, and on the account that lives overwatch, and still nothing. Maybe it goes out in waves. I'm ok with not getting them in any case. It's cool that you guys got in on it.

Got Yeti Winston, Lucio's winter epic skin, Widow's winter highlight (duplicate) and an epic money drop from my 5 free crates. Not bad. Now I only need the Roadhog skin and I have everything I wanted from this event. And I still have 10900 or so coins so I can buy that if it doesn't drop.

5 free boxes were pretty good to me. Still looking for the Pharah, Reaper and Winston skins tho.

I got 4 epics, and 2 legendaries. Two of them were duplicates, only new Christmas item was the Reaper skin. Can't really complain, better than nothing.

It seems like there's a chance it can glitch out. I checked it with remote play, so I may have screwed up.

I got mine, unboxed McCree's Gambler and Tracer's Elf. Too bad there aren't any trades 
Of all the Christmas skins, the only ones I didn't want from Day 1 was Reaper's (because I have Halloween) and Zarya's for being terrible (and I don't like Zarya). As I looked through every character's lists, I jokingly remarked that Zarya's emote being legendary rank is going to disappoint a lot of people.
First legend I got was the Zarya emote. Second legend was non-Christmas. Third was non-Christmas. Out of 4 pinks, three non-Christmas and the Reaper skin (nice, but of no use).
I had little hopes for the 5 free boxes. Four were WWBW/WBBW, one had a pink and it was Zarya's Christmas skin.
Have mercy..

Dude the Zarya emote is fucking awesome. It's legendary for good reason
