The 2025 Christmas Event has arrived in YBA with a wide range of seasonal bonuses, limited stand skins, new codes, gameplay adjustments, and a major stand rework. This event runs until January 9th, giving players plenty of time to hunt presents, unlock returning Christmas skins, and take advantage of boosted spawn rates throughout the game.
YBA Christmas Event Update 2025 Guide – Codes List
Holiday World Changes and Bonuses
Christmas decorations now cover the Main Game, setting the stage for a festive grind. Players benefit from 2x Item Spawns, which can stack with weekend rates to reach a maximum of 4x spawns. This makes the event one of the best farming windows of the entire year. Additionally, 2x Stand Skin chances are active, giving everyone a stronger shot at pulling high-rarity skins.
Christmas Present Drop Rates
Christmas Presents are the centerpiece of the event. They spawn naturally in the Main Game with a 0.6% chance, but the real acceleration comes from game modes. Winning matches grants presents at the following rates:
1v1 Matches
• 4%
2v2 Matches
• 3%
Casual SBR
• 3rd Place: 10%
• 2nd Place: 15%
• 1st Place: 20%
Competitive SBR
• 3rd Place: 15%
• 2nd Place: 20%
• 1st Place: 25%
These numbers make SBR the most reliable way to acquire presents—especially in Competitive, where the highest drop rates apply.
Free Hot Chocolate at the Café
The Café is handing out free Hot Chocolate for the duration of the event. While it’s a small addition, it adds to the holiday atmosphere and gives players a fun seasonal interaction during their grind.
Stand Rework: Cream
Cream receives a complete overhaul in this update. The rework introduces:
• New abilities
• Updated VFX
• Fresh animations
• Exploit vulnerability patches
The improvements make Cream feel more modern and functional, providing a smoother and more competitive playstyle.
New Event Codes (Prestige 3 Required)
Two limited-time codes are available and expire on New Year’s Day:
CHRISTMAS2025
• 1 Lucky Arrow
• 1 Christmas Present
PARAGONLUCK
• 1 Lucky Arrow
These codes are valuable for anyone aiming to roll high-tier skins during the event’s boosted rates.
