As long as you don’t mess up too bad, you should be able to knock these out in no time, and once you’ve completed all nine, the Snowmando skin will be added to your locker.

If, for whatever reason, you don’t want to or can’t complete one of the challenges, you can simply wait a day or two, and more will be available.

The Snowmando outfit will be rewarded for completing 9 challenges.

Snowmando was actually leaked before the event even got going, and it’s sure to continue being a popular one long after the event wraps up, along with all of the other skins and cosmetics that have also been added.
