Top 10 best Christmas skins in League of Legends

by

As someone who’s spent countless hours battling it out in the League of Legends arena, I can confidently say that these holiday skins are nothing short of magical! And among all these winter wonderlands, there’s one champion that truly takes the cake – the Winterblessed Diana.

Christmas is just about here! If you’re keen on spreading festive joy within the realm of League of Legends, you’ll find plenty of fantastic choices for captivating skins that will help you embrace the holiday mood.

When it comes to the variety of winter-inspired character skins available in the game, making a decision can sometimes be tricky due to the numerous options. While there are traditional and recognizable Christmas skins, collections like Winterblessed and Snow Day offer some standout choices that are slightly less predictable and won’t put too much strain on your wallet.

League of Legends has been popular for more than ten years, which is long enough for several holiday seasons to pass. Skins that are typically available during this festive period are usually only offered around Christmas time, so if you’re interested, it would be a good idea to get them before they disappear again.

Here are the 10 best League of Legends Christmas skins.

10. Workshop Nunu and Willump – 520 RP

If you’ve exhausted your funds on Christmas gifts for your dear ones and find yourself with some extra RP, Workshop Nunu and Willump is an excellent pick. This skin received a favorable update in 2018, as the League team’s design overhaul has made it an outstanding choice.

As a gamer, I’ve got to say, decking out Willump with a vibrant red schnoz and transforming Nunu into one of Santa’s jolly helpers is an absolute delight! Too bad they don’t tug a sleigh around in the game like they do in the artwork, but for the price, this skin is nothing short of amazing.

As a gamer, I can’t help but feel like these two characters are straight out of a Disney flick! Their chemistry is spot-on and they make an excellent choice for this themed skin. Even though their animations aren’t altered, the ones from the original model match the theme perfectly.

9. Snow Day Singed – 975 RP

If you’re seeking a cheerier appearance for one of Arcane’s major villains, Snow Day Singed offers just that! Instead of using poison gas, he now creates a flurry of light snow, allows him to throw snowballs, and instead of a shield, he now carries a sled.

Singed is the sort of character who’s incredibly annoying to play against, and there’s something about tossing a snowball right in someone’s face that just channels that type of energy. And, if you’re a fan of The Polar Express, his snow machine sounds just like a train chugging along.

Remember, you’re not proxying lanes, you’re “spreading Christmas cheer”.

8. Ice Toboggan Corki – 1820 RP

The Ice Toboggan Corki isn’t suitable for all tastes. It’s more like a cherished item, such as an exquisite wine that has matured over time, or perhaps a fine aged cheese. To some, the odor of strong cheese or the thought of drinking decades-old wine might be off-putting and prevent them from trying it. But for others, it’s a delightful treat.

Additionally, you won’t find this particular skin for sale in the store. The cost of 1820 RP doesn’t work conventionally here. Instead, your only option is to obtain it through League of Legends’ loot system and hope for the best, as luck plays a significant role. Let me clarify that this skin isn’t good by today’s standards, but its terrible and outdated design takes you back to the early days of League of Legends in a charmingly nostalgic way.

As a gamer, when I come across someone sporting this in-game skin, let me tell you, they’ve gone out of their way to make themselves look as unimpressive as humanly (or should I say, digitally) possible. They’re not just a player, they’re an artist who appreciates the subtleties of bad design and have mastered the art of understatement.

7. Winterblessed Senna – 1820 RP

As a gamer, I’ve got to say, this cosmetic might not scream “Christmas” at first glance, but let me tell you, it shines when it comes to visual effects in League of Legends. In action, it looks absolutely stunning, and that’s no exaggeration. The blend of its custom VFX and animations really brings out the winter vibe you crave.

The entire Winterblessed line is a great choice for Christmas, with pretty much every skin fitting the theme. This isn’t the only skin from that line of cosmetics you’ll see on this list, but Senna’s skin stands above most of the rest. Her dance emote even gives her a ballet dance that brings back memories of iconic musical performances like The Nutcracker.

Though it might not have overt Christmas elements, this stunning skin has a festive atmosphere that will surely put you in the holiday spirit.

6. Snowmerdinger – 975 RP

From all the options presented, Snowmerdinger is unique as he allows you to transform into a real snowman complete with a carrot for a nose. However, due to his compact size, he appears as an inverted snowman with short limbs and an oversized head.

He’s also carrying candy canes and is overseen by a squad of miniature snowmen operating his cannons, forming a small yet potent army of mischievous snow figures ready to cause trouble in the lane.

From a graphic standpoint, this skin in League of Legends might not be the sturdiest. However, its concepts are remarkably strong and entertainingly appealing, making it an ideal choice for a fresh appearance on Heimer during the season.

5. Bad Santa Veigar – 975 RP

Ever dreamed about overpowering actual deities, all the while clad in a wicked-looking miniature Santa suit and carrying a tiny candy cane staff? If not, then you’re missing out on something truly fantastic!

Veigar’s quirky nature as a character is accentuated by his unusual and outdated appearance, but transforming him into a demonic Santa Claus amplifies the humor even further. This skin also changes his cage into Christmas trees adorned with twinkling lights, making it an ideal finishing touch.

If you’re feeling a little devilish this Christmas, Bad Santa Veigar is the skin for you.

4. Re-Gifted Amumu – 520 RP

Reframing Amumu’s persona as an unwanted present carries a surprisingly apt connotation for his character. Interestingly, this skin is steeped in lore that has been passed down through generations within his family, with no one daring to open it for several centuries. Wow, that’s quite the burden. Indeed, that must have been tough.

If I were poor Amumu, I’d be shedding tears too. This skin might not alter the core champion significantly or its visual effects, but it lets you embody a strolling, chattering gift box. You won’t find anything more Christmassy than that!

3. Snow Day Ziggs – 975 RP

This skin transforms Ziggs’ bombs into snowballs that you can throw at your adversary. Essentially, it turns the game into a real-life snowball fight when playing as this character. If more explanation is required to convince you of its appeal, then perhaps this isn’t the perfect choice for you.

Not only does it transform his explosive device into a cute, irate snowman figure, but isn’t that amazing? Absolutely, this skin is perfect for the current season! It’s tough not to be smitten by it.

2. Snow Day Bard – 1350 RP

In the realm of unique methods for enhancing abilities within League of Legends, Bard’s capacity to prepare warm hot chocolate to restore them is exceptionally appealing. It’s the act of warming up teammates with steaming Swiss Miss that gives me a sense of fulfillment as a supportive player (despite my occasional shortcomings).

Furthermore, numerous of Bard’s skills are swapped out for adorable penguins, even his chimes that accompany him everywhere. If the idea of having little penguins following you around and headbutting opponents appeals to you, this skin is perfect for you. And honestly, who wouldn’t want that?

This Bard skin is hard to beat for a Christmas-themed option; it perfectly embodies the spirit of the holiday season. It’s an excellent choice, and even if you don’t usually play Bard, this skin makes him quite appealing to try out. However, there is one other skin that surpasses it.

1. Winterblessed Diana – 1820 RP

Winterblessed Diana isn’t merely the top skin on this list; it’s among the finest skins ever introduced to League of Legends. It truly is exceptional, boasting an array of distinctive animations and special effects typically reserved for the costlier Ultimate skins.

In every action, Diana employs moves that have an enchanting, aurora-like quality, adorned with snowflakes and shards of ice. What makes this skin particularly intriguing is its ability to modify her appearance based on the number of enemies struck by her ultimate. This transformation persists until she is defeated, causing a shift in the color of her cloak, the design of her weapon, adding armor, and bestowing a crown upon her.

Furthermore, upon achieving a pentakill, she triggers an arctic storm across the entire map, accompanied by an aurora display above the kill site for several seconds. This is not a common occurrence, but it certainly sets this skin apart when such a rare achievement is made. It’s challenging to imagine another skin taking the top spot with this unique feature.
