We’re seeing Winter celebrations worldwide in thousands of games, with Marvel Rivals being among the latest with their Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival announcements. Jeff is one of the cutest characters to come out of Marvel Comics, and Rivals is fully aware of this.
If you’re among the folks who love Jeff and wish him happiness with everything he does, this festival gives you the chance to do so. It adds a new game mode with him as the main character and exclusive costumes to unlock. Let’s dive into the details of Marvel Rivals’ Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival.
What is Marvel Rivals Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival?
Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival is a festive, limited-time game mode that plays similar to games like Splatoon. You, playing as the titular character, Jeff the Landshark, run around a map and spray the ground with pink and blue substances. Whichever team covers the most surface area wins the match.
What’s the main difference, then? You can eliminate other Jeffs using your regular abilities, including your Q, to deter them from a particular spot or delay them so you can get a solid lead. There’s still strategy and skill involved, but it’s mostly just a bunch of Jeffs running around and spraying goop everywhere.
By participating in Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival, you have a chance to get your hands on multiple themed costumes with other featured characters, including Venom, Groot, Rocket and Magik. Of course, Jeff is also getting an exclusive Winter-themed skin, sporting a cute hat, glasses, and even a little scarf to complement his jacket.
When does Marvel Rivals Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival start?
Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival in Marvel Rivals starts on December 20, 2024, or December 19 if you’re in certain parts of North and South America. Here are some timezone breakdowns for the festival release time:
- LA, California, USA – December 19, 11 p.m. PST

Outside of this, those in other regions worldwide may have a slightly easier time, although it does release during working hours in most areas.
