In GTA 5 Online there is quite a lot happening this Christmas 2019. Snow, heists, cars, mini-tanks, gifts, and a lot of money are waiting for you. We will show you why Los Santos is so interesting now.
What’s new in GTA Online? In December, Rockstar Games brought some new content to the online world of Grand Theft Auto V. A significant part of it was the Casino Heist Update on December 12.
At Christmas, players also enjoy snow on the streets that invites them to drift with the new cars. The gifts that Rockstar Games gives to its players again should not be overlooked.
New Casino Heist is a lot of fun
What makes the heist so good? Rockstar promoted the new Casino Heist as the biggest robbery in the history of Los Santos. And they’re probably right. Just the preparation missions are varied and available in a large number.
Even in the heist itself, the tactic changes if the disguise is suddenly blown.
On our first attempt, I spent several hours with my squad preparing and playing the heist – and we had a lot of fun with the new gameplay features and the story. We only tried one of the three tactics.
My clear recommendation to you: Grab a few friends and get through the new Casino Heist. You should have enough time for it during Christmas.

Snow on the streets – Makes you feel like a kid
What’s so great about snow? Let’s start with a comparison:
- Snow in the real world
- Cold, slippery, nice atmosphere, bad for driving
- Snow in GTA Online
- Cold, slippery, nice atmosphere, PERFECT FOR DRIVING
Really. There’s nothing better than to take your souped-up supercars from the garage right into the slippery white. If you speed through the narrow alleys at far too high a speed, the oncoming traffic has to cooperate for you to make it through safely. And if not? Well, that doesn’t matter. Because unlike the real world, the damage to your GTA car doesn’t bother you much.
Everyone, and I emphasize this again, EVERYONE should play GTA Online once when there is snow on the streets. If you want to have real fun, you can also use the fastest cars in GTA Online and whip them through the narrow paths.
Gifts, gifts, gifts
This is also great: If the snow and the new casino heist haven’t convinced you yet, you will enjoy Rockstar’s gifts. Because let’s be honest: You can’t be angry about free ammo, armor, and fireworks, can you?
Also perfect if the haul under your real Christmas tree was relatively weak.
These gifts are provided to you by GTA Online in 2019:
- December 24: For logging in, you will receive a green reindeer light bodysuit, a firework launcher, 20 firecrackers, and more as a gift
- December 25: If you log in on this day, you will receive a remote-controlled mini-tank and more gifts for free
Rockstar did not want to reveal further gifts but mentioned that the package on December 25 should be even bigger than on December 24.
What else you can do: After you rocked the heist, drifted through the snow, and collected the gifts, there’s still a lot for you to do. In our money guide, we show you how to earn cash efficiently to buy expensive luxury cars. The good thing is: CEO buildings, MC clubs, nightclubs, and other foundations for making money are currently available at a 50% discount.
