Zarya – Snowboarder
Zarya can deploy powerful personal barriers that can convert any incoming damage into energy for her particle cannon. She can be decked out in her new snowboarder legendary skin.

Mercy – Sugar Plum Fairy
Mercy’s new Sugar Plum Fairy suit is my personal favorite. Yes, her new suit isn’t really adding any abilities, but she does look good.
Straight from Sweetzerland.

Lucio – Arctic Fox
Lucio’s new skin is a massive overhaul in my opinion. Of course, he’ll retain all his abilities, but this hero will be fun to wreak havoc with.
Level up your sleet skills.

Symmetra – Figure Skater
Symmetra’s skin looks like the one to grab during the event. However, you might need a lot of coins, as this Legendary skin is expected to cost 3,000.
Put your enemies on ice.
