Overview[1]
Festive Freight is an exclusive map introduced during the Christmas 2025 Event. It takes place on two active trains transporting coal and presents to the North Pole, which are assorted between "Naughty" and "Nice". Coal covers most of the "Naughty" side, preventing towers from being placed on it aside from a few wooden objects surfaced on top of the rubble. Snow, furniture, and gifts decorate most of the "Nice" side. The trains travel across multiple snow-covered areas, including a forest with houses sprinkled throughout, a bridge atop a body of water, and a cliffside lined with mountains, trees, and utility poles.

Tips
Keith can serve as an early-game defender with his low cost and high stat efficiency, benefitting greatly from the map's mainly straight paths and slow enemy pool (aside from Toy Robot variants). It is recommended to place directly next to a path as this allows Keith to hit the most enemies. Placing him in the middle won't let him take advantage of the straight paths. Nuki Launcher is able to summon on the "Naughty" side of the map, where most towers cannot be placed due to the coal. With enough patience and clever use of targeting, they are able to defend and chip down large amounts of health. Because of this map's limited placement space and Nuki Launcher's big footprint, it is recommended to place it far away from the cart leading to your base, preferably on the wood palette on the "Naughty" side or the next cart over on the "Nice" side. This is more relevant with the more players that are in the game. Likewise, Scientist, Fracture, and Quinn can take up too much space for other towers if there are more players in the game. Chef is a great melee-tower option for mode as his cost is better suited for the fewer waves compared to, and his high damage isn't affected as much by Avalanche's shield than other multi-hit or burst towers. It is recommended to place him by the area closest to your base where both paths meet as anywhere else has the potential for Chef to ignore some enemies. Byte is helpful for catching enemies that are summoned by the Wrapped Monster variants but cannot stop the Toy Robot variants for very long.
Patch history
This is the second map to have two active bosses at once, the first being Idol Encore. This map is responsible for the removal of Winged Reapers and Big Alien Grunts from the Big Wrapped Monster pool as players found them too annoying during its respective Special Quest. The skin was originally meant for Mako but was later changed to Hotdog Frank during development. Entering a game with the modifier enabled will cause the trains to travel much faster than usual. By entering Freecam (Shift + P), a few Easter eggs can be found by moving the camera into the presents. A durian can be spotted inside a white present with purple ribbons. This is a reference to Spiky Fruit, a reoccurring item in Pixel-bit games, which originated from Soul Stone Simulator. A pink durian can be spotted inside a white present with blue ribbons. This is a reference to Shiny Spiky Fruit, a more powerful variant of Spiky Fruit. A chocolate donut can be spotted inside a white present with red ribbons. A smiling face with pink and yellow eyes could have been spotted inside a red round present with white ribbons. This is a reference to FRIEND, otherwise DEVICE_FRIEND or IMAGE_FRIEND, a mysterious entity from the video game Deltarune, although this Easter egg has been removed from the game. After a lengthy amount of time, the map generation will begin to lag behind, causing the trains to travel above an abyss. Alistair appears on the back of Eggnog with a line of text saying "MISSING!".
