The Holiday Punch is a community-created melee weapon for the Heavy. It is a large pair of team-colored knitted mittens, featuring a decorative snowflake woven into the back.

This weapon has the ability to always deal critical hits when an enemy is hit from behind in an arc similar to that of the backstab. However, the critical hits deliver no damage. Instead, a critical hit will cause the enemy player to burst into laughter, leaving them temporarily defenseless. This effect also applies to normal hits given to players also wearing the Holiday Punch. Critical hits given by crit-boost items like the Kritzkrieg will deal normal critical hits instead of the laugh effect, unless from behind.

Taunting with the Holiday Punch equipped will perform the Showdown taunt.

The Holiday Punch was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name The Masculine Mittens.
