The Australian Christmas was a major content update for Team Fortress 2, released on December 17, 2010.

A new game mode, Medieval Mode, was introduced, featuring the new map Degroot Keep.

The update increased backpack slots from 200 to 300, with the possibility of buying additional slots, 100 at a time, with the Backpack Expander. The maximum backpack size became 1000 slots.

During the event, the Festive Winter Crate became unlockable with a Festive Winter Crate Key that is only available as a purchase from the Mann Co. Store for US$2.49.

The official Valve page for the event may be viewed here.
