What is the Rocket League Winter Breakaway?

Hockey anyone?

Winter Breakaway is a Limited-Time Mode in Rocket League featured in the Frosty Fest event. During the Frosty Fest, players can play the Winter Breakaway mode, which replaces the ball with a hockey puck, much like the Snow Day mode. Winter Breakaway also takes place exclusively on a snowy version of Throwback Stadium, the map has hockey-like goals with space behind them.

Players can also earn Golden Gifts for playing 20 matches in any online game mode, including Winter Breakaway. Players can complete the challenge five times during the event, so playing 100 matches will earn you all the Golden Gifts. The Golden Gifts contents are listed as a rare item reward but may contain special holiday cosmetics.

The Winter Breakaway mode with a puck is challenging enough to score, but coupled with the difficult goals on the Throwback Stadium map, scoring is a great feat. Playing with the puck can produce some very fun and entertaining goals and gameplay with some practice.
