Ho, ho, ho, gamers. CODMAS has arrived, and Santa’s Slayground is here to bring all sorts of rewards and challenges in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone.

A new slate of challenges during the limited-time event can be completed in any of MW3’s modes, including multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone, so no matter what you prefer to play, you can try to make sure you don’t get any coal in your stocking.

In total, there are eight rewards to be earned over the holidays in the two-week-long event, including a special ugly sweater-themed blueprint for the DG-58 LSW LMG. But there’s that and a whole lot more as part of CODMAS, which also includes a special Zombie Santa boss fight in a unique Warzone playlist.

Here are all of the Santa’s Slayground challenges and what you get for completing them during CODMAS in MW3 and Warzone.
