The Festive Surprise is a content update for Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, released on December 18th, 2014 updating to version 1.19 on PS3 and Xbox 360 and Online to version 1.21 (Story mode to 1.05) on PS4 and Xbox One.

Description

The update features 4 vehicles including the Vapid Slamvan, a clean variant of the Rat-Loader called the Rat-Truck, a racing Massacro and a racing Jester. Over 90 new festive clothing options and 5 new themed masks are available. These are free, but available for a limited time. 30 new tattoos are available at all Tattoo Parlors. Themed clothing and masks from last year's Christmas special are also available again.

Special crate drops will also be dropping limited edition copies of the past events, such as the pizwasser beer hat as well as some new content. The Base 5 T-shirt can also be found in crates as the clothing brand makes a return from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
