The time is nearly here for Frosty Fest 2021, this year's Rocket League Christmas event, to arrive in the game and get our festive gaming season started.

It's been a big year for Rocket League, with developer Psyonix Rocket League Items and publisher Epic Games recently launching their Rocket League Sideswipe mobile game spinoff and including some crossover content in Rocket League Sideswipe Season 1.

If you were wondering, there hasn't been an announcement for a Rocket League Sideswipe version of Frosty Fest, but we wouldn't be surprised to see some festive content cropping up in that game as well.

On the other hand, in terms of the main version of Rocket League, we have loads of information on its Frosty Fest 2021 Christmas event, so you can keep on reading to learn all about it.

When is the Frosty Fest 2021 Rocket League Christmas event start date?

Frosty Fest 2021 will begin in Rocket League on Thursday 16th December, the developers from Psyonix have confirmed in an official blog post. From that day onward, you'll be able to enjoy all of the festive content the game has to offer.

What time does the Frosty Fest 2021 Rocket League Christmas event start?

The Frosty Fest 2021 start time will occur at 9am PST on 16th December for Rocket League fans in America.

Here in the UK, that means that Frosty Fest 2021 will start at 5pm GMT on 16th December from a British time zone perspective. That's when the Christmas event in Rocket League will start on this side of the pond.

When does the Frosty Fest 2021 Rocket League Christmas event end?
It looks likely that the Frosty Fest 2021 Rocket League Christmas event will end on 3rd January 2022.
