Summoners, welcome to the special Let It Snow edition of the Summoner Showcase,
I’m Nikasaur, and if I’m correct, Valoran is celebrating the peaceful time of Snowdown.
Here at Riot, so are we and we have some special holiday treats for you so you can celebrate with us.
Do you have warm memories of the Winter map on Summoner’s Rift?
It’s back! Whether it’s new or nostalgic, you can play it to your heart’s content.
You can also load up on seasonal runes and check out a few of our new skins like a Snowman Heimerdinger!
LeBlanc dressed in mistletoe spirit, Toy Soldier Gangplank,
and the much-loved idea, festive Maokai.
In fact, here is our version of this Tannenbaum Treant,
but a few summoners had ideas of their own!
Check out He-st’s idea with saplings in santa hats!
Taking an entirely different approach, Briara thought that Maokai should throw ….elves, it seems,
and Sita Duncan’s version is a more traditional evergreen with pinecone saplings and a beard of his own.
Fantastic work, all of you, and I hope you enjoy the skin!
Snowdown is a time for wishing upon stars, and who better to do that than Soraka?
Akemiro creates a Winter Wish Soraka drawing, a pale and winged version of the Starchild we know.
It seems like she is the embodiment of winter itself,
like fairies you hear about in fantasy stories who bring the frost with them.
Soraka is not the only champion with wings this season,
Avrilly gives us a delicate monochrome drawing of Angelic Sona,
with the traditional harp and flowing gown.
In fact, it seems like such a natural look for Sona.
It’s amazing to think that all you need is a pencil to make beautiful , ornate art like this.
Sona provides the music, but Shaytalis gives us songs suitable for the league, and the season.
Shhh, listen!
The lyrics are spot on and performed beautifully,
now I just have to convince him to record the full songs!
Run run run, as fast as you can,
and you’ll still be caught by a yordle who throws candy canes at you.
DasBol mocked up an idea for Gingerbread Kennen,
complete with icing and candy accessories.
Discussion on the forums led to calling him “ninjabread” which, I mean, you know me and my puns.
Haul out the holly, deck the halls, or deck out your favorite champion with some festive flair.
Teganze shows us Leona in the holiday spirit,
and she might have gotten a little overzealous in decorating the house…
and used the house to decorate herself.
I just love that she’s carrying an entire door.
The theme this showcase is using Candy Canes As Weapons.
That’s all for this special, seasonal Showcase, thanks for sharing your holiday cheer with us!

All I want for Christmas a Like button. Maybe two!
Until next time,
Beware the candy cane arsenal,
Don’t chase Gingerbread Singed,
And we’ll see you next week!
