christmas in gta 6 online, snow or no snow?

So GTA 6 drops November 19, and Christmas is like a month later. If Online launches before then, what's Rockstar gonna do for the holidays? GTA 5 Online always went all out with snow, Christmas trees, ugly sweaters, the whole thing. But this time we're in Leonida, which is basically Florida. Snow in Vice City? That'd be weird.

I know GTA 5 was based on LA and they still dumped snow on it every December, so Rockstar clearly doesn't care about realism for seasonal events. But they might be going for a more grounded vibe this time. The trailers have that sweaty, humid, neon-soaked look. Snow would kind of kill that.

Story mode probably won't get any seasonal changes, at least not at launch. They never did that for GTA 5 single player either. So this is all about Online. I could see them doing a tropical Christmas instead. Palm trees with lights, Santa hats on the NPCs, maybe a beach party event. Or they could just do snow anyway because it's funny and people expect it. I remember the first time it snowed in GTA Online, everyone lost their minds. It was a mess but also kind of great.

Honestly I'd be fine with no snow. Give me Christmas lights on palm trees and a heat wave event where everyone's in shorts. That feels more Vice City. But knowing Rockstar, they'll probably do both. Snow on the beach, why not.
