During this event, you get 2 times the normal rewards when completing bounties. Until January 5, you can get 2X RDO$ as well. Take as much advantage of this as you can since normally it can be difficult to get money and XP. Gather as many resources as you can during this event by completing missions and doing bounties.

Go to any Post Office between December 21 and January 5 to get information regarding invading bandits. They are invading various places such as Colter, Rhodes, Hanging Dog Ranch, and Emerald Ranch. On top of that, cougars, wolves, and bears are also roaming around the map and attacking people on sight.

Finally, a Christmas-themed locomotive is going between the stations at Rhodes and Emerald Ranch. You have to take out the bandits on the train to free it. If you successfully reach the last wave in any of the Call to Arms maps, you will get 50% off any weapon.

2X RDO$ on Trader and Moonshine Sales

Getting involved in one-on-one gunfights – friendly or otherwise – will result in you gaining extra bonuses. If you partake in Make It Count and Last Stand, you will get 3X RDO$, XP, and 2X Gold. This is the best time to get into gunfights with other players to earn a lot of money, XP, and gold. Since gold is a relatively rare resource, you should try to gather as much as you can.


Those were all the holiday rewards that you could get by playing Red Dead Online right now. Apart from the aforementioned rewards, there are tons of discounts as well.
