The Forza Horizon 5 Secret Santa event is a yearly celebration. However, it is slightly different each time. This guide covers the Series 2 Secret Santa, the first-ever iteration of this event, which has since concluded.
The Forza Horizon 5 Secret Santa event is a yearly celebration to close out the year. Well, at least it is nowadays – it wasn't always this way. The first Forza Horizon 5 Secret Santa took place during FH5 Series 2, with two rewards up for grabs and the community tasked with getting into the Christmas spirit by sending gifts.
This Secret Santa event was the first Season-based event for Forza Horizon 5, taking place during the Christmas and Holiday weeks of 2021 from December 9, 2021, to January 6, 2022. This ran alongside the regular Seasonal challenges and championship events. In order to contribute to this event, however, you needed to send gifts to other players via the Forzathon Shop or the Gift Drop. These gifts could be cars, cosmetic rewards, outfits, and more.
Read on for a full overview of the Forza Horizon 5 Secret Santa event, including how to send those gifts to other players from the Gift Drop and Forzathon Shop. Just remember that this specific Secret Santa event has long since concluded. You'll have to wait until the next event appears to join in on the fun – though it will be different than the last.
