The briefing
The December 18, 2014 update record covers Festive Surprise - Title Update 1.19 Patch Notes (Online 1.21). It places the release in GTA V and GTA Online’s ongoing platform and content history.
Seasonal events combine temporary rewards with themed vehicles, clothing, weapons or jobs. Availability and reward conditions are tied to the event dates, even when a similar celebration returns in a later year.
A returning item does not guarantee that an old price, login gift or challenge is repeated. Use the dated offer to understand this event and the game’s current promotion screen for a live purchase.
Named parts of the release include New Vehicles; Dinka Jester (Racecar); Dewbauchee Massacro (Racecar); Bravado Rat-Truck; Vapid Slamvan.
The reference tables retain the specific additions and values. Maintenance changes describe the build released at that time; later patches can revise behavior or supersede an earlier fix.
