An update to Team Fortress 2 has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart Team Fortress 2. The major changes include:
Happy Smissmas 2016!
All players who play TF2 during the event will receive a Stuffed Stocking as a gift! Stockings contain goodies for good little Mercenaries.
Added the limited-time key-less Winter 2016 Cosmetic Case to the Mann Co. Store
Contains 17 new community-contributed items
The Festivizer can be found as a bonus drop when opening the case
Added 3 new taunts to the Mann Co. Store
The Scotsmann's Stagger (community-contributed)
The Didgeridrongo (community-contributed)
The Table Tantrum (Valve)
New weapons for the Festivizer!
Fire Axe, The Jag, The Kritzkrieg, Pistol, The Quick-Fix, Natascha, The Sandman, The Spy-cicle, Kukri, Shovel and The Scottish Resistance
Mann Co. Store winter sale!
Look for 20%-75% off selected unlocked cosmetic crates, taunts, and tools in the Mann Co. Store through January 11th, 2017
Matchmaking Improvements
At the end of a Casual match, players are automatically formed into a new match with the same players and teams
Players get to vote on which map the new match will take place on
There are 3 maps to vote on, chosen based on the maps everyone in the match had selected when they began searching for a match. The current map is always the first option.
This replaces the Rematch system
Players can now set their maximum acceptable ping by clicking the new gear icon in the top right of the Casual and Competitive matchmaking lobby screens and choosing "Ping Settings"
New autobalance system to help with balancing teams when players leave a match. The system will ask players to volunteer to switch teams.
Automatically enabled for all Casual match servers
Players who switch will be able to earn bonus XP as a reward
Community servers can enable this new feature by using "mp_autoteambalance 2"
General
Fixed security issue reported by Justin G. (sigsegv) and Linus S. (PistonMiner)
Fixed not clearing the teleport condition for players who have their teleport interrupted before the teleport is complete
Fixed PASS Time exploit related to bonus points
Updated mat_monitorgamma so it can be adjusted in Competitive mode
Fixed the ShouldPreserveSquad flag not being parsed correctly in Mann vs. Machine mode
Fixed a bug related to bot Engineers and teleporters in Mann vs. Machine mode
Fixed not being able to transfer Strange stats between versions of Jarate and the Sapper
Fixed incorrect particle position for Unusual taunt effects when using the Racho Relaxo

Added a light to illuminate roof-snipers better
