The 2022 World Cup has taken over FIFA 23 recently with World Cup Phenoms and Path to Glory cards galore, leaving little time for the traditional FUTmas celebrations.

However, there are still some seasonal surprises in store, with Winter Wildcards returning from FIFA 22 for reward boosts perfectly suited to the time of giving.

You'll once again be chasing those all-important tokens by completing a variety of challenges, and then exchanging them for gifts including the likes of Kieran Trippier - here's how it all works.

What are FIFA 23 Winter Wildcards?

The FIFA 23 Winter Wildcards promotion works much the same way as the World Cup Swaps, which saw you earn tokens upon completing certain objectives which can then be spent on rewards.

Up to 25 Winter Wildcard Swaps tokens will be available in FIFA 23 until the end of the promotion and can be earned through select objectives in First Owner Fiesta, Silver Stars and some Winter Wildcard Objectives, as well as Puzzle Challenge SBCs and Marquee Matchups.

You may even find a few extra tokens in the Store over the holidays...

Tokens can then be redeemed for Packs, Player Picks or two teams of Winter Wildcards Items which will receive permanent boosts - see below for the full list.
