Call of Duty Naughty and Nice Event Guide (Black Ops 7 & Warzone) — Challenges, Rewards, and Fastest Unlock Tips

The Call of Duty Naughty and Nice Event is a limited-time CODMAS holiday grind in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone, built around two parallel challenge tracks: Naughty and Nice. Each track contains gated rewards you “unwrap” by completing mode-specific challenges in Campaign/Endgame, Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone. The big reason players are logging in daily: the mastery unlocks — the SOKOL 545 LMG (Naughty) and the exclusive Snowfall Camo (Nice).

Call of Duty Naughty and Nice Event Overview

The Naughty and Nice Event is a temporary holiday event introduced alongside Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 1 and Warzone Season 1. Instead of a single reward path, the event splits rewards into two themed tracks: Naughty (aggressive, combat-forward objectives) and Nice (teamwork, support, and objective play).

The design is intentionally flexible: every reward tier includes four different challenges — one per major mode. You only need to complete one challenge to claim that tier’s reward. That means you can grind the entire event in your preferred mode (or mix modes to finish faster).

If you’re short on time, this is one of the easiest seasonal events to plan. It’s not communal and it doesn’t rely on global milestones. Progress is individual, predictable, and trackable — perfect for players who want guaranteed unlocks before the deadline.

Call of Duty Naughty and Nice Event Start Date & End Date

The event begins on December 16 at 10:00 AM PT in Black Ops 7 and Warzone. From that moment, both challenge tracks (Naughty and Nice) become available across supported modes.

The event ends on January 8 at 9:00 AM PT. After the end time, the event challenges and playlists are removed, and you can no longer earn progress toward the Naughty and Nice rewards.

How the Call of Duty Naughty and Nice Event Works

At its core, the Naughty and Nice Event is a challenge-based progression system with two separate tracks that can be completed in parallel. Each track contains multiple reward tiers. Every tier has four mode-specific challenges:

• Campaign / Endgame challenge
• Multiplayer challenge
• Zombies challenge
• Warzone challenge

Complete one of the four options to unlock that tier’s reward. When you finish the full set of rewards on a track, you unlock a Mastery Reward:

• Naughty Mastery Reward: SOKOL 545 LMG
• Nice Mastery Reward: Snowfall Camo (event-exclusive)

Every completed challenge grants bonus XP, making this event a strong way to level up weapons, prestige faster, and keep pace with BO7 Season 1 and the evolving Warzone meta.

Call of Duty Naughty and Nice Event Rewards Explained (Naughty vs. Nice)

All event rewards are separated into two categories:

The best part: you don’t have to switch modes. Because each reward only requires one completed challenge out of four, you can finish the full event in Multiplayer, Zombies, Warzone, or Campaign/Endgame — whichever is fastest (or most enjoyable) for you.

Call of Duty Naughty Challenges & Rewards (Full List)

The Naughty Challenges are designed for aggressive players who prefer eliminations, streaks, and high-impact plays. Each reward tier has four mode options, and you only need to complete one of them to claim the reward.

Call of Duty Nice Challenges & Rewards (Full List)

The Nice Challenges are optimized for players who prefer teamwork, objectives, revives, and supportive play. Like the Naughty track, every reward tier has four mode options, and you only need to complete one.

Naughty & Nice Event Tips for Faster Completion (Best Modes, Best Strategy)

If your goal is to unlock everything — including the SOKOL 545 and Snowfall Camo — without stretching the grind across every playlist, use a “single-mode sweep” strategy: pick the mode with the fastest loop for your playstyle, finish as many tiers as possible there, then only switch modes for the few objectives that would otherwise slow you down.

1) Multiplayer is the fastest all-around path

• Highest actions-per-minute (more kills, more score, faster streak usage).
• Holiday playlists (like Sleighjacked and Holiday Havoc) tend to compress objectives into shorter matches.
• Great for elimination-based tiers (200 eliminations, snowball kills, fire damage kills, objective kills).

2) Zombies is the best “high-density” farm

• Perfect for anything requiring 50–500 zombie eliminations because enemy density is consistent.
• Fast for fire damage, freeze, and Present Box objectives in Holiday Modes.
• Squad play accelerates revives, door buys, and team-based steps.

For Zombies tiers, build a loadout that can apply your required damage type (fire/freeze) without slowing your clear speed. Your goal isn’t “perfect rounds” — it’s completion efficiency. If you’re chasing Essence totals, focus on consistent kills, objective interactions, and staying alive.

3) Warzone Holiday Rush is the most volatile — plan smart

• Warzone requirements often depend on match flow (clean kill runs, revives, buybacks, present purchases).
• Queue with a squad if you can — revives, utility deployments, and buybacks become far easier.
• If a match starts badly, reset early. Time efficiency beats “hero games.”

If you’re working on Warzone objectives, treat every match like a checklist: land near Buy Stations, prioritize cash generation, and plan your purchases so you can chain progress in a single run (presents, killstreak buys, utility boxes, squad support).

4) The “one-mode-first” completion blueprint

1. Start in Multiplayer to knock out eliminations, score, streak call-ins, snowball kills, and objective kills quickly.
2. Switch to Zombies for any remaining fire/freeze/present box/essence requirements.
3. Finish in Warzone only if you still need presents, buybacks, Advanced UAV purchases, or Holiday Rush eliminations.

Warzone Meta Context (BO7 Season 1): Why This Event Helps Your Progress

In Warzone Season 1, the meta is shaped by a few repeatable truths: faster rotations beat late panic rotates, clean tracking wins most mid-range fights, and winning endgames depends on controlling information (UAV chains) and squad structure. The Naughty & Nice Event rewards align with that reality.

Even if you’re not “grinding ranked,” the event forces you to practice the exact behaviors that raise your long-term K/D and win rate:

• Objective urgency (presents, buys, utility deployments, revives)
• Loadout discipline (planning for fire/freeze requirements instead of improvising mid-match)
• Streak timing (UAV/CUAV usage for information control)
• Squad fundamentals (revives, buybacks, role clarity)

In other words, this isn’t just a holiday checklist — it’s a fast track to better Season 1 performance. Finish the event, and you’ll likely be stronger in regular playlists and competitive queues.

Call of Duty Naughty and Nice Event FAQ

Can I complete both Naughty and Nice challenges at the same time?

Yes. Both tracks run simultaneously, and progress on one does not block the other. You can freely work on Naughty tiers and Nice tiers during the same event period.

Do I need to play every mode to finish the Naughty and Nice Event?

No. Each reward tier offers four mode-specific challenges, and you only need to complete one of them per tier. Many players finish most rewards in Multiplayer or Zombies.

Are Naughty and Nice Event rewards permanent?

Event mastery items and cosmetics are typically time-limited. In many cases, the weapon can become available later through other systems, while cosmetics remain exclusive to the event window.

Do challenges track across matches?

Most challenges are cumulative and track across matches. However, some Warzone objectives may require specific “in-one-match” performance. Always check the in-game tracker for the exact wording.

Is the Naughty and Nice Event solo-friendly?

Yes. You can complete the event solo. That said, squad play speeds up revives, buybacks, and support-focused objectives — especially for Nice challenges in Warzone and Zombies.

Does the Naughty and Nice Event grant bonus XP?

Yes. Completing challenges typically grants bonus XP, making this event a strong progression boost for BO7 Season 1 and your broader Warzone leveling goals.
