Nintendo Switch Online has kicked off the holiday season with the release of a brand-new collection of limited-time user icons, spotlighting iconic franchises such as Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda.
This special wave of festive user icon designs became available to Nintendo Switch Online members recently, just ahead of the winter holidays, reinforcing Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to keeping its growing online community engaged with fresh content. These exclusive holiday-themed icons allow Nintendo Switch users to personalize their profiles with a variety of characters, creative backgrounds, and decorative frames.
In a notable shift from previous icon event offerings, this round draws on an extensive lineup of different series rather than focusing on a single franchise — with both Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda leading the selection. Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can redeem these limited-edition icons through the My Nintendo rewards program.
Each character icon can be claimed for 10 Platinum Points, while backgrounds and frames are available for 5 Platinum Points apiece.
Players can earn Platinum Points by completing various missions on their Nintendo accounts, ranging from using specific features on the Nintendo Switch console to participating in events and checking out Nintendo eShop promotions. A Nintendo spokesperson emphasized that this campaign continues the tradition set last year, when Nintendo introduced a similar set of exclusive holiday-themed icons for its online community.
This ongoing initiative is part of Nintendo’s broader strategy to add value to its subscription-based services on the Nintendo Switch platform, offering periodic bonuses that reward continued engagement from both long-term fans and new adopters. The current set of holiday icons is available for a limited time only, with members having until December 25 to claim their favorites.
Once this window closes, the icons will no longer be available through the My Nintendo rewards catalog, underscoring the rarity and exclusivity of these designs for collectors and dedicated fans alike. Nintendo Switch Online continues to expand, boasting a global user base that benefits from features such as classic game libraries, online multiplayer, and various digital rewards.
With the introduction of new user icon designs tied to major franchises and the festive season, Nintendo once again demonstrates its ability to connect with its community through thoughtful personalization options and seasonal content.
