Then today I see a tweet about the 2.13 update and a new episode/pack for season pass holders.

The pack does look good. Alternative looking gadgets on a theme are always welcome.
The redressed Hokkaido map has a great feel. I took my time and had a wander but the only real changes are to the main patient areas and garden.
There is a zero tolerance policy for snowball fights:
The 7 new challenges on that map are easy enough. The main target has a short repeating path that's also easy to get to grips with.
The only real alteration to the target is which bathroom he get sick in; Outside the restaurant or downstairs in the restaurant(if/when the target is getting emetic poisoned). Even then those bathrooms are easy to pre-clear. The targets bodyguard is pointless as he is easily distracted or just walks away in certain situations. But as these are challenges you don't even need to finish the mission to have them completed. Each can be done independent of finishing/escaping the mission. Kill target in certain way, challenge unlocks, restart mission to get the next. This helps with easing the repetition but kills the immersion.
No style points but here are some of my Snow Festival shenanigans, all very spontaneous.
Standard takedown - Blood in the Snow challenge.
Fugu Poisoning (just for fun)
Cold Surprise challenge
Festival Shock challenge
N-Icicle Assassin challenge
Cols from Above challenge
In Your Face challenge
