The Santa Hat Skin is a cosmetic skin item that applies a festive Santa hat appearance to compatible headgear. Like all skins, it does not replace the underlying armor, it only changes how it looks. Equip it in the same slot as your current head armor to toggle the visual effect on or off.
Because skins are cosmetic only, they persist through server transfers and do not affect stats or functionality. Spawn it with the GFI code if you want to hand it out during seasonal events or as a server reward.
