Holiday Hoarders is a bonus mission in HITMAN™. It is part of the December 2016 update (released December 13th) and has been partially created to support the World Cancer Research Fund. It takes place in a Christmas-themed version of The Showstopper. A time-limited event took place in December 2018 which brought back this mission and its Secret Santa challenge pack for HITMAN™ 2.

Holiday Hoarders[]
Happy Holidays, 47. Your destination is Paris, France, and I must confess, this one is a bit of an odd one. Your targets are Harry "Smokey" Bagnato and Marv "Slick" Gonif, a pair of professional thieves currently breaking into the Palais de Walewska. Bagnato and Gonif are both American nationals now living in Paris after a series of botched break-ins and related violent crimes forced them to leave their home country.
We've been hired by a world-wide insurance agency to put an end to the activities of these holiday hoarders, as their activities have proven to be quite costly to our client. You are to retire both thieves with extreme prejudice.
One last thing, 47. I've noticed internal security reports of a strange jingling sound in the palace. The source of these sounds is unknown but might be worth looking into. This is certainly no traditional contract, but I know you're up for the challenge. Best of luck, 47.
