It's a miracle. It's an Australian Christmas bloody miracle!

— The Sniper beholding his Festivized Australium Sniper Rifle

”

The Festivizer is a tool item. It is represented by a coil of Christmas lights powered by a pair of Bonk batteries, a roll of masking tape, and a yellow staple gun.

The Festivizer allows the user to Festivize select weapons. Applying a Festivizer to an eligible weapon wraps it with a coil of flashing yellow, green, and team-colored Christmas lights, in a similar fashion to Festive weapons. A weapon retains its current quality when Festivized (e.g., a Strange Minigun would remain in Strange quality after the tool is used). However, when applied to Stock weapons, they are converted from Normal quality to Unique quality. Applying a Festivizer also adds the prefix "Festivized" to the front of a weapon's name, changes its backpack icon to reflect its new in-game appearance (wrapped with festive lights), and adds "Festivized" in purple text to the weapon's description.

Bugs

Applying a Specialized or Professional Killstreak Kit on a Festivized item causes the sheen to appear in the backpack icon.
If the Festivized item has the Decorated quality, and the player dies, the lights use the texture of the weapon, rather than using their own texture.
Occasionally, backpack icons for Festivized weapons are affected by certain console commands that affect lighting, such as mat_phong 0.
The item description is missing a period at the end.
