You have arrived at the right place if you were wondering how to earn Cheer Score for Holiday Havoc in Black Ops 7.
Earning Holiday Cheer Score is a Naughty and Nice event challenge that you have to complete in the Holiday Havoc playlist in BO7. It brings a festive 6v6 moshpit mode mixing Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination, and Hardpoint, plus Hardcore variants across standard maps decked out in holiday themes.
Earning Holiday Cheer Score requires some specific actions that stack up without resetting, and once done, you unlock a reward from the Nice path of the event. Here’s how you can earn Holiday Havoc Cheer Score in BO7 Multiplayer.
How to earn Holiday Cheer Score in BO7

You can earn Holiday Cheer Score by playing the objectives, revealing enemies, impairing foes, and capturing points for your team. The challenge is to earn 2,500 Holiday Cheer Score, and if you play it right, it’s pretty easy to get it.
Run a low Scorestreak setup to chain it early: UAV at 400, Counter-UAV at 600, HARP or Sentry at 800. Each reveal gives you 25 Cheer. Pair with Looper perk to keep streaks flowing, and Overkill for a reliable primary or secondary.
Also, try to get back-to-back kills to grab bonuses like Quick Regen, Spring Speed, or Movement Speed, as these stack and feed Cheer passively.
Try to collect as many Scoresteaks as possible, and open the Christmas-themed care packages that drop randomly from the sky during matches for extra points. It’s quite possible to speedrun the 2,500 score in under an hour if you play aggressively.

Call UAV every life, push objectives for assists, contest every Scorestreak drop, and don’t let enemies steal them. A solid match can net you 300 to 500 Cheer if you’re popping off. Play five to seven games to seal it. You can also squad up with your friends for calling streaks.
Once you get to 2,500 Score, you unlock the Fire Light Calling Card that you can use in both BO7 and Warzone. With that being achieved, you get a step closer to ultimately unlocking the Sokol 545 LMG. Dealing fire damage is also one of the challenges in this event, so make sure you’re doing that as well.
Also, keep an eye on the next double XP weekend so that you can maximize it for faster progress in the weekly challenges. Now, before you head to play Holiday Havoc, make sure you have these settings sorted before for the best performance:
