Rito, i started playing League at the beginning of season 2, and i vividly remember playing on the snow down map over the Christmas break in high school. Im in college now but for 2 years straight there has been no special map for the winter season. I know that Riot has been busy with the updates to the map in general, but if a snowy map is possible it would be the greatest gift riot could give.

Zyorhist1 votesRiot said a couple of years back that they are unable to reuse the old maps because of system issues that they have done over time. I'm sorry to say it but there is no chance they will bring it back despite how much you (or I) even want it.

Riyshn1 votesGameplay reasons, actually. The graphics/performance issues could be fixed by going into the sittings and clicking the map-specific "Disable Snow" option. The major problem with the map was particle visibility - white/blue and yellow particles, in particular. I seem to remember that Lux was released either while the old Winter Rift was active or shortly before, and it was nearly impossible to tell the difference between her AAs and Light Binding, if you were lucky enough to even be able to see them in the first place. Same with things like Anivia's ult.
Totally agree that I would love to have it back if that could be fixed, though. Loved that map.
