The Kobe 9 Elite "Christmas" release date is December 26th, the day after Christmas.
The model is the most expensive of the 2014 Nike Basketball "Christmas Pack" releases and is also the most traditionally colored of the set. The holiday aesthetic of the model is upped by the patch on the inside of the tongue, which brings "Mamba's Greetings" in the form of a candy cane colored snake. This is also one of the rare chances to catch the camo outsole on the Kobe 9 Elite, as the shoe hasn't yet been introduced to NIKEiD where that choice has been a mainstay.
