Whenever my tier 2 character tries to join a lockdown game, it seemingly will take place on Reactor. While kind of fun, it has no snowballs.
Is it too late to get that achievement? Is my tier too high? Have I just been unlucky?

It is not too late. All of the listed daily achievements can be completed all the way up to January 1st (With the exception, of course, of achievements that list a specific date as a requirement). You can even see a list of previous achievements (by the words "It's not too late!") in steam.
To clarify based on the other answer's comment thread, I can vouch that in the specific case of Son of a Nutcracker, the map is still in rotation as of this morning. If you haven't gotten it yet, keep trying!
Most of the in-game achievements exist independently of the Steam sale. So, it is still possible to get. Whether Steam still rewards you, I don't know.
I know I got that achievement late and several others early, so I would say you've just been unlucky so far.
