What Is Fortnite Winterfest 2024?

Fortnite Winterfest is an annual holiday-themed event where players can enjoy festive activities and unlock free items simply by logging in and opening presents in the virtual cabin. Think of it as Fortnite’s version of an advent calendar but with much cooler rewards literally and figuratively. From December 20 onward, players can visit the in-game cabin, interact with its cozy elements (like the fireplace), and unwrap one present per day.

This year, Winterfest 2024 features an exciting roster of rewards, including exclusive holiday skins, emotes, pickaxes, and more. Epic Games has made sure there’s something for everyone, so whether you’re a hardcore collector or a casual player, there’s no better time to jump in.
