Fortnite fans, brace yourselves! Epic Games is set to revolutionize the Winterfest event this year with a brand new twist. Instead of the usual festivities, Winterfest 2024 will kick off with an electrifying in-game event on December 20—mark your calendars!

The action starts at 8 PM GMT, inviting players from all platforms—PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Android—to dive into the winter wonderland. Could we expect a stunning concert from the “Queen of Christmas” herself, Mariah Carey? While this remains to be officially confirmed, rumors are swirling about her potential appearance, making this an unmissable moment for fans.

Check out the return of the much-beloved Cabin, where players can unwrap a plethora of festive gifts. But that's not all! Winterfest is offering exciting opportunities to snag free items and rewards, including two limited-time skins—Santa Snoop Dogg and YuleJacket—both of which are sure to bring joy to your character’s wardrobe.

This year's event promises to keep the rewards flowing with additional goodies like festive guitars, sprays, backpacks, and even some catchy holiday tunes. Players will have the chance to unlock these rewards until January 7, thus providing a full two-week opportunity to cozy up in-game!

But wait—there’s even more! In a seasonal first, Winterfest will also introduce a unique feature: wearable ice cubes that function as ice skates, allowing players to glide across the snowy terrain. Imagine the gameplay possibilities!

As the holiday spirit takes over, fans can also look forward to a slew of new cosmetics available in the item shop during the event, featuring not only Mariah Carey and Santa Shaq skins but also festive footwear and classic bundles like Nightmare Before Christmas.

With the Battle Royale map transforming into a winter paradise blanketed in snow, Winterfest 2024 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting events in Fortnite history. Don’t miss out on the fun—dive into the frosty festivities and experience all the cool surprises that await!
