What to expect from Fortnite Winterfest 2024
Fortnite gives a way lot of free rewards to its players during the holidays, and this year Winterfest returns to the cabin, which will hopefully be full of wrapped presents.
Every Winter Festival (except last year), to receive a reward, all you had to do was log in each day and select a gift in the hut. Last year you had to play a match to get your rewards, but now that the cabin is returning, there’s a good chance it will return to its previous state. As seen in an image posted by Shiina on Xgifts waiting to be opened.
Rumor has it that this year’s Winterfest “Winter research”, where you have to check whether people have been naughty or nice. Thanks to iFireMonkey on Xthere will be a ‘Wintervestigation’ mission chain where you work with Noir and investigate mysterious incidents across the map.
Each Winterfest features new and returning outfits, and there are a ton of new cosmetics this year, like Mariah Carey, Guffmas Tree, and Santa Shaq, to name a few. As these skins are added to the store, you can expect to see winter-themed skins return to the store as well. As for this year’s free skins, HYPEX on X has stated that they are Snoop Dogg and Yulejacket.

Winterfest usually unveils a few icy items, like Christmas presents and snowball throwers, but icy feet are also rumored to make their debut by HYPEX on X. Now that the Chapter 6 Season 1 map has gotten a Winterfest update, there will be more areas to skate around cool locations to explore.
Could Mariah Carey be frozen in a giant ice block? Fortnite? We’ll have to play and discover it during Winterfest 2024.
