Here’s everything you need to know about the Fortnite 2024 Christmas Winterfest event including the start date.
Although we had a new chapter release a few weeks ago, players are always looking toward the next major Fortnite update.
In this week’s v33.11 update, Epic Games included all the files and assets for this year’s Fortnite Christmas event, Winterfest.
The event is usually well-received by the community. However, Epic decided to remove the Winterfest Cabin and daily presents last year, which led to many complaints in the community.
Thankfully, there’s official confirmation that the Winterfest Cabin will be making a return for this year’s Fortnite Christmas event.
Here’s everything else we know about Fortnite Winterfest 2024 including the start date.
When Will Fortnite Winterfest 2024 Start?
We have confirmation that the 2024 Fortnite Christmas Winterfest event will begin on Friday, 20th December 2024.
The event will run until January 7th, 2025. Here’s the tweet from popular data miner Hypex confirming the start date:
What to Expect During Fortnite Winterfest 2024
As with all the previous Christmas Fortnite events, players can expect to get free cosmetic rewards by completing challenges and this year, by opening a daily present in the cabin.
There will be two free Christmas-themed skins, something we’ve seen for the last few years of the event. Thankfully, popular data miner Hypex has leaked all the rewards.
The two free skins this year will be Snoop Dogg and Yulejacket, both of which can be seen below:
We’ll also see snow added to the map. It’s not known if the entire map will be covered in snow, but we do know a large section of the map will be. We’ve included the snow map below.
Players can expect new challenges/quests to complete along with the return of Winterfest-themed items that were available in previous years.
We’ll have the full lowdown of the Winterfest event tomorrow.
