Unwrap the Magic of Winterfest in Fortnite

What Time does Winterfest 2024 begin?

Although Epic Games has not disclosed the exact start time of Winterfest, they have revealed the start and end dates. The event will kick off on Friday, December 20th, and continue until Tuesday, January 7th. This spans a total of 19 days, promising around 19 presents to unwrap. Reportedly, the event commences at 6 am PT on Friday morning and 9 am ET.

It's an exciting time as Fortnite enthusiasts eagerly await the start of this winter wonderland event and the chance to collect their festive gifts.

What Will Be In The Presents This Year?

This year, a variety of sprays, music tracks, and other cosmetics await in the presents. The most thrilling free gifts are the two skins - a festive Christmas Snoop Dogg skin and the Yulejacket skin. It seems a Christmas Tree Guff skin will also be available, possibly as another free Winterfest skin, although it might end up in the Shop instead.

The presents are sure to bring a touch of holiday cheer to Fortnite players, adding to the excitement of the event.

New Item Shop Skins

A bunch of other skins and cosmetics are expected to make an appearance in the Item Shop during the Winterfest event. This includes some older Winterfest offerings, such as the Santa Shaq skin and the Mariah Carey skin. Players can look forward to adding these unique skins to their Fortnite collections.

The Item Shop during Winterfest is always a treat for fans, offering a chance to acquire rare and stylish cosmetics.

What To Expect

One of the biggest new features of Winterfest is ice-skating. Instead of actual skates, players will have equippable ice blocks on their feet. While it may be a bit of a disappointment compared to traditional skates, it still adds a fun element to the event. Alongside this, special game modes usually come alive during Winterfest, although it's unclear what they will be this year. Special Winterfest challenges are also a staple of the event, providing players with fun new quests to complete as they embrace the holiday spirit.

Holiday-themed weapons like Holiday Presents, Sneaky Snowmando, Snowball Launcher, Snowy Flopper, and Icy Grappler will also make an appearance. There may even be other new items on top of the ice-block-skates, adding to the variety and excitement.

Winterfest in Fortnite is always a memorable experience, filled with surprises and holiday fun.
