What is the story about?
Fortnite has launched its Winterfest event with the return of the winter cabin advent calendar. The feature went live this week inside the game. Players
can open one gift each day inside a snow-covered cabin. Epic Games runs this event every winter to give free cosmetic items during the holiday season. The Winterfest cabin refreshes once every day at 9 am ET. Each opened present unlocks a reward. Players must wait and open gifts in order to collect everything by the end of the event.
What Is Fortnite Winterfest cabin?
The Winterfest cabin is a holiday-themed room filled with wrapped presents. Each present contains one free cosmetic item. Players can choose which gift to open each day, but some items remain locked until several other gifts are claimed.
The cabin stays open throughout the Winterfest period. All rewards become available by the end if players keep opening gifts daily.
What Rewards Are Available This Year?
Leaks revealed the full list of Winterfest gifts early. The rewards include skins, pickaxes, emotes, back blings, a glider, music, and a wrap.
The full list includes Glacial Dummy and Cheeks skins, multiple pickaxes like Festive Bat and Wrapped Axe, emotes such as Fire-Born and Warm & Peely, a Snowman weapon wrap, and Battlewood lobby music.
The two skins are inside the large gift boxes on the left side of the cabin. These boxes stand out because of their size. Smaller boxes contain items like emotes, pickaxes, and back blings.
The large box on the right only contains a wrap. Many players said the size does not match the reward inside.
There are no Harry Potter-themed items in the Winterfest presents. This stands out because Fortnite is running a major Harry Potter collaboration during the same period.
Players can open one present per day. Collecting every reward takes time, but all items become available before the event ends.
The Winterfest cabin resets daily at 9 am ET. Missing a day slows progress, but the full collection remains achievable before the cabin closes.
