FULL STORY

Fortnite Winterfest 2025 has finally been confirmed, and better yet, it's launching later this week. Epic Games just dropped a teaser for the upcoming Holiday event, showing Harry Potter Christmas stockings, a tree, and a
roaring fire.

Players are currently working their way through Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1, which shook up the map and many of the game's core systems. While we all wait for the next Season of Fortnite , there are the Winterfest 2025 celebrations
to tide us over well into the new year. With huge updates like these, it's no wonder that Fortnite continues to rank highly in our best crossplay games
list.

Here's the Fortnite Winterfest 2025 start date, and everything announced so
far for the upcoming event. So far, we know that there will be a Harry Potter tie-in and a return of the Holiday log fire loading scene.

Fortnite Winterfest 2025 will launch on December 16, 2025. This is according to the Tweet embedded (in the link below). This lines up with the last couple of years in terms of scheduling. Hopefully, players will have plenty of time
to work through the Holiday event, though at present we don't know how long it's all set to last.

What is Fortnite Winterfest 2025?

Fortnite Winterfest is an annual event themed around the Holiday season. For the past few years, there's been an interactive Advent calendar, where
players could open presents each day, containing festive-themed cosmetics. These have ranged from loading screens to harvesting tools and skins. Generally, these items can be claimed up to around January 10.

This year, Epic Games has only released a small teaser for Winterfest, though it does look to follow in the footsteps of last year's offering. There's a
cosy fireplace, a well-decorated tree, and some hints at possible collaborations.

Fortnite Winterfest Harry Potter

Epic Games has already confirmed a Harry Potter collaboration for later in December, but it's also highly likely that it'll tie in to Winterfest 2025.
In the teaser mentioned previously in this article, you can see four
stockings, with the four colorings of the main houses in Harry Potter. Looks like there will be some Harry Potter items to earn as part of Winterfest.
We'll have to wait and see.

There's also a Celebration of Hogwarts Bundle, which gives you all ten skins, as well as the Snowy Owl Back Bling, the Firebolt Pickaxe, and the Peppermint Imps Emote.

Will there be more Fortnite Winterfest skins?

New Fortnite Winterfest skins will arrive over time, and we already know that Hatsune Miku, and a Christmas Sabrina Carpenter skin will be released soon. Unfortunately, release dates for upcoming skins haven't yet been announced.
I'd expect new skins to line up with the weekly updates, so December 19 and then December 26.
