Ultimate Fortnite Winterfest Guide

Like every year, Fortnite has brought back its Winterfest Event. With tons of freebies, skins, and even live events, you must be on the lookout for many things. With a newly revamped map, there are quite a few NPCs with quests, in-game rewards, and free XP, so knowing your way around this event is a must. So, to help you with that, we've compiled the Fortnite Winterfest guide with all presents, map locations, NPCs, Winterfest cabin, and more.

Complete Fortnite Winterfest Gifts List - Presents For Each Day

Unlike previous Winterfest presents, this time, all presents are located inside the Winterfest Cabin, spread into two piles. There's a pile of gifts on the left and another on the right, beside the couch. Each of these presents contains a gift, and you'll be able to open one every day, like an advent calendar. Here are all the rewards that you can get from opening each present in Fortnite Winterfest:

How Long Will the Fortnite Winterfest Event Last?

The Fortnite Winterfest event will last 18 days, from December 20, 2024, to January 7, 2025, and opening all the gifts will take 14 days to complete. If you forget to log in for more than four days during this event, you won't be able to get all the presents.

How To Access Winterfest Cabin In Fortnite

Now that you know what freebies you can find from opening presents, you should also know how to access the Winterfest Cabin in Fortnite. Here are the steps to access this cabin and open presents:

1. First, log in to Fortnite and look for the Snowflake icon on the far right of the main menu.
2. Click on the Snowflake to open the Winterfest Cabin.
3. Click on either the left or the right pile of presents.
4. Select the present of your choice, and open it.

All Fortnite Winterfest Event Locations (POI)

Apart from opening presents, there are quite a few in-game events that you should be on the lookout for. These include the Mariah Carey live event, multiple Winterfest NPCs, and more. Here are all the Winterfest events available on the map and how to get them.

Mariah Carey Live Event, Location, & Reward (Map)

The Mariah Carey live event is the main attraction of Fortnite's Winterfest. The huge ice cube that is located in the center of the map will slowly melt away to reveal Mariah Carey, culminating in a server-wide live event. Since this is a live event, you must be in a game when it drops and complete the limited-time quest at that location to get the reward.

• Location: Center of the Map, Near Brutal Boxcars
• Rewards: All I Want For Christmas Is You (Icon) Emote

Giant Turtle Event, Location, & Reward

Apart from the live event, there is also a Giant Turtle that has appeared on the map. Even though there's no fixed location on the map, the Turtle can be found on one of the ponds or lakes throughout the map.

• Location: Randomly spawns at one of seven spots on the map (Can be spotted from Bus)
• Rewards: +1 Level Reward for Discovering, +1000 XP for completing Ryuji Quest (Repeatable)

Doughberman NPC Event, Location, & Reward

Also, the Doughberman NPC has appeared on the map, and you'll need to find and protect him from attackers to gain in-game perks. After eliminating six Demon Grunts that attack Doughberman, you can claim the reward by interacting with the NPC.

• Location: Near Twinkle Terrace
• Rewards: 1,750 XP, Option to buy Chug Splash x2 for Gold
