Fact Checked by 
Fortnite’s annual seasonal event Winterfest will soon be back for 2024, and, after a rather flat 2023 which, let’s face it, was pretty poor compared to earlier events, it looks as though Epic Games is trying to make this year’s Winterfest one to remember.
So when is it, how long is it, what can you nab and, oh yes? That cabin? Really? Let’s find out.
When is Winterfest 2024?
We now have confirmed dates for Winterfest 2024 and as we speak all the goodness is being uploaded to the servers in the latest Fortnite update before it goes live.
Winterfest 2024 is scheduled to run from 20th December until 7th January which should give you a nice run of time to get all your quests completed.
All we have had officially from Epic Games so far is a few seconds of a roaring festive log fire (more of which is minute) with the dates at the top. No launch times at the mo but they will probably be announced soon as the whole shebang kicks off in just a couple of days anyway.
Get ready to cozy up 🔥

What’s included in Winterfest 2024?
Some of things that have been outed so far are listed below.
- Crashed Chiller Spray
- Choose Naughty Spray
- De-Rezz Tally Back Bling
- Llama Lightbulb Spray
- Run It Up Jam Track
We are also expecting festive sklns both free and paid (Merry Snoop Dogg anyone?) and ice skates, don’t forget the ice skates.
Update: Check out our page on all the leaked characters and emotes, including Master Chief and Mariah Carey and when they will become available in the Item Shop.
Winterfest 2024 map changes
Nothing has been said about the map yet, but, well assume snow everywhere and do the ice skates mean we can skates across any water? Or will there be a specific ice rink to gather at Central Park style?
Winterfest 2024 cabin
After a needless absence in 2024, the Cozy Cabin is back and this staple of Fortnite’s Winter events is a welcome return. So far, all we know is that the cabin is back and, we assume, will serve the same role as previously, as a hub to tie the whole Winterfest event together.
Only two more sleeps until we find out (at the time of writing of course!)
