The holiday celebrations for Fortnite are beginning earlier than ever this year. Epic Games has initiated testing for its annual Winterfest event in version 39.10, confirming that the snowy celebration will kick off in less than two months. According to data miners like HYPEX , the early rollout signals that Epic has ambitious plans for Winterfest 2025.
Winterfest has come to define Fortnite’s holiday season, combining limited-time modes, map transformations, decorative themes and, most importantly, coveted holiday skins. Past years raised the bar high, with players calling Winterfest 2024 “truly something special.”
Netizens took to Reddit to express their views on the Winterfest. Top comments include:

Theories and leaks are flowing freely: might we see a Mariah Carey skin breaking free from an ice block, or are we heading toward a metallic-themed event hinting at Metal Gear Solid wave 2? Players are even discussing whether the event’s countdown will appear in the lobby, small but meaningful details that reflect how deeply invested the community is in Winterfest each year.
Naturally, Epic Games expect a strong holiday push with Winterfest. The timing is strategic: the recent success of Fortnitemares has set high expectations, and Epic seems determined to deliver an even more expansive seasonal experience. We can also expect new, bigger map changes, fun mechanics, and more ambitious crossover content than ever before.
