Fortnite Winterfest 2025: Claim Every Free Cabin Present — Skins, Gliders, Sprays and More
Fortnite has unwrapped Winterfest, packing the island with fresh features, buzzy crossovers, and a pile of free loot. Log in daily to crack open presents in the lodge—or blitz the whole stack at once—and snag limited-time rewards while they last.
Fortnite flipped on the snow machines. Winterfest 2025 is live, the cabin is back, and yes, there are free goodies piled under the virtual tree. You can pop in daily and crack open one present at a time, or hoard them and binge the whole stash at the end. Your call.
How it works (and how long you have)
The Winterfest Cabin refreshes with a new gift every day at 9:00 AM ET. The event window runs from December 18 at 9:00 AM ET through January 5 at 9:00 AM ET. Once it ends, anything you didn’t claim is gone.
If you want to aim for something specific, X user SpushFNBR mapped which gift box contains which item. Handy if you’re trying to snipe a particular skin or pickaxe.

Everything flips at 9:00 AM US Eastern. That’s 6:00 AM PT on the US West Coast, 8:00 AM CT, 7:00 AM MT, 5:00 AM in Alaska, and 4:00 AM in Hawaii. Across the pond it’s 2:00 PM in the UK (GMT) and 3:00 PM in Central Europe (CET). Brazil clocks in at 11:00 AM BRT. Further east: 7:30 PM in India (IST), 10:00 PM in China and the Philippines (CST/PHT), and 11:00 PM in Japan and Korea (JST/KST). Australia’s east coast hits 1:00 AM AEDT the next day, and New Zealand lands at 3:00 AM NZDT the next day.
The crossover pile is wild this year
Winterfest 2025 isn’t just about free cosmetics. Epic is also loading the store with new collabs, including drops tied to Bleach and Harry Potter. So, yes, you can roll into a match dressed like Ichigo or rocking a Hogwarts uniform, because of course you can.
On the rumor side, trusted leaker HypeX says Batman Beyond and Joker Beyond are in the pipeline for this window. And Epic’s getting festive with music stars too: expect winter-themed skins for Sabrina Carpenter and Hatsune Miku.
Gameplay isn’t being left out either. Holiday-special weapons are cycling in during matches, so the snowball fights won’t just be cosmetic.
Bottom line
Free skins and emotes in the cabin, a stack of pickaxes and extras, big-name crossovers in the shop, and some seasonal toys to use in-game. If you play Fortnite at all, log in, grab your gifts, and don’t let the clock run out. Fortnite is still Epic Games’ 2017 live-service juggernaut for a reason.
