The Fortnite Winterfest event makes a return to the battle royale for the 2022 holiday season, so get ready for lots of festive fun between December 13, 2022 and January 3, 2023. As you'd expect at this time of year, there are lots of gifts to unwrap and rewards to unlock, so you can add some special winter-themed items to your locker in Fortnite. Watch out for Sgt. Winter this year, as he's moved away from the comforts of the log fire in the Lodge to head out on the highway in his special big rig, handing out Holiday Presents to players – just don't attack and get on his naughty list, or you'll be in trouble! If you want to know how this year's celebrations are shaping up, then here's all the information on the Fortnite Winterfest 2022.
The Fortnite Winterfest Lodge is back
The Winterfest Lodge, aka the Fortnite Cozy Lodge, is opening its doors for another year of festive celebrations. You can access this hub by highlighting the snowflake in the main menu, and there are daily presents to be opened when you get inside. Don't stress too much if you aren't able to visit for a few days, as your presents will be waiting for you to unwrap when you return, and you can do this any time up to January 3, 2023. Don't forget to interact with the other items to see what they do, and spend some time sat in front of the burning Yule Log to collect random XP bonuses.
