Fortnite Winterfest 2023 is a Christmas event that gives all players a round of gifts, some new mechanics to master for a few weeks, and changes the look of the game everyone loves for just long enough to make them feel festive. We’ve covered everything there is to know about.
Players love Fortnite Winterfest more than any other event because it’s positively packed with free cosmetics for them to pick up. Winterfest 2023 is no exception, with no less than 15 free gifts that were leaked ahead of the event’s start, and many more set to be released throughout its duration. There’s so much more to Fortnite Winterfest 2023 though, and we’ve explained everything that players need to know below.

When Does Fortnite Winterfest 2023 Start?
Fortnite Winterfest 2023 will start between December 10 and December 17, 2023. At the time of writing, we don’t have a firm date for when the event will begin. However, reliable leaker iFireMonkey shared on Twitter on December 10, 2023, that it should be starting within the next seven days. This information is based on when previous Winterfest events have started in Fortnite.
We’re not certain, but it would make sense if the event started on Tuesday, December 12, 2023. That’s when Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 1 Underground quests will reset for week 2, so we see no reason for the event not to start as well. Once it does begin, Winterfest 2023 will last for three weeks.
All Fortnite Winterfest 2023 Quests & How to Complete Them
In the table below, we’ve outlined every Fortnite Winterfest 2023 quest that we know of, how to complete them, and what players will earn as a reward. This information was leaked ahead of time by iFireMonkey on Twitter, which is why we’re able to show most of the quests before the event has even started.
Note that this table doesn’t include any of the daily quests and rewards players might be given during Winterfest 2023. We will add these as they appear once the event is live.

We don’t know for sure what these are, but based on some of the other event quest content, it looks like players will be picking up presents and delivering them to Ship it!
