What a crazy day, guys! It’s Winterfest time again in Fortnite, and you know what that means – a whole bunch of new goodies in the item shop! I just had to dive in and see what was up, so let me tell you all about my adventure.
First off, I launched Fortnite, obviously. The lobby was all decked out in festive decorations, instantly putting me in the holiday spirit. I mean, who doesn’t love seeing that giant Christmas tree, right? I navigated to the item shop, and my jaw dropped. So many new skins and items! It took a minute to just to take it all in.

- Mariah Carey Skin: The queen of Christmas herself is in Fortnite! I couldn’t believe it. I’ve always been a fan of her holiday music, and this skin looks amazing. I snatched it up right away.
- Winterfest Snoop Dogg: Okay, this one was a surprise. It’s not Snoop’s first time in the game, but a holiday version? Yes, please! He is cool and definitely worth grabbing.
- Santa Shaq: They brought back Santa Shaq! I missed him last time, so you bet I added him to my collection this time around. He’s just too fun to pass up.
I spent a good chunk of time just browsing through everything. I was like a kid in a candy store, seriously. I checked out all of the Winterfest presents, too. You’re supposed to open one a day, but I was too excited. I tried shaking them, listening closely, hoping I could guess what was inside, but no luck, so I ended up checking online to see what all the rewards were. Turns out, there are two free skins this year: Yulejacket and Santa Dogg! I made sure to grab them before they’re gone. There are also some cool back blings, pickaxes, and gliders hidden in those presents. It’s a lot to explore, I tell you.
Exploring Winterfest
After the shopping spree, I hopped into a few matches to try out my new gear. The whole Winterfest vibe is just awesome. There’s a limited-time mode that’s super fun, and the map has some cool holiday-themed locations. I spent the rest of the evening playing with friends, showing off our new skins, and just enjoying the festive atmosphere.
All in all, it was a blast. Fortnite really knows how to do events right. I can’t wait to see what else they have in store for us during Winterfest 2023. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you definitely should. It runs from December 14th to January 2nd, so there’s plenty of time to get in on the fun. Trust me, you don’t want to miss out!
Stay tuned for more updates, guys. I’ll be back soon with more Fortnite adventures!
