Fortnite Winterfest end date — here's the last day you can claim free rewards

Fortnite characters gather around a fire in the snow. Presents, and Christmas lights decorate the island.

Fortnite Winterfest is well underway, and there's still time to claim free rewards via the cabin. It'll all be over soon, however, so here's when the Winterfest event ends.

Players are currently working their way through Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1, which shook up the map and many of the game's core systems. While we all wait for the next Season of Fortnite, there are the Winterfest celebrations to tide us over for the next few days. With huge updates like these, it's no wonder that Fortnite continues to rank highly in our best crossplay games list.

Here's the Fortnite Winterfest end date, and everything announced so far for the remainder of the event. As new info is revealed, I'll update this page.

Fortnite Winterfest is an annual event themed around the Holiday season. For the past few years, there's been an interactive Advent calendar, where players could open presents each day, containing festive-themed cosmetics. These have ranged from loading screens to harvesting tools and skins.

In the Tweet embedded below, you'll see a Holiday postcard, with some characters gathered outside a cabin. You can see Harry Potter characters, Sabrina Carpenter, Hatsune Miku, and then original characters like Jonesy and Fishstick.
