Winterfest 2022 was an Annual Event in Fortnite: Battle Royale, that began on December 13th 2022 and ended on January 3rd 2023.
Fortnite v23.10 brings the upcoming Winterfest 2022! Unwrap 14 Presents for 17 free in-game items, including two free Outfits, over the course of Winterfest. (There's also a third free Outfit you can get another way!) Also, employ unvaulted equipment on the Battle Royale Island and enter a variety of “Winterfest Wonderland” islands. Winterfest 2022 runs from Dec. 13, 2022, at 9 AM ET to Jan. 3, 2023, at 9 AM ET.
Unwrap 14 Presents for Free Items![]
The Winterfest Lodge (also known as the “Cozy Lodge”) is already in-game! But this time it's not Sgt. Winter holding the fort. In the Cozy Lodge you'll find winter fairy Snowdancer, the fatigued Sled Ready Guff, and the familiar Cozy Knit Jonesy.
Starting December 13 at 9:15 AM ET, unwrap a new Present at the Lodge every day for 14 days. Wrapped up in these 14 Presents are 17 items total: two Outfits, two Gliders, two Wraps, three Lobby Tracks, three Sprays, plus a Back Bling, Pickaxe, Contrail, Emote, and Emoticon — all free! We don't want to spoil EVERY Present, but the two free Outfits are the Arctic Adeline Outfit and Sled Ready Guff Outfit:
As with Winterfests past, the Cozy Lodge is accessible through a snowflake tab in the Lobby. If you miss any days of opening Presents, simply return anytime before Winterfest ends (Jan. 3 at 9 AM ET) and open them up. Sitting by the fireplace allowed you to get 10, 20, 100, 1000 or 5000 supercharged XP every 15 seconds. Supercharged XP did not level the player up directly, but instead allowed them to gain boosted XP for the next amount gained.
Players could also open one of 14 presents which contain 17 rewards:
 Arctic Adeline Green and Red |
 Boom Bauble Light Blue and Blue |
 Fa-la-la-Llama Grey and Blue |
 Fractured Melody Purple and White |
 Gringle Gift Red and Green |
 Har-Har-Har! Orange and Green |
 Lil' Prancer Purple and Yellow |
 Naughty or Nice? Grey and Red |
 Ribbon Trail Light Blue and Yellow |
Rip & Tear (2016) Red |
 Season's Guffings Grey and Red |
 Sled Ready Guff Red and Light Blue |
 Sledgecracker Orange and Red |
 Slush-Faced Grey and Red |
 Slushy Sneak Red and Green |
 When the Wind Blows Purple and White |
 Wintry Whirligig Purple and Light Blue |
Interacting with other objects in the cabin resulted in other 'Easter Eggs' to play, such as bells that play Christmas music when selected and a fridge full of consumables.
From Unwrapping to Unvaulting: Take Up Returning Tools in Battle Royale[]
Icy equipment is coming back out of the armory in Battle Royale/Zero Build! During Winterfest 2022, launch exploding snowballs with Snowball Launchers, and throw down Holiday Presents! to open the presents up and grab their loot.
Speaking of Holiday Presents!, Sgt. Winter isn't absent from Winterfest 2022. He'll be patrolling the Island on his special big rig, throwing Holiday Presents! for players to pick up. (Just be careful not to get on his bad side…)
Please note that the Snowball Launcher will take the place of the Rocket Launcher during Winterfest.
Receive the Gift of New Experiences[]
In the Winterfest Callout, we challenged island creators to create unique and memorable experiences for Winterfest 2022. Some of our favorite islands will be featured in the Winterfest Discover row from Dec. 13, 2022, at 9 AM ET to Jan. 3, 2023, at 9 AM ET! Jump into these islands and keep your Winterfest fresh.
Another Free Outfit: “Guff Gringle” All the Way[]
Don't jingle with Gringle.
All players who log into Fortnite from the Epic Games Launcher during Winterfest (from Dec. 13, 2022, at 9 AM ET to Jan. 3, 2023, at 9 AM ET) can get the new Guff Gringle Outfit for free! Just launch Fortnite from the Epic Games Launcher on PC during Winterfest, navigate to the Item Shop, and redeem Guff Gringle.
Get a New Friend with Fortnite Crew: Chill-la-la-Llama[]
All Fortnite Crew subscribers who log into Fortnite anytime during the duration of Winterfest (Dec. 13, 2022, at 9 AM ET to Jan. 3, 2023, at 9 AM ET) will immediately receive the reactive Chill-la-la-Llama Back Bling. Constantly cold, Chill-la-la-Llama sneezes each time you get an elimination or open a Chest.
This Back Bling is similar to the unwrappable Back Bling in the Cozy Lodge, a fellow Llama who's also quite chilly.
New and Returning Wintry Outfits[]
During Winterfest 2022, new and returning wintry Outfits will be sliding into the Item Shop, including Winterfest 2022 VIPs Snowdancer and Cozy Knit Jonesy!
Spread the Winterfest Cheer for a Free Emote[]
Carry your friends, carry some weights. Play with five different friends from your friends list in any game modes during Winterfest (Dec. 13, 2022, at 9 AM ET to Jan. 3, 2023, at 9 AM ET) to receive the Curling Iron Emote. Reward grants begin on or around January 6 ET.
As you’re exploring the Cozy Lodge, using unvaulted items, and wandering the Winterfest Callout islands, complete Winterfest-themed "This Week" Quests for XP! There will be two sets of these weekly Quests: the first will run from 9 AM ET on December 13 to 9 AM ET on December 20, and the second will run from 9 AM ET on December 20 to 9 AM ET on December 27.

Trivia[]
- Presents could have been given by one of a few people, them being:
- The contents inside the fridge in the cabin changed every day.
- On December 27th 2022, all Winterfest items were vaulted in Battle Royale. No official reason or announcement was given for the early vaulting of Winterfest items.
- Unexpectedly, the Heavy Shotgun was unvaulted on the same day.
