Fortnite WinterFest 2019 - Event details and leaks

Fortnite WinterFest is all set to begin today and will supposedly go on until the 6th of January, 2020.

WinterFest is another themed event that also brings with it a horde of new cosmetics, challenges and much more to Fortnite. Similar to Fortnitemares during the Halloween season, Winterfest will also be a limited-time event where players will have the opportunity to complete event-specific challenges to claim free rewards through the duration of the event.

Christmas time in Fortnite always had players looking forward to new additions in the game and this time is no different. Data miners have leaked screenshots and a preview of how WinterFest lobby would look like.
