Winterfest 2025 in Fortnite does not have an officially confirmed start date yet.

Current status

Epic Games has not announced the exact dates for Winterfest 2025, so anything right now is based on leaks and past years rather than a firm schedule. Official confirmation will likely arrive closer to the mid‑December update once Epic is confident in the event timing.

Expected time window

Multiple gaming outlets and dataminers expect Winterfest 2025 to begin sometime between December 14 and December 20, 2025. Some predictions narrow it further to around December 18–19, partly because many recent Fortnite events have started on a Thursday or Friday in that mid‑December window.

Past Winterfest dates

Looking at previous years helps explain the estimates for 2025.

Year| Start date| Day
---|---|---
2021| December 16| Thursday 17
2022| December 13| Tuesday 17
2023| December 14| Thursday 17
2024| December 20| Friday 17

These mid‑December starts are why most sources expect Winterfest 2025 to land in roughly the same week, even though the exact day is still unconfirmed.
