Fortnite Winterfest 2025 — Harry Potter, Hatsune Miku Leaks & Everything We Know

Fortnite’s yearly holiday celebration is getting ready for another huge return, and Winterfest 2025 is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about seasonal events thanks to early leaks. Whether it’s the endless crossovers or the consistently strong themed events, Epic Games knows exactly how to keep players coming back. And while Halloween’s Fortnitemares always attracts plenty of hype, Winterfest remains the crown jewel — the event that showers players with festive content, free rewards, and a full holiday makeover.

Below is everything known so far about Winterfest 2025, including leaked skins, collaborations, expected map changes, and more.

When Is Fortnite Winterfest 2025? 📅

Epic Games has not yet confirmed an official start date. However, based on previous Winterfest releases, the event is expected to begin between December 13 and December 20.

• The v39.10 update is set to arrive on December 11, and as usual, dataminers will uncover most Winterfest content once that patch hits the files.
• After this update, leakers should be able to pinpoint the exact launch date, along with detailed info about skins, map changes, and rewards.

Hatsune Miku Winter Skin Leak 🎤❄️

Dataminers report that Hatsune Miku — who made her long-awaited Fortnite debut earlier in 2025 — will return with a festive Winter Miku skin.

Key details so far:

• The skin is confirmed to be part of Winterfest content.
• It’s unknown whether she will be a store cosmetic or a free event reward.
• For Miku fans hoping for more content, the wait is almost over. 💙✨

Harry Potter Crossover Leak 🪄🧹

One of the biggest surprises in the leak cycle is the reveal that Harry Potter is finally coming to Fortnite — a crossover that's been requested for years.

According to well-known leaker HYPEX, the collab will feature:

• A Broom Mythic allowing players to fly across the map
• Multiple skins, with obvious expectations being:Harry Potter
• Hermione Granger
• Ron Weasley

What’s not clear yet:

• Whether skins will be based on book characters, the film actors (Daniel Radcliffe & cast), or the upcoming HBO series launching in 2027.

Either way, this is positioned to be one of Fortnite’s biggest crossovers ever. ⚡📚

Will the Winterfest Cabin Return? 🛖🎁

Epic hasn’t confirmed whether the classic Winterfest Cabin will return in 2025 — but expectations lean strongly toward yes.

• In 2023, the cabin was removed, disappointing a huge portion of the community.
• In 2024, developers restored it, once again allowing players to enter the cabin, pick their gifts daily, and even claim a free Snoop Dogg skin.

With that precedent, the cabin is widely expected to return this year so players can enjoy the traditional daily-present-opening ritual.

Expected Map Changes 🗺️❄️

A major part of Winterfest is the island’s seasonal transformation, and 2025 should follow the same pattern.

You can expect:

• A map covered in snow or at least heavily winter-themed
• Decorative placements: Christmas trees 🎄
• Festive lights ✨
• Holiday props across POIs
• A brighter, more cheerful atmosphere throughout the island

Epic consistently leans fully into the holiday aesthetic, so a snow-blanketed Fortnite island is almost guaranteed.
