Fortnite Winterfest 2022 event is just around the corner. With the recent release of Chapter 4 Season 1, this has to be one of the most exciting months in the Battle Royale game this year. After getting a whole new island, unique weapons, and an exciting Battle Pass, players are now in for free seasonal rewards.
Winterfest is one of the only seasonal events in Epic's Battle Royale game that offers a range of free rewards. Every year around Christmas, players can get up to two free skins and other Christmas-themed cosmetics to flaunt while they stack up their Victory Royales.
As the winter season arrives, players are eager to know when Fortnite Winterfest 2022 will start and how to claim the free rewards. Fortunately, there are several leaks available to quench Loopers' curiosity. Recently leaked images show some of the cosmetic rewards coming this year, including the Winterfest cabin.

Everything we know about Fortnite Winterfest 2022
Winterfest is the most exciting holiday event in Epic's Battle Royale game. Each year, the event drops with the first content update of the season. This usually takes place in the second half of December. Last year, the Winterfest event was released on December 16, and players can expect it to follow a similar timeline this year as well.
Winterfest 2022 will most probably start on December 15 since Epic Games has a history of releasing the event on a Thursday. If this is the case, then players have around 10 days to prepare for all the Christmas-themed challenges and rewards that are about to arrive in the Battle Royale game.
Leaked free Fortnite Winterfest 2022 rewards
FNLeaksAdnInfo on Twitter recently got their hands on some of the free rewards coming in Winterfest 2022. Fortnite leaks show the Lil Prancer emote, where players will bounce on a wrapped llama. The Wintry Whirligig glider will also arrive this season for free, accompanied by the Ribbon Trail contrail.
This year's Winterfest 2022 cabin is pretty similar to the previous ones. It is a log cabin filled with festive decorations. There are several gifts lying around, including a well-lit Christmas tree. The leaked image of this year's Winterfest cabin also features three distinct characters, which could be the free skins players will be getting.
One possible free Fortnite Winterfest 2022 skin looks like a polar bear dressed as a reindeer. There are also two characters sitting on the couch in the cabin. One of them is Jonesy in his Christmas attire, so another Jonesy skin is a possibility.
How to participate in the Fortnite Winterfest 2022 event
Participating in the Christmas event is one of the easiest tasks in the game. Players simply have to click on the Winterfest Lodge, which takes them to the cabin filled with free rewards. There are usually around 10 rewards every year. Players can unlock a new free reward each day, and the free skins will be unlocked at the end.
Players will be eagerly waiting for an official announcement from Epic Games for the Winterfest 2022 start date and a list of all the free cosmetics. Until then, they can enjoy everything new that Chapter 4 Season 1 has to offer.
