Many players return to Fortnite each season thanks to the events the game hosts to coincide with other seasons or holidays happening in the real world. With the winter season of Fortnite just beginning, many players are curious about when they can expect the season’s yearly holiday celebration, called Winterfest.

When will Fortnite‘s Winterfest 2022 begin?
As of right now, we don’t have an exact date. What we do know is that the event will likely happen soon, as last year’s event took place in the latter half of December.
