The holidays have officially hit the island. Fortnite Winterfest 2025 is live, and for Australian gamers, that means one thing: Free Loot.
However, searching for the iconic “Winterfest Cabin” (or Cozy Lodge) has left some players confused this morning. Is it a tab in the lobby? Is it an in-game location? Or has Epic Games changed the menu again?
Here is your quick guide to finding the cabin, unwrapping your daily presents, and grabbing the free skins before the event ends.
🏠 Where is the Winterfest Cabin?
If you are staring at your lobby screen and can’t find the snowflake tab, don’t panic.
- The Location: Look at the top navigation bar (where you see “Play”, “Locker”, “Shop”).
- The Snowflake Icon: There should be a new Snowflake icon or a dedicated “Winterfest” tab next to the V-Bucks counter.
- Click It: This will transport you directly into the interactive Winterfest Cabin environment. You do not need to drop into a Battle Royale match to open presents.
🎁 The Free Skins & Rewards
This year, Epic Games is giving away massive rewards. Once inside the Cabin, you can choose one present to unwrap every 24 hours (resetting at 1:00 AM AEDT daily).
What’s inside the boxes?
- 2 Free Outfits (Skins): Usually hidden in the largest boxes at the back.
- Accessories: Gliders, Pickaxes, Wraps, and Lobby Music tracks.
- XP Boosts: Essential for finishing your Battle Pass before the season ends.
📱 Tech Tip: How to Claim Gifts While on Holiday
Are you away from your PC or PlayStation this weekend visiting family? You don’t have to miss a daily gift.
- Use Xbox Cloud Gaming: You can log in to Fortnite via a browser on your Android or iPhone using Xbox Cloud Gaming (Free).
- GeForce Now: Another solid option for playing on a low-end laptop.
- Why this matters: Daily gifts sometimes stack, but it is safer to log in daily to ensure you don’t miss the limited-time items.
