Epic Games has announced a major change to the Winterfest 2025 Fortnite presents feature. Players who want to unwrap the free gifts in the battle royale will need to be careful not to miss them this year. Here is how to open all Fortnite Winterfest presents.
Fortnite Winterfest 2025 Presents No Longer Stack, Epic Confirms
Fortnite Winterfest 2025 is live in the battle royale, which means you can now open up free presents. During the launch on December 18, some players were accidentally allowed to unwrap two gifts early in the Winterfest Cabin. This led to Epic Games making an announcement that the bug had been fixed. However, the studio then revealed that there has been a major change to the free Fortnite presents this year: they no longer stack.
“Winterfest PSA: Some players opened two Cabin presents today due to a bug, which we’ve fixed. To clarify, you can only open one present each day from today to January 5 at 9am ET — they don’t stack. Check our blog for details on when you can unwrap this year’s Outfits.” The studio also clarified that the two free Winterfest 2025 skins can only be unlocked after unwrapping a specific amount of gifts.
“Unwrap the Glacial Dummy Outfit after you’ve opened seven other presents, and the Cheeks Outfit after you’ve opened 13.” The reason this change is a big deal is that it means players will have to log in almost every day if they want to open all of their free Winterfest 2025 Fortnite presents. You can no longer wait until January 5 and collect the gifts all at once, as they no longer stack. This also means that Fortnite Presents are now missable.

which present is miku in fortnite?
Despite rumors initially claiming we would get a free Snow Miku present and a Sabrina Carpenter skin, this ended up not being true. The Snow Miku skin will be sold in the Fortnite Item Shop starting on Friday, December 19, 2025.
The Sabrina Carpenter Christmas skin will also be sold in a bundle on Monday, December 22. So Snow Miku is not actually found in a Winterfest 2025 present. For full details on the new Santa ‘Brina skin, check out our guide how to get the cosmetic here.
