How to Get Free Winterfest Skins in Fortnite

Which Presents Are the Free Skins on the Winterfest Lodge?

There are 14 presents scattered around the Winterfest Lodge in Fortnite, and each one contains a mystery item for players to collect. It has been revealed that two of the presents contain a skin, which immediately caught players' attention.

The free Winterfest skins are inside the tall green presents located on the left side of the lodge. If players want to get their hands on the free Cheeks and Glacial Dummy skins, they will have to open these presents.

Fortnite Winterfest presents

Unfortunately, players will quickly find out that they cannot open either of the large green presents in Fortnite, as they can only be obtained after they've claimed a few presents.

Glacial Dummy is the green present on the left. To unlock Glacial Dummy, players will have to come back once they've opened seven other Winterfest gifts. This means that gamers will only be able to obtain the Glacial Dummy skin in Fortnite on December 25.

Cheeks is the green presents on the right side. Players will have to open 13 other presents before they're able to get their hands on this skin. The Cheeks skin will become available on December 31, the last day of the year.
