There are several events that take place each year in Fortnite, and Winterfest is one of the most anticipated annual celebrations in-game. As is tradition, gamers can visit the Winterfest lodge and open a present with a free cosmetic item every day that the event is live. These freebies are one of the reasons why Winterfest is one of the most anticipated times in Fortnite.

Which Present At the Lodge Is the Santa Dogg Skin

Santa Dogg is one of the rewards being given away in the 2024 Winterfest annual event in Fortnite. Players can only open one present per day during Winterfest, and while most gift boxes were already displayed at the start of the event, that was not the case with Santa Dogg. There is one pile of presents on the right and another one on the left and there is one solitary yellow and red present between the two piles - here is where gamers will find Santa Dogg.

To get Santa Dogg in Fortnite, players have to enter the Winterfest Lodge, select the yellow and red present in the center, and open it. Santa Dogg will then pop out and surprise gamers.

How Long Will Santa Dogg Be Available in Fortnite

Santa Dogg will be available for free until the end of the Winterfest event, whose end date is on January 7. Thankfully, the skin is an event exclusive, so players will be able to purchase it in the Item Shop at a later date. However, if players get it at ths time, it won't be free, and they must acquire it using V-Bucks.
