Our first glimpse at this year’s Fortnite Christmas skins is here, thanks to reliable dataminers. At least ten new skins will land in Epic Games’ ever-popular battle royale this holiday season. That’s on top of new pickaxes, emotes, and gliders to add to the festive theme. Join us as we look at the best upcoming Fortnite Christmas skins, to kit your character out this winter.
Fortnite Chapter 3 Christmas skins list
The new Fortnite Christmas skins in Chapter 3 are as follows:
- Icebound Midas
- Permafrost Raider
- Ice Crystal
- Azuki
- Dawn
- Glumbunny
- Cozy Knit Jonesy
- Reina
- Blizzabelle
- Mel
- Ice Peely
While none of these skins are live just yet, they should arrive in the upcoming Winterfest update. These skins were revealed by Hypex, a renowned Fortnite leaker, on Twitter. They also shared images of some of these skins, with classic Fortnite characters like Jonesy imbued with a festive twist. One particular highlight is Ice Peely, a frozen version of the renowned banana skin. It’s a fun twist on existing characters, making them the perfect fit for this holiday season.

Of course, not all of these characters will be freely available. In fact, since none of them are on the Chapter 3 Season 1 battle pass, the chances are they’ll all cost V-Bucks. As such, you’ll have to fork out real money to use them, though some free items should drop in Fortnite Winterfest. According to Hypex, an emote called Epic Yarn will be free, where your character plays with a ball of string. You’ll likely unlock it by completing a set of objectives, similar to the recent Gears of War spray quest.
On top of that, more skins are coming to Fortnite that aren’t Christmas-related. On December 24, renowned bounty hunter Boba Fett lands in the item shop, just in time for his upcoming Disney Plus TV show.
