The route was Fortnite main menu → Snowflake icon → Visit Lodge. Winterfest ran from December 18, 2025, to January 5, 2026, so the event and its cabin are no longer active as of October 8, 2026.
How to find the cabin during Winterfest 2025
- Open Fortnite’s main menu.
- Select the Snowflake icon in the top menu.
- Choose Visit Lodge to enter the cabin.
You did not need to search the island or land at a map coordinate. The instructions above describe the 2025 event route; they do not establish what a later Fortnite client will show. Epic’s Winterfest 2025 announcement confirms the event schedule and rewards, while a contemporaneous December 18, 2025 guide documents the menu route.

When Winterfest 2025 ran
Epic announced Winterfest 2025 for December 18, 2025, at 9 AM ET through January 5, 2026, at 9 AM ET. The cabin refreshed daily at 9 AM ET during the event. These dates and times apply to that event, not to a future Winterfest.
What the cabin offered
Epic’s 2025 announcement described 14 presents, with one present available each day. Most could be opened in any order, but two had prerequisites:
#1 Best Overall
- Darkfire Bundle: Including 3 outfits (with LEGO Styles) and back blings; Dark Power Chord, Dark Six String, Molten Omen, Molten Battle Shroud, Shadow Ark, Shadow Ark Wings, plus 3 wraps, 3 dual-wielding pickaxes, and an emote!
- Deep Freeze Bundle: Cool off with the Deep Freeze set and 1,000 V-Bucks. Includes the frostbite outfit (with LEGO Style), freezing point back bling, chill-axe pickaxe, and cold front glider.
- The Fortnite – Darkfire & Ice Bundle includes 10+ cosmetics and 1,000 V-Bucks!
- Glacial Dummy: open seven other presents first.
- Cheeks: open 13 other presents first.
Those gift rules applied to Winterfest 2025; they do not mean the presents can still be claimed now. For historical context, Epic’s Winterfest 2024 guide also located its cabin under the Lobby’s Snowflake tab, but that earlier interface is not proof of how a later version of Fortnite works.
Quick Recap
Best Value
- An Epic Games account is required to redeem an Epic Games Store Card code
- If playing on a console platform (PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Nintendo Switch or Mobile) you need to link your Epic Games account to that gaming platform (one time) to redeem your gift card code
- The 16 digit code on the back of the card WILL NOT work if redeemed directly through your gaming platform (PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Nintendo Switch, Mobile, etc.)
- Note: Nintendo devices do not support Fortnite Shared Wallet, so V-Bucks purchased using your account balance will not show up on your Nintendo device. However, if you purchase items in the web Item Shop — or another platform where you play Fortnite — those items will be available in your Locker across all platforms.
- Redemption: Online
