| Outfit | How to unlock | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Glacial Dummy | Open seven other presents. | Epic Games, 2025 |
| Cheeks | Open thirteen other presents. | Epic Games, 2025 |
The thresholds refer to other presents opened, not a separate shop purchase. Epic’s announcement describes the cabin rewards and opening rules in its Winterfest 2025 announcement.
Which Winterfest 2025 Outfits were in the Item Shop?
Epic named Santa ‘Brina, Snow Miku, and customizable Harry Potter Hogwarts house-themed Outfits as shop offerings. The announcement does not give a separate debut date for any of them, so the event start date or daily cabin reset should not be treated as a verified release date for a particular Outfit.
