Fortnite’s annual Winterfest celebration is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet, thanks to recent leaks that have the community buzzing. According to reliable dataminer HYPEX and other trusted leakers, players can expect festive versions of both virtual pop icon Hatsune Miku and chart-topping singer Sabrina Carpenter to hit the Item Shop this December.
What the leaks reveal
The leaks suggest that a Winter Hatsune Miku skin will arrive during Winterfest 2025, which is expected to launch around December 18. This wouldn’t be Miku’s first appearance in Fortnite, she headlined the Music Pass earlier this year, but a seasonal variant has fans particularly excited. The virtual diva’s fanbase is already speculating about the design, with many hoping for a proper Snow Miku aesthetic rather than just a generic holiday remix.
As for Sabrina Carpenter, the leak points to a sparkly Santa-inspired outfit, likely based on her Netflix special “A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter.” Fans are already imagining the potential for an incredible trailer, possibly featuring her holiday hit “Santa Doesn’t Know You Like I Do.” Given her massive popularity following the success of songs like “Espresso,” this collaboration feels like a natural fit.
Community reactions are wild
The response online has been a mix of pure excitement and playful debate. Some players are ecstatic about getting two major music collaborations in one event, while others have jokingly started a “Team Miku vs. Team Sabrina” rivalry in the comments. One thing’s for sure—both fanbases are hyped.
There’s also intense speculation about whether either skin will be free. Winterfest traditionally includes free gifts through the event’s daily unwrapping feature, and last year’s free Snoop Dogg skin set a high bar. Many players are hoping Miku might be this year’s freebie, though nothing has been confirmed.
What to expect from Winterfest 2025
Beyond these two headlining skins, Winterfest 2025 is rumored to bring back the beloved cabin where players can unwrap daily presents. The event typically runs from mid-December through early January, giving everyone plenty of time to collect festive cosmetics and participate in holiday-themed challenges.
Epic Games hasn’t officially confirmed these leaks yet, but with Winterfest likely just days away, we shouldn’t have to wait much longer for the official announcement. Whether you’re Team Miku, Team Sabrina, or just here for the holiday vibes, this year’s Winterfest is shaping up to be memorable.
