Christmas is another holiday where Epic and Fortnite take advantage to get some great thematic cosmetics into the game. Some absolutely iconic outfits have come out of the winter months, so we’ll be taking a look at all of the Fortnite Christmas skins in this post. If you’re looking to get some of these skins, you’ll likely get a chance once December comes around! Epic has been pretty good about bringing just about every holiday skin back to the shop once it is coming up.
Fortnite Christmas Skins List
Here’s our look at all of the Christmas outfits by year!
Fortnite Christmas 2022 Skins
The batch of Christmas outfits for 2022 looks chic with Graveheart and Snowdancer, this year’s Winterfest host in the Lodge. Sled Ready Guff and Guff Gringle are bringing that holiday vibe, together with Arctic Adeline. A very high-quality set of skins, in our opinion.
Fortnite Christmas 2021 Skins
Thie batch of Christmas outfits for 2021 are some of the coolest yet, literally! The Polar Peely lets you rock the chilly blue banana look. The festive Krisabelle skin and her blue counterpart hail from the school of “Oakwitch Academy.” Cozy Knit Jonesy complements the blue theme with his very cozy sweater!
Fortnite Christmas 2020 Skins
This batch of Christmas outfits for 2020 are a mixed bunch? Why? Because a lot of them have not been released yet. We still have a few days until the merry day, so the rest of the outfits may or may not be released beforehand. We’re hoping they are. Though one outfit, in particular, steals the show from all previous years, we’re talking about Mr. Dappermint as that outfit is amazing.
Like last year this year is another great year for free skins, as you can get Snowmando and Frost Squad for completing Operation Snowdown challenges.

Fortnite Christmas 2019 Skins
The batch of Christmas outfits for 2019 was much better, in my opinion than the previous year. The Cozy Command set is a wonderful group of skins, especially the value you get for the lowest price for an outfit. You get four styles with one skin, and most people will have enough V-Bucks to get one! Globe Shaker is a really great and unique skin option, and the globe itself is really distinct. Yule Trooper is a great concept that gives you a bit of that Nightmare Before Christmas vibe. Shiver, while not directly Christmas-related, is a fun winter option that stands out from other skins. It’s a good one if you like the season, but don’t want something directly related to the holiday.
This was also a great year because players got a chance to get two skins for free! If you opened up your gifts during Winterfest 2019, you would eventually get Lt. Evergreen and Wooly Warrior for free!
Fortnite Christmas 2018 Skins
There are some hits and misses in the 2018 batch of Christmas skins. I think Slushy Soldier and Grimbles are a bit underrated. Slushy is a great kind of fun and goofy skin, and I think it makes a great one to squad up with if you’ve got friends who also have it. Grimbles just gets the concept right, and I also really love the evil-style version that is particularly demonic. Krampus is also a pretty unique outfit with a lot of great details. I would like to see it get some additional styles.
The rest aren’t bad, but they kind of miss the mark for me. Glimmer is a well-done skin, I just don’t know if it brings enough to the table to be a Legendary.
Fortnite Christmas 2017 Skins
To kick off the Christmas celebrations in Fortnite, they came out of the gate very strong in 2017! This is just a great group of skins that have stood the test of time. You’ve got awesome-looking Ginger Bread outfits with Ginger Gunner and Merry Marauder. I love how much detail they have while maintaining simplicity. Nog OPS is another simplistic skin, but it’s so well done thematically, and it just screams Christmas without being over the top. Codename ELF was another great outfit, and was highly sought after because it didn’t return in 2018. It got thrown into a bundle in 2019 and even added a new style.
Crackshot, to me, is a great skin as well! It’s a bit underrated, in my opinion, but it really nails the concept. It even has three new styles that give you some great options to play with!
