Fortnite has been live for plenty of Christmases now, and in that time, Epic Games has introduced over 50 festive styles and skins to celebrate the season of joy.
We’ve seen everything from Cozy Jonesy to full-blown characters like Guff Gringle, Snowmando, Kane, and Crackshot introduced into Fortnite. Epic Games has also followed a similar approach by introducing Halloween-themed skins.
Here’s a list and images of every Fortnite Christmas skin, starting with the oldest ones in 2017 and ending with the most recent batch in 2023.
Fortnite Christmas 2017 Skins
Codename E.L.F.
Codename E.L.F. is one of the oldest Fortnite Christmas skins. It resembles Will Ferell’s character in the 2003 Christmas comedy movie Elf and has two additional styles: an evil-looking one called Minty and a blue-colored one called Codename H.E.L.P.E.R.
Crackshot
Crackshot is iconic. It’s essentially a wild-looking toy soldier wearing a red Christmas-like outfit and a crown. It has four additional styles: Blue, Pink, Gold, and Crackskull—the latter of which is even creepier than the standard one.
Ginger Gunner
Ginger Gunner is essentially a Gingerbread Woman with two styles, one with an angry face and one with a happy face, a pair of red gloves, and a white shin guard.
Merry Marauder
Merry Marauder is the male equivalent of Ginger Gunner. It’s a Gingerbread Man with two variants, one with an angry face and another with a happy face, and the same gloves and shin guard.
Nog Ops
Nog Ops is a pretty standard Christmas skin. It’s a woman wearing a Christmas hat and a wooly decorative jumper with jeans, a belt, and gloves. The name refers to eggnog, a drink associated with Christmas in some cultures.
Red-Nosed Raider
Red-Nosed Raider is similar to Nog Ops in the sense it has a Christmas-themed wooly jumper. The difference, however, lies in the red nose, deer horns, and red jeans intended to mimic Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Yuletide Ranger
Yuletide Ranger is the male equivalent of Nog Ops. It has the same attire, with the only difference being the Christmas hat is replaced with a Trapper hat, often associated with winter.
Fortnite Christmas 2018 Skins
Crackabella
Crackabella is a skin similar to Crackshot but looks more endearing than its crazed counterpart. It has a wooden toy aesthetic, complete with a white, regal-looking outfit and a crown.
Glimmer
Glimmer is a Fortnite skin that looks a lot like Elsa from Frozen. She looks like an ice princess of sorts, with a teal and white dress and cascading winter-esque ornaments to add some flair. It is part of the Winter Wonderland Set.
Grimbles
Grimbles is a Rare skin that mimics the look of a typical Garden Gnome. It has the iconic red pointed hat, a porcelain-looking face, and a burgundy, blue, and teal get-up to round off the Gnomish look.
Krampus
Krampus is a Legendary skin released as a part of the Krampus Set. The evil-looking character has a lizard-like tongue, ghoulish purple eyes, and red, white, and teal garb fit for a warlock.
Red-Nosed Ranger
The Red-Nosed Ranger is Jonesy dressed in red pants, a brown top, and a brown cap with deer horns on top to mimic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, with a red-nose prop to boot.
Sgt. Winter
Unlike most Christmas skins, which tend to be upbeat and cheerful, Sgt. Winter looks like a total badass. It’s something akin to Santa Claus’ head with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s body and tribal tattoos on its arms. It was a part of the Season Seven Battle Pass and the Sgt. Winter Set.
Slushy Soldier
Slushy Soldier is an Epic skin based on the appearance of a snowman. It has a golden tooth, a red and blue Christmas sweater, and wears a strap of weaponized carrots that look like bullets.
Sugarplum
Sugarplum is a skin based on the Sugar Plum Fairy character in The Nutcracker, a fairy ballet set on Christmas Eve. It has blue and purple fairy wings, a Christmas outfit, and a blue hat with cascading pompoms.
Tinseltoes
Tinseltoes is an elf-like skin with the kind of outfit you’d expect from an elf—red and white striped leggings, a red chest piece covered in green and white garb, and a matching hat.
Fortnite Christmas 2019 Skins
Cozy Commander
2019 had plenty of fancy Christmas skins, but Cozy Commander was perhaps the most basic. It’s a woman wearing a Christmas hat, a matching festive sweater, a green llama, and tights.
Cutiepie
Adorable, or creepy. Take your pick. Cutiepie was released in Chapter Two, season one as a part of the Nightmare Yule Set and is a scary-looking female gnome, although you can take the mask off, exposing a punky human character.
Dolph
Ever wanted to dress up as a bipedal reindeer wearing sunglasses, a Christmas sweater, and cargo pants? That’s Dolph in a nutshell, and it was quite a hit when it released in Chapter Two, season one.
Frosted Flurry
Another skin with a simple design, Frosted Flurry is a punky-looking woman with frosty white hair, a pink top with a snowflake etched onto it, and glittery blue tights to round off the look.
Frozen Fishstick
Frozen Fishstick released in Chapter Two, season one as a part of the Polar Legends Set, and it sees our fishy friend sport an ice-cold frozen look instead of his usual orange one, hence the name.
Frozen Nog Ops
A blue winter jumper with white and blue patterns laced onto it is the centerpiece of the Frozen Nog Ops skin, although the white beanie with a snowflake logo and the white jeans and boots complement it well.
Globe Shaker
Globe Shaker is one of the neater skins on the list. It has a snow globe with a Christmas tree inside as its head. It also holds a similar one and has a bright orange sweater and blue pants to match. It comes in a mint style or green and purple for a different look.
Holly Jammer
Holly Jammer looks similar to Cozy Commander. The sweater is the same—it’s red, wooly, and has a green llama design. It also has a red hat, red tights with white snowflakes, and brown Ugg boots.
Jolly Jammer
Jolly Jammer is the same as Holly Jammer in terms of the get-up, but it’s a completely different character.
Kane
Forget the Grinch. Kane is the creepiest Christmas villain of them all. Released as a part of the Nightmare Yule Set, it’s a fiendish-looking Candy Cane with metal claws and an iron mask covering half its face.
Lt. Evergreen
At one point in time, Lt. Evergreen was considered to be a pay-to-win skin because it’s basically Jonesy dressed as a Christmas tree, which players used to blend into the environment. It does look pretty neat, too.
PJ Patroller
PJ Patroller has the same outfit as Cozy Commander, Holly Jammer, and Jolly Jammer, but it comes in three additional styles—Camo, Pattern, and Festive, which have different patterns and colors.
Polar Patroller
Arguably one of the best Christmas skins released in 2019, Polar Patroller is a burly, rugged polar bear wearing a bullet-proof vest, combat pants, armguards, and an eye patch.
Shiver
Shiver was the perfect Christmas skin for Fortnite players who wanted to sport a different look from all the upbeat wooly jumpers going around. It’s an ice demon, complete with frosted horns and wings.
The Devourer
The Devourer is supposed to be something akin to the abominable snowman, with the main difference being it has one eye like a cyclops. Truly one of the most terrifying Christmas skins to date.
Wooly Warrior
Epic never released a full-blown mammoth skin for Christmas, but they did release Wooly Warrior, which is the next best thing. It’s a woman dressed as one, with a bit of frost added on top.
Yule Trooper
Given how ​​popular Skull Trooper has been since its inception in Fortnitemares 2017, Yule Trooper was released in 2019 as the Christmas variant. It looks the same but sports a red and white Christmas outfit instead.
Fortnite Christmas 2020 Skins
Blinky
The Fortnite Christmas skin with the most glitz and glamor in 2020 was, without a doubt, Blinky. Released in Chapter Two, season five as a part of the Twinkle Team Set, it’s basically a shiny scarecrow with starry bling and a few Christmas props like a hat, scarf, and pouch.
Cozy Jonesy
Cozy Jonesy is a skin that has the fan-favorite character wearing the most dad-like festive sweater with a gray Trapper hat and Khaki pants. It was released in Chapter Two, season five as a part of the Cocoa Commando Set.
Gingerbread Raider
There’s no such thing as too many skins, and Gingerbread Raider was yet another popular one. Instead of being a full-blown Gingerbread woman, it’s a human character dressed to look the part.
Holly Striker
Holly Striker is a simple skin. It’s an athletic-looking character wearing red tights with a matching crop top with a Christmas pattern, covered in a nifty green and red jacket, and holding a snowball. It was also bundled with the Holly Jolly Hatchet Back Bling.
Karve
Karve might be the coolest Christmas Fortnite skin to date. Released in Chapter Two, season five as a part of the Fresh Powder Set, it’s essentially a street-smart character wearing black trackies and a matching sweatshirt covered in a red Christmas-themed puffer jacket with a furry hood.Â
Mr. Dappermint
Mr. Dappermint is the most dapper-looking Candy Cane you’ll ever see. He’s literally a Candy Cane with gold boat shoes, a black and gold fedora with a matching bowtie, and an epic mustache.
Snowbell
Snowbell is another elf-like skin. It has a green and gold outfit consisting of a pointed hat, a one-piece top and skirt, leggings, and boots, but it also has blue and mint styles—the latter of which looks evil.
Snowmando
Snowmando is another skin based on a snowman. The main difference, however, is that it’s a beefed-up variant with military-like attire and a lot of muscle mass on its snowy arms.
Frost Squad
Frost Squad was the perfect Christmas skin for those who wanted one emphasizing urban style over festive flair. It consists of a white and blue outfit fit for traversing the snow, with graffiti-like blue veins etched on.
Fa-La-La-La-Fishstick
Fa-La-La-La-Fishstick is, well—you guessed it—a humanoid fish stick. The Rare skin is bundled with The Fishcracker Back Bling and ties into the Christmas theme thanks to its green and white outfit, designed to look like a traditional Christmas tree, complete with an ornament on top.
Fortnite Christmas 2021 Skins
Polar Peely
Yep, you guessed it. Polar Peely is based on the banana-like Peely skin we all know and love but with a Christmas-themed winter twist. It looks like a frozen banana, complete with an icy blue color.
Krisabelle
Krisabelle is another bread-and-butter Christmas-themed skin. It’s a character wearing a Christmassy outfit consisting of a red and white top and a red, white, and green skirt with knee-high socks.
Blizzabelle
Blizzabelle is a skin that’s very similar to Krisabelle, with the main difference being the top, skirt, and socks are blue and white—tying into a snowy, blizzard-like theme rather than red and white.
Cozy Knit Jonesy
Cozy Knit Jonesy is essentially the Jonesy equivalent of Blizzabelle. Rather than donning his usual get-up, the staple character is wearing a wooly blue and white winter-themed outfit.
Fortnite Christmas 2022 Skins
Arctic Adeline
Arctic Adeline is a cool-looking hip-hop-style Christmas skin with the perfect balance of flair and style. It includes sunglasses, a hoodie, and trackpants, all of which tie into the Christmas spirit.
Guff Gringle
Guff Gringle might be the coolest skin of all. It’s basically Santa Claus but with one key difference—a feathered red and white body that resembles something akin to a Christmas rooster.
Sled Ready Guff
Sled Ready Guff is similar to Guff Gringle, but rather than resembling Santa Claus, it looks more like a yeti. It has white and brown feathers rather than white and red and deer horns.
Snowdancer
Snowdancer looks like something between a pop diva and an angel, which makes sense given the name. She’s described as the Winter Fairy of the northern climes and is part of the Fae Ballet set.
Graveheart
Graveheart looks far more angelic than Snowdancer, with a trace of gargoyle. It’s flashy and glittery, with traces of color that complement the shades of gray, white, and blue that cover her skin and outfit.
Fortnite Christmas 2023 Skins
Holiday Boxy
Holiday Boxy doesn’t really stand out compared to other Christmas-themed skins in Fortnite, as the model is just someone wearing a bunch of Christmas boxes and wrapping. The colorful vibe does at least harness the Christmas cheer though.
Winterfest Bushranger
Bushranger has been given a Winterfest makeover with the Winterfest Bushranger skin in Fortnite, turning into a Christmas tree. Winterfest Bushranger was a solid addition, equipped with a Santa hat, gloves, candy canes, baubles, and snow.
Fortnite Christmas 2024 skins
We’ve yet to hear anything about Fortnite’s plans for Christmas 2024, though we do know the celebration will happen in the early weeks of Chapter Six—due to begin on Dec. 1, following on from Fortnite OG Chapter Two.
Not much is known about Chapter Six yet, but Winterfest 2024 will likely be the first major event in the new chapter. Details are yet to be confirmed and likely won’t be revealed until mid-December. We’ll update this article as soon as we know more.
