Introduction
As the winter chill settles in Fortnite, players are greeted with the return of the beloved Winterfest event for 2025. This seasonal celebration brings a flurry of holiday cheer, festive quests, and exclusive rewards. While parts of the map bask in a sun-soaked California vibe, the spirit of Winterfest is alive and well, offering players the chance to earn valuable XP and unlock unique cosmetics. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about the Winterfest 2025 quests, including tips for completing them efficiently and maximizing your rewards.
Overview of Winterfest 2025 Quests
Winterfest quests are released in sets throughout the event, with each quest granting an impressive 10,000 XP. The first batch, titled Gift to the Stars, launched on December 18, 2025, followed by the Passion for Presents set, which is set to release on December 20. While only these two sets have been confirmed so far, it’s worth keeping an eye out for additional quests that may be introduced as the event progresses.
Gift to the Stars Quest Details
The Gift to the Stars quests revolve around collecting and delivering the elusive Perfect Gift, alongside engaging with the new Yule Trooper boss. Let’s break down the main objectives:
1. Collect a Perfect Gift from a Chest
- Players must locate a Perfect Gift hidden in Fortnite chests.
- These gifts can be found in both standard and rare chests scattered across the map.
- The item is marked by a distinct sparkling visual cue, but it may not appear in every chest, requiring multiple searches.
- Once obtained, the Perfect Gift must be delivered quickly to complete the quest chain.
- Completing this objective grants you 10,000 XP.
2. Deliver the Perfect Gift to an NPC
- After acquiring the Perfect Gift, players need to deliver it to one of 13 NPCs positioned around the map.
- A timer starts as soon as the item is collected, so strategizing the fastest route to the nearest NPC is essential.
- Opening nearby chests along the way can help gather additional loot before completing the delivery.
- Interacting with the NPC to hand over the gift completes the quest and awards another 10,000 XP.
3. Damage a Boss NPC
- This quest requires players to inflict damage on the Yule Trooper or any other boss currently present on the map.
- Defeating the boss is not necessary; simply landing hits during ongoing fights counts toward quest completion.
- This objective provides another 10,000 XP and encourages players to engage with Fortnite's dynamic NPC ecosystem during Winterfest.
