Epic Games is known for their nearly unmatched pacing of updates for Fortnite, and for Christmas this year, the company's flagship game rolled out holiday cheer in a variety of forms. 

The legendary Smörgåsbord Llama will be given to any player who visits the shop in Fortnite's 'Save the World' mode. In addition, Fortnite has continued to roll out a series of holiday-themed cosmetics. The Shiver Outfit and Shiver Pickaxe are the most recently released downloadable Fortnite cosmetics for the winter months.

The Snowy Pickaxe can also be unlocked using presents as part of Fortnite's holiday rewards program, and the Shockwave Grenade that defined Fortnite pvp combat in late Chapter 1 has been unvaulted for Christmas day only as part of Fortnite Winterfest.

In addition to the holiday festivities in the form of new comestic downloads, temporary unvaultings of legacy weapons, and present-based in-game rewards, Epic Games is also turning up the heat on the competitive aspects of Fortnite during the cold winter season.

The Fortnite Winter Royale has been an immensely popular competitive event, and has driven an influx of players to the duo arenas mode, which led to an increase in seeds and prize pool for more players to potentially win big.
