Fortnite Red vs. Blue map hosts Christmas event with unvaulted holiday weapons

While Fortnite’s Winterfest live events wrapped up, one of the game’s most popular Creative maps, Red vs. Blue, kept the holiday spirit alive with a special Christmas celebration.

Winterfest, Fortnite’s annual holiday event, started on December 20 and runs through January 7, 2025. Highlights include themed skins like Santa Dogg, festive map changes, and even a performance from Mariah Carey singing All I Want for Christmas is You. But the holiday cheer didn’t stop with the main event. For those craving more Christmas fun, Red vs. Blue brought its own holiday madness.

This fan-favorite map, known for its fast-paced team deathmatches, was decked out with Christmas trees, snowmen, and a red-and-blue arena transformed for the occasion. At 3 p.m. EST on Christmas Day, the event kicked off, setting the stage for some chaotic, jolly mayhem. Players braced for the “Christmas Wrath,” where every holiday-themed weapon was unvaulted, adding to the excitement.

Red vs. Blue is a staple in Fortnite’s Creative mode, drawing over 100,000 concurrent players with its simple yet thrilling gameplay. This holiday update shows just how Fortnite keeps its community engaged year-round with both seasonal events and creative experiences.
