Credible leaks about Fortnite suggest an exciting holiday treat for players: the arrival of the Christmas favorite, Mariah Carey, as a new character skin in the upcoming Winterfest event. She’ll be sporting her iconic red velvet and white fur-trimmed outfit from the “All I Want For Christmas Is You” music video. Additionally, other celebs like Snoop Dogg and Shaq are rumored to join the festive fun, each donning their own Santa-themed attire, according to the well-known Fortnite leaker, iFireMonkey.
Mariah Carey, a fresh face in the Fortnite universe, seems like the perfect fit for the Christmas season, especially considering how her famous holiday anthem becomes ubiquitous every year. Rumor has it that her character will make a grand entrance by breaking out of an ice block found on the map. This playful nod is inspired by a running gag on her YouTube channel, where she’s humorously depicted as being “frozen” until the Christmas season thaws her out.
The prospect of Mariah belting out “it’s time” in her renowned whistle register as she bursts free from the ice block is something fans can eagerly anticipate, as we all keep our fingers crossed.
