Another Fortnite event is just a few hours away! This time, you will be able to watch it in a different way. For the first time, a Christmas event will be held in Fortnite. Much like other live events, it will only happen once. Due to this, make sure you log in a few minutes before it begins or you might miss it.

This event is different because it was made by a Fortnite creator, not Epic Games. However, we still expect an amazing experience. Considering that this will be the first such event in the game, you should try to get on and see how you like it.

How to watch the Fortnite Christmas event

The upcoming event will be available on the Crazy Red vs. Blue Creative map. The easiest way to watch it is by opening the search menu and typing the code. While waiting for the event, you can play against other players and compete. Getting eliminations will result in XP, which will help you level up and finish the Battle Pass.

The event begins at 3 PM Eastern Time, so make sure to log in at least 20 minutes earlier. Considering that this is not a live event in Fortnite Battle Royale, we don’t expect servers to be overloaded. However, you should get in a bit earlier in case that matchmaking takes longer than expected.
