Just when you thought Fortnite couldn’t get more festive, Mariah Carey has joined the roster during Winterfest 2024. You might have seen her thawing out of that ice block (classic Mariah winter entrance, right?), and now you can actually play as her in the game. Whether you’re a fan of her holiday hits or just looking for a cool new skin, here’s exactly how to add her to your locker.
Let’s start with the complete package. For 2,800 V-Bucks, you can get everything Mariah-related in one go – both outfits, back blings, LEGO styles, and all the extras. You’ll find it right in the Winterfest section of the Item Shop. If you’re planning to get most of the items anyway, this bundle actually saves you some V-Bucks compared to buying everything separately.
The standard version puts Mariah in that gold dress from her Emancipation of Mimi days. For 1,500 V-Bucks, you’re getting the main outfit, which you can customize a bit with two available styles (Mariah Carey and Mimi’s Emancipation), plus the Gilded Honey Wings back bling that you can adjust to match your style. They’ve also included a LEGO version for when you’re playing LEGO Fortnite, which is pretty neat.

If you’re feeling more festive, there’s the Santa Suit version at 1,500 V-Bucks. This one’s got some cool reactive effects – it actually glows gold when you’re playing, which looks especially good during night matches. It comes with the Angelic Wing back bling that you can customize, and yes, there’s a LEGO version of this one too.

Now, what’s Mariah without her signature song? The game’s got you covered there too. You can grab Mariah’s Mic as a pickaxe for 800 V-Bucks – it works with either outfit and looks exactly like you’d expect a Mariah Carey mic to look. Then there’s the All I Want For Christmas Is You emote for 500 V-Bucks, and if you want the full experience, you can also get the song as a Jam Track for another 500 V-Bucks.

You’ve got until January 1, 2025, at 8 PM Eastern Time to decide which version you want. After that, the items will rotate out, but don’t worry too much – since they’re not exclusive, they’ll probably show up in the shop again later. Both outfits work great in regular matches and LEGO mode, so you’re getting good value either way. The Santa version really shines (literally) at night, but the standard version might be more your speed if you want something you can use year-round.
Take your time picking what works for you – whether it’s the full bundle or just the parts you know you’ll use. And hey, if you grab either version, you’ll be ready for those Victory Royale celebrations with style, whether you’re building, shooting, or just vibing to All I Want For Christmas Is You in the pre-game lobby.
