Santa Sabrina is a Winterfest 2025 take on Sabrina Carpenter’s Fortnite Icon Series skin, built around a red Santa-inspired outfit and a small set of matching cosmetics. It is a paid Item Shop release rather than a free Winterfest present, so you need V-Bucks ready if you want it the day it drops.
Santa Sabrina Fortnite release time
Santa Sabrina is scheduled to go live with the regular Fortnite Item Shop refresh on December 22 as part of Winterfest 2025.
| Region | Approximate Item Shop time on Dec 22 |
|---|---|
| US Eastern (ET) | 8:00 PM |
| US Pacific (PT) | 5:00 PM |
| UK / GMT / UTC | 12:00 AM (midnight, Dec 23) |
On rare occasions, the shop rolls over an hour early for specific collaborations, but the expectation for Santa Sabrina is the standard reset window. If you log in right at reset and do not see the skin, give the game a minute or two and restart the client if needed, so the store can update.
How to get Santa Sabrina in Fortnite
Santa Sabrina is an Icon Series Item Shop cosmetic, not a quest reward or tournament prize. You unlock it by purchasing it for V-Bucks once it appears in the shop.
Step 1: Launch Fortnite and switch to the Battle Royale or Festival lobby so you can access the Item Shop. Creative-only lobbies sometimes delay the store panel from loading correctly.
Step 2: Open the Item Shop from the main navigation bar. Wait for the store panels to finish loading; this can take a few seconds when a new collaboration lands.
Step 3: Scroll through the Featured section. Santa Sabrina is expected to sit in a prominent Winterfest or Icon Series block. There should also be a dedicated Icon Series tab where the Santa ’Brina bundle is grouped with other Icon cosmetics.
Step 4: Select either the standalone Santa Sabrina skin or the Santa ’Brina Bundle and confirm the purchase using V-Bucks. Once the transaction completes, the skin and any included cosmetics are added to your locker.
Step 5: Go to your Locker, equip the Santa Sabrina outfit, and apply any matching back bling, emote, or jam track you unlocked with it to finish the set.
Santa Sabrina price and bundle options
Santa Sabrina is sold both on its own and inside a small Winterfest-themed Icon bundle.
| Item | Contents | Price (V-Bucks) |
|---|---|---|
| Santa Sabrina (skin only) | Santa Sabrina Carpenter outfit | 1,500 |
| Santa ’Brina Bundle | Skin plus matching cosmetics | 2,400 |
Buying the skin alone is the cheapest way to get the outfit into your locker. The Santa ’Brina bundle costs more upfront but folds in extra cosmetics that cannot be earned through Winterfest presents or quests. If you already own the original Sabrina Carpenter skin from earlier in Chapter 7, any dynamic bundle pricing will reduce the cost of overlapping items automatically in the shop.
All cosmetics in the Santa ’Brina bundle
Santa Sabrina is part of a compact Winterfest Icon set that leans into the Christmas theme both visually and musically. The bundle is built around four items:
- Santa Sabrina Carpenter skin – a festive, Santa-themed variant of Sabrina’s Icon Series outfit, treated as an edit style relative to the original gold look.
- Winterfest Sack back bling – a holiday bag cosmetic designed to sit behind the outfit and match the red Santa palette.
- Manchild Jam Track – a licensed track usable in Fortnite Festival and supported modes.
- Manchild emote – an Icon Series emote that ties into the same song, giving you an in-match way to reference the track.
The jam track and emote are tied directly to Santa Sabrina’s Icon treatment and are not included in the Winterfest lodge presents list. If you want the complete musical pairing for Sabrina in both Battle Royale and Festival, the bundle is the route that consolidates everything under one purchase.
Santa Sabrina vs. the original Sabrina Carpenter skin
Santa Sabrina is not just a color swap of the original Sabrina Carpenter Icon outfit. It is presented as a distinct, Santa-themed take that emphasizes red holiday styling instead of the earlier gold-heavy look introduced alongside Fortnite Festival.
The key differences are visual and seasonal rather than mechanical: there are no gameplay advantages or special abilities on either version. Both remain purely cosmetic. Santa Sabrina’s main value is aesthetic, especially if you want your locker to match the Winterfest 2025 map, snow, and cabin decorations.
Within the cosmetics menu, Santa Sabrina behaves as a separate entry or edit style tied to Sabrina Carpenter, which lets you swap between her regular and Santa looks without hunting through an entirely different section of your locker.
Is Santa Sabrina free during Winterfest 2025?
Santa Sabrina is not part of the free Winterfest 2025 lodge gifts. The Winterfest presents cover a fixed set of items such as pickaxes, back blings, a couple of outfits, emotes, a contrail, and a jam track themed around the event, but Santa Sabrina sits firmly in the paid Item Shop rotation.
The only way to unlock Santa Sabrina during Winterfest is to spend V-Bucks in the Item Shop once the outfit and bundle go live. There are no associated quests, map challenges, or tournament placements that grant the skin outright.
Winterfest still offers plenty of no-cost unlocks alongside Santa Sabrina, including seasonal rewards and the broader set of holiday skins rotating through the shop. Santa Sabrina simply joins that lineup as one of the marquee collaborations for December 22.
Once Santa Sabrina lands in the shop, the window to grab her will likely line up with the broader Winterfest schedule, which runs into early January 2026. If you miss the initial appearance, keep an eye on the Featured and Icon Series sections on later days in case the bundle cycles back before the event wraps.
