How You Can Complete the Winter Rush Quests
To make sure you earn all nine rewards, you must follow these steps:
- Launch Fortnite, and then simply navigate to the Main Menu. Once there, choose Quests, and then select Winter Rush.
- You must party up with your friends. Most quests need you to complete XP goals while in a party.

The quests refresh daily, and by November 25, all nine should be available. This gives you plenty of time to grind and unlock your free Cuddle Team Rider skin before the Winter Rush event ends.
