As is usually the case with Winterfest, there will be lots of new collaboration cosmetics in the item shop. Three entirely new collaborations have already been revealed: Harry Potter, SpongeBob Squarepants, and Bleach. Harry Potter is getting a set of generic Fortnite people wearing Hogwarts uniforms, whereas Bleach appears to include four skins based on characters from the series. We're also getting a car based on the SpongeBob Squarepants Patty Wagon, and that collab will reportedly also feature SpongeBob and Patrick as sidekicks.
