A massive ice block, concealing a holiday surprise, has appeared on the Fortnite Chapter 6 map! Inside lies the legendary Mariah Carey, awaiting her grand reveal. This guide shows you exactly where to find her frozen form before the thaw.

How to Locate Mariah Carey in Fortnite Chapter 6

The Winterfest update has brought a blizzard to the Battle Royale Island, blanketing much of the map in snow. Nestled within this snowy landscape, southwest of Brutal Boxcars, sits a colossal ice block on a prominent mountain—hard to miss! While it might seem like an undesirable landing spot due to limited loot (a couple of chests are present), brave players will discover their reward.

Data miners confirm that the ice encases Mariah Carey herself, gradually thawing, hinting at a major in-game event in the weeks ahead.

Mariah Carey's Fortnite Thaw: What to Expect

Fortnite has recently featured a string of musical superstars. Last season, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Ice Spice appeared as NPCs, culminating in the Remix The Finale event, which also included Juice WRLD. Now, early in Chapter 6, Fortnite continues this trend, bringing Carey's iconic holiday music to the Battle Royale.

A special Winterfest mini-event is planned, though the exact date remains undisclosed. It's likely to occur before December 25th, given the Christmas theme of Carey's most famous holiday songs. A Mariah Carey skin will also be available in the Item Shop, along with a free "All I Want for Christmas Is You" emote. Even after the event concludes, players can use the Carey skin and emote to spread festive cheer. Who could be upset about losing a match when that angelic voice emanates from the opposing team?
