You read that right: a giant block of ice is on the Fortnite Chapter 6 map, and it houses one of the greatest Christmas artists of all time. However, the game doesn’t make its location obvious. So, here’s where to find frozen Mariah Carey in Fortnite before she thaws out.
How To Find Mariah Carey in Fortnite Chapter 6
The Winterfest Fortnite update brings a festive layer of snow to the Battle Royale Island. A significant portion of the map is blanketed in white, and right in the center of it all, you'll find a colossal block of ice. It's located southwest of Brutal Boxcars, perched on a mountain that's hard to overlook. Although it might not be the best spot to land at the start due to the scarcity of loot, those brave enough to venture there first can discover a couple of chests.
Fortnite leakers are confident that one of the most iconic musicians of recent decades, Mariah Carey, is encased within. As she slowly thaws out, it sets the stage for a major event on the Fortnite map in the coming weeks.

What Happens When Mariah Carey Thaws Out in Fortnite?
Fortnite has been increasingly featuring musicians in its gameplay. Last season saw Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Ice Spice as NPCs on the map, culminating in the Remix The Finale event, which also included a performance by Juice WRLD. Now, just a few weeks into Chapter 6, Fortnite is tapping into this trend again, with Carey set to perform her iconic holiday tunes in Battle Royale.
A mini-event is planned during Winterfest, though the specific date remains undisclosed. Given that Carey's most renowned holiday songs celebrate Christmas, it's safe to assume the event will occur before December 25th. Alongside the event, Carey will have a dedicated skin available in the Item Shop, and players can obtain the "All I Want for Christmas Is You" Emote for free. Even after the event concludes, players can continue to embody Carey and spread holiday cheer across the map. Who could complain about losing a game when serenaded by such an angelic voice from the opposing team?
