Where to find and destroy Nutcracker statues in Fortnite

Looking for Nutcracker statues in Fortnite? You’ll need to destroy 5 of them in order to complete the Snowmando challenge and unlock the Blustery Bag back bling.

Winterfest has come to Fortnite for December 2020, and it’s given the popular battle royale game a significant overhaul for the holidays.

As well as Christmas decorations on the trees and snow covering parts of the map, there’s also a series of festive-themed Operation Snowmando challenges to complete, and finishing them all will unlock some pretty sweet cosmetics.

The challenge that launched on December 21, 2020, features the tag line “Brrr, that Crackshot gives me the Christmas creeps,” and requires players to destroy a total of five Nutcracker statutes to unlock 10,000 XP and the Blustery Bag back bling.
