"Festive" from Fortnite on Nearly Every Platform Except Apple
Composer: Unknown
Album: No Official Release
Publisher: Epic Games
Developer: Epic Games
The "Festive" music was featured during Season 7 (Chapter 1) of Fortnite between December 2018 and February 2019 and like all (at the time) in-game music, would play while you were in the lobby choosing your character skin loadout, buying cosmetic skins, deciding which game mode to play, or waiting to be pulled from your menu into the waiting island before taking off into the main game. The music premiered during Fortnite's first Christmas/Winter event and has all of the hallmarks of a Christmas song. There is the wind sound effect, the chimes, the harp, the jingly bells, the dramatic and cheesy Hallmark Channel strings that start playing. You can almost pinpoint which Christmas song it sounds like but then the thought is gone when you are about to name it, always evasive. I still cannot think of which song between 1940 and 1960 this song specifically sounds like but I am sure that it is there. There are hints of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and possibly "It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas," with just a sprinkle of "Jingle Bells," or something similar.
My Christmas 2018 was spent in a snow covered and fully heated cabin on the edge of the San Bernardino National Forest, and while I only spent three days there (Big Brother tracks me), there are few other places I would rather be, so I have oodles of good feelings and memories about Christmas 2018 when I hear this song.
And as possibly cheesy and cringey that we are using music from Fortnite (again), to each their own. So there.
