Winter is here in Forza Horizon 5, bringing a fresh selection of challenges and reward cars to win. Let’s dive in and find out what awaits you in the Forza Horizon 5 Donut Media Winter Festival Playlist.
Donut Media Winter
Forza Horizon 5 Donut Media Winter starts today (24 November) at 14:30 GMT/14:30 UTC and ends on 1 December at 14:30 GMT/14:30 UTC.
Series 14 is inspired by the automotive YouTube channel Donut Media. A new five-part Horizon Story sees you work with Donut Media’s James Pumphries and Nolan Sykes, who appear as in-game characters, to build a custom rally car.
This week’s Season Reward cars are the Ford Super Deluxe Station Wagon (20 points) and the Danish Zenvo ST1 supercar (40 points).

There’s also a new Hot Wheels Joy of Cars Seasonal Championship, which rewards you with the Morgan 3 Wheeler.
That's not all as you can also earn the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Forza Edition for completing all five chapters of the Donut Media Horizon Story.
