The challenge to smash white presents is no longer active in Forza Horizon 5 and white presents no longer spawn in the map. Should they return, we’ll update this guide.
Continuing the Christmas theme of Series 2, Forza Horizon 5 introduced a new festival collectible for you to find during the Winter season: white presents.
While gift piles could be found throughout the various towns and cities across the map, but for a specific challenge in the Series 2 playlist, you had to find special white presents stacked up in Festival locations. These range from the seaside towns near Mexico’s beaches to the open plains of the desert.
Despite sounding like a straightforward challenge, there were still some questions around how many you need to smash and whether or not these piles of white presents appear at every Festival site. After exploring in our favorite present-pummeling car, we found the best locations to find them.
Forza Horizon 5 White Present locations
Forza Horizon 5’s white presents could be found at all six Festival sites across Mexico. In order to complete the challenge, you will need to drive through 25 stacks of presents which should only mean visiting two or three Festival locations.
These stacks of white presents are pretty impossible to miss – they stand out like a sore thumb, and are mostly found clustered in the central areas of a Horizon Festival site.
Below you can find each of the Festival locations in Forza Horizon 5:
Horizon Rush Outpost
The Horizon Rush Outpost can be found in the north of the map, above Guanajuato.
Horizon Street Scene Festival
The Horizon Street Scene Festival is found in the centre of the map, just east of El Estadio Horizon.
Horizon Apex Festival
The Horizon Apex Festival is along the east coast of Mexico.
Horizon Wilds Festival
The Horizon Wilds Festival can be found in the south of Mexico, just south-west of Gran Pantano.
Horizon Festival Mexico
The Horizon Festival Mexico can be found at Baja California and is the main Festival location for Forza Horizon 5.
Horizon Baja Festival
The Horizon Baja Festival can be found on the western coast of Mexico and Dunas Blancas.
You should only need to visit three Festival locations as there is more than enough spread around throughout each Festival Site.
