Christmas is finally here, and you're more than likely reading this article with your feet up, something alcoholic in hand, getting ready to become increasingly frustrated by your elderly relatives as they struggle to understand the rules of the board game you've set up. That's the typical Christmas experience anyway, but have you ever wondered how your favorite party of adventurers would spend Christmas if it was a thing in Baldur's Gate 3.
Thankfully, you don't need to wonder any longer, as Larian recently released a new short via its official Twitter account, in which we see what Karlach, Lae'zel, Wyll, Shadowheart, Gale, and Astarion would get up to if they got a moment to themselves for the holiday season. It's voiced by the amazing cast of the game, and starts with the crew enjoying some peace and quiet in a local tavern.
Astarion is relaxing with a bottle of "vintage red", and Karlach is completely passed out with a barrel of booze in her hands. Very on point so far. There's also Shadowheart trying to solve her artifact like it's Rubix Cube, Gale and his double tucking into a magical boot, and Lae'zel enjoying a pint next to a skeleton called Geoff, presumably because he asked her to "Please Wrap It Up" one too many times.
Wyll then busts down the door and forces the crew on a new quest, in which they meet an elf trapped in a blizzard that looks a lot like Santa Claus. To reward them for their bravery, this elf allows the party to take an item out of his massive sack, which Santa claims will give each member of the party their truest heart's desire.
Not convinced by this stranger's show of generosity, Lae'zel succeeds in a Perception check and notices fresh footprints, implying that people have been there recently and Santa isn't actually stranded. In true Baldur's Gate 3 fashion, things take an immediate turn for the grim, and the party discover a bunch of half-eaten elves tucked behind Santa's sleigh. There you go, Santa's now a cannibal.
After beating Santa to pulp, they all return to the tavern and try out their gifts that they presumably stole from a now deceased Santa. Shadowheart uncovers a giant Xbox Series X that Karlach bites and blows up, and the story ends there, everyone enjoying their Christmas together. It's a fun little video full of references to the game and other properties, so it's well worth a watch if you're waiting for your Christmas dinner to finish cooking. Happy holidays!

Michael De Santa is one of the most fully fleshed out characters in the Grand Theft Auto franchise. A former crook who feels disconnected from his spoiled, wealthy family, Michael struggles with a desire to relive his ‘glory days’ and finding peace and solace with his estranged loved ones. As relatable as Michael’s story can be at some points, it’s hard to see him as a good person, though one can believe he is trying to become one.
GTA 5's Michael reckons GTA 6's tone looks like it's hitting a blend of the fourth and fifth games in Rockstar's series.
Jack Black is playing Steve in the live-action Minecraft movie – and we're not kidding.
The gaming world is buzzing with anticipation as Rockstar Games teases fans with the prospect of GTA 6. Since the release of the first official trailer, enthusiasts have been engrossed in a debate about the identity of Lucia, one of the game's protagonists. This trend mirrors the past excitement when fans swiftly identified Ned Luke as Michael De Santa in GTA 5 shortly after its trailer release. The biggest mystery surrounds the Lucia voice in GTA 6
@Jimmer-jammer @colonelkilgore @Th3solution Alright bros. Hope you had Good Christmas Days. Have anything particularly nice to eat or drink? I had a version of Death by Chocolate to drink and Jerk Chicken from a London restaurant, rice and peas, coleslaw and everything. Unusual I know but yeah, it tasted great. Hope you got good Christmas presents as well, and I trust you bestowed the appropriate gifts on your friends and loved ones. I posted a 'Dark Souls Christmas' thing above somewhere that you may have seen. Santa cosplay, lol.
It’s been three weeks and change since Rockstar Games played Santa Claus by giving everyone their first look at Grand Theft Auto 6 ahead of its vague 2025 release date. In that time, thirsty fans have watched the record-setting trailer more than 160 million times, which was apparently more than enough research to recreate the video in just about every game, style, and format under the sun.
"How do I get a single point?" CoffeeAndPistachios asked the Steam subreddit, attaching a screenshot of their 68,999 balance. We all know why they wanted that 'nice' number, but that would mean buying a game for one penny. After scrolling through an endless abyss of free-to-play games, I couldn't find such a title. Luckily, CoffeeAndPistachios didn't have to suffer that unending tedium of scrolling.
Fullmetal Alchemist Mobile did not survive the holidays and has released an End of Service notice on their Twitter. Maybe the game didn’t behave and ended up on Santa’s naughty list hence this dampening announcement.
Between the Hallmark rom-coms, the litany of Peanuts specials, and all those films with a goofy guy who must do something to save Christmas, media becomes inundated with fluff as we enter the holiday season. Sifting through the stew can be difficult when not limited by the confines of television schedules. Before, a somewhat unknown IP would be discovered simply because it was what was on TV.
Samtsirhc Yrrem! As they say during the festive season in Gloomwood's Mirror Realm. Actually, I imagine they say things like «What was that?» followed by «Argh!» much as they do in regular Gloomwood. What is the Mirror Realm, you ask? Why, it's part of Gloomwood's just arrived Christmas update, which adds bugfixes, new areas, and a whole host of festive doohickies alongside mysterious alternate dimensions.
Krampus, the festive goat demon who terrorized Call of Duty players two winters ago, has returned to Warzone.
