Larian Studios has delighted Baldur’s Gate 3 fans with a special Christmas short, offering a glimpse into how the game’s beloved characters celebrate the holiday season. Released via Larian’s official Twitter account, the short features Karlach, Lae’zel, Wyll, Shadowheart, Gale, and Astarion enjoying some festive downtime in a local tavern.

The video captures the essence of each character, with Astarion sipping “vintage red,” Karlach passed out with a barrel of booze, and Shadowheart attempting to solve an artifact like a Rubix Cube. The festivities take an unexpected turn when Wyll bursts in, leading the party on a quest involving an elf trapped in a blizzard resembling Santa Claus.

To reward the party for their bravery, Santa allows them to choose an item from his sack, promising to fulfill their truest heart’s desire. However, a keen Perception check by Lae’zel reveals fresh footprints and a dark twist—the party discovers half-eaten elves behind Santa’s sleigh, turning the cheerful scenario into a grim encounter.

After a fierce battle, the party returns to the tavern with their stolen gifts, and the story concludes with each character enjoying their unique presents. The video is a delightful mix of humor, references to the game, and unexpected plot twists, making it a must-watch for fans during the holiday season.
