Fallout Surprises Fans with Ghoul Christmas Fireplace Special
Prime Video releases an unexpected holiday treat featuring Walton Goggins' Ghoul character and a special voice cameo from the beloved Fallout: New Vegas radio host ahead of the highly anticipated second season.
Prime Video has caught fans off guard with an unexpected holiday surprise - a Christmas fireplace special starring Walton Goggins' memorable Ghoul character from the hit Fallout series. The twisted holiday treat arrives just before the second season launches, offering viewers a darkly humorous take on traditional Christmas content.
The special presents Goggins' Ghoul in his typical sardonic style, casually explaining how he's managed to get a fire started using a human arm instead of traditional firewood. After making this grim revelation, the character settles in for some relaxation, asking viewers to adjust his head position if he dozes off too close to the flames.
New Vegas Radio Host Makes Surprise Appearance
What makes this holiday special particularly exciting for longtime fans is the inclusion of Mr. New Vegas, the artificial radio personality created by the enigmatic Mr. House in the beloved game. This synthetic DJ served as the voice of New Vegas radio throughout the game, providing commentary and music to players exploring the wasteland.
The radio host's voice appears multiple times throughout the fireplace video, not just during the Ghoul's introduction but at various points as the special continues. Fans are encouraged to let the entire video play in the background to catch all of Mr. New Vegas' commentary, making it perfect ambient entertainment during holiday gatherings.
Season Two Brings New Vegas to the Forefront
This special serves as more than just holiday entertainment - it's a clear signal that New Vegas will play a major role in the upcoming second season. Todd Howard recently discussed the challenges of bringing this beloved game location to television, explaining their approach.
'We sort of approach it like we do a new game, right?' Howard explained. 'Like, hey, we're starting fresh, and okay, we're going back to Vegas. Number one, we've got to honor the journey that every player had there, and maneuvering that is tricky.'
The second season is set to premiere on December 17, giving fans just enough time to enjoy this macabre Christmas content before diving into new episodes. The fireplace special is available for viewing on both YouTube and Prime Video, ensuring easy access for all fans looking to add some wasteland atmosphere to their holiday celebrations.
