Fallout Unveils Ghoul’s Twisted Christmas Fireplace With New Vegas Cameo
Fallout surprises fans with a darkly festive fireplace special starring the Ghoul and a voice cameo from New Vegas, just ahead of season 2’s debut on Prime Video. Cozy up for a holiday treat with a macabre twist and a nod to the iconic game.
Just in time for the holidays, Fallout has rolled out an unexpected Christmas fireplace special, setting the stage for the highly anticipated second season on Prime Video. The special features Walton Goggins as the Ghoul, bringing his signature dark humor to a scene that’s both unsettling and oddly comforting. Instead of a traditional yule log, the Ghoul keeps his fire burning with something far more sinister—a human arm. He settles in, warning viewers to tilt his head away from the flames if he dozes off, adding a touch of grim comedy to the festive atmosphere.
Mr. New Vegas Makes a Memorable Appearance
As the Ghoul relaxes by the fire, fans are treated to a familiar voice: Mr. New Vegas. Known to players as the artificial radio host created by Mr. House in Fallout: New Vegas, his smooth tones drift in after the Ghoul signs off. The cameo doesn’t stop there—Mr. New Vegas pops up again later in the video, so it ’s worth keeping the special playing in the background to catch every line. The combination of the Ghoul’s antics and Mr. New Vegas’s commentary creates a unique holiday ambiance, perfect for anyone looking to add a little post-apocalyptic flair to their seasonal celebrations.
Building Hype for Season 2 and a Return to Vegas
With the second season of Fallout set to premiere on December 17, excitement is building for what’s next. This time, the story is heading back to New Vegas, a location beloved by fans of the game. Executive producer Todd Howard recently shared some insight into the creative process, saying,
We sort of approach it like we do a new game, right? 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 team is focused on capturing the spirit of the original while delivering fresh twists for both longtime fans and newcomers.

Whether you’re a die-hard Fallout fan or just looking for something different to stream this holiday season, the Ghoul’s fireplace is sure to stand out.
