[Update]: Overcooked! 2's free Sun's Out, Buns Out update has added brand new levels and adorable canine chefs
While Overcooked! 2 already has a pretty good chunk of content to explore, I'm happy to say that the developers have decided to spice things up even further by adding a whole bunch more into the mix. The freshly added and holiday themed update brings with it five festive new levels, two new chefs in the form of Reindeer Chef and Present Head Chef, a variety of decorated enemies for the Horde Mode, and naturally, five delicious new recipes to ruin over and over again!
Best of all, the five newly added levels are inspired by the various DLC packs: one is based on Campfire Cook Off, two on Night of the Hangry Horde and two on the recently released Carnival of Chaos. So even if you don't own any of DLCs, you'll still get a pretty nice variety of locations and challenges to toy around with, all wrapped up in a bit of holiday cheer.

If you're looking for even more unique animals to research and raise, or if you're just eager to add a bit of extra chaos to your messed up Battle Royale arena, you might be interested to hear that Planet Zoo's very first DLC has now arrived. The Arctic Pack brings with it four new animals (Polar Bear, Reindeer, Arctic Wolf and Dall Sheep), over 200 new scenery pieces to toy around with, as well as two brand new scenarios set in Norway and Mexico.
Here's a brief teaser trailer showing off the adorable new animals, as well as some of the really impressive new parks you'll be able to create. Have a gander:

[Update]: Warcraft 3: Reforged has now finally been released, and it's unfortunately a bit of a mixed bag.
For those of you that were planning to actually follow through with your New Year's resolution instead of simply lazing around, I'm afraid I bring a bit of bad news. Blizzard has just announced that Warcraft 3: Reforged, a remastered version of one of the best RTS games around, will be releasing world-wide on January 28, 2020!
Warcraft 3: Reforged will bring with it remastered versions of both the Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne campaigns, improved visuals and voice acting, greatly rebalanced online play, a variety of upgrades to the matchmaking and social features, and perhaps most importantly of all, a massively enhanced World Editor tool!
Vermintide 2 beta update has added a new map and a better way to earn cosmetics

[Update]: Vermintide 2's Season 2 update has now arrived alongside a brand new map and a much better way of acquiring new cosmetics.
If you're itching for some more Vermintide 2 content, you're in luck as the beta servers have just been updated with a rather massive new patch. It has brought with it a free remastered Vermintide 1 map called Old Haunts, the ability to acquire cosmetics by collecting in-game currency, Quick Play support for the recently added Weaves game mode, and perhaps most importantly, greatly improved weapon crafting!
Speaking of the new map, simply calling it a remaster is a bit of an understatement. It contains many of the same assets and areas from Vermintide 1, but they are arranged in entirely new ways and the whole map feels like a genuinely new experience. So even if you've thoroughly explored Vermintide 1's Castle Drachenfels, the new map should still feel nice and fresh, especially given the increased enemy and boss variety.

Even though Telltale itself is gone, things are looking pretty good for most of its series. The Walking Dead's final season got finished thanks to Robert Kirkman's Skybound Games, The Wolf Among Us 2 has recently been announced as under development, and now we're getting news that Telltale's Batman series is getting a brand new edition!
The Telltale Batman Shadows Edition, besides being a somewhat poor title, is a collection of both seasons of Telltale's Batman series, along with a "Shadows Mode" that gives the games a bit of a noir aesthetic. The full version will set you back $30, while current owners will be able to purchase the Shadows Mode DLC for $5.
Don't Starve Together's Hook, Line & Inker update has brought in the holiday cheer and more monsters

[Update]: Don't Starve is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a massive bugfixing and quality-of-life focused update.
In sharp contrast to its title, Don't Starve Together's newest Hook, Line & Inker update has brought in a whole bunch of food-related content in order to help spread the holiday cheer. The ocean has been updated with a variety of new fish to catch and cook, though you will need to use the newly added sea fishing rods and tackles in order to make it happen. And naturally, once you catch a really big one, you can use the patented Fish Scale-O-Matic to make sure everyone around you knows just how absolutely amazing you truly are.
The update has also brought back Winter's Feast, which will have you chasing Gingerpigs and hunting for the physical embodiment of holiday cheer. Sounds a little bit insane, but I suppose that's par for the course with Don't Starve. On the positive side, you'll be able to use the holiday cheer to create delicious feasts for you and your friends to enjoy!

If you're in the mood to celebrate the holiday season in quite possibly the most inappropriate way possible, you're in luck as GOG is currently giving away the first two Postal games. The original Postal is free permanently and you can grab it whenever you want, while Postal 2 will only be available for free until December 18th.
Just to avoid any confusion, it is worth mentioning that claiming either copy will give you full access to it, even once the giveaway is over. You don't even need to install either of the games, simply add their keys to your GOG account and you'll be able to go on an insane rampage whenever you want.
