'The Sims 4' DLC release date, news: 'Holiday Celebration Pack' update announced; what's new

The recently announced "Vintage Glamour Stuff Pack" will not be the only downloadable content (DLC) to look forward to this December for "The Sims 4."

The month will not be complete without Christmas festivities so fans can expect an updated version of the "Holiday Celebration Pack" this month.

Electronic Arts (EA) and Maxis are adding a slew of new holiday-themed items to the said "The Sims 4" DLC starting with a new Holiday Cracker sculpture.

This new item is more than just a decoration (and a boost to the Playful aura) as the Sims can actually interact with it and each time will likely end differently for each Sim.

The Sims will get the chance to find a candy inside it, which will improve their mood when they eat it, but the finds inside the Holiday Cracker sculpture are not always sweet.

If Sims accidentally break what's in it, they will find for themselves scrap upgrade parts instead. Sometimes, the Holiday Cracker will leave "The Sims 4" players empty handed when they are unlucky.

The best gift that the Holiday Cracker from the updated "Holiday Celebration Pack" DLC players can score is one of eight new collectibles.

These new items come in the form of plushies with various themes, which fans will find out for themselves when they interact with the Holiday Cracker.

In addition to the Holiday Cracker, "The Sims 4" players can also get new candles and fireplace garlands to get themselves into the holiday spirit.

Players can get all that and the original content including the ugly sweaters and other holiday-themed garb and decors by downloading "The Sims 4: Holiday Celebration Pack" here.

The new "Vintage Glamour Stuff Pack," which will give players the ability to hire a butler and acquire the classy (and sort-of child-friendly) vanity table, will be available on Dec. 6.
