The Valheim holiday update is here, with gifts of a new armor stand and seasonal decorations for all the good little Vikings out there.

The developers at Iron Gate Studio rolled out a new update to their early access Viking survival game which includes the aforementioned items as well as some fan-requested features that should help make your base feel cozier even after you put away the Yule tree for the year.

The new armor stand allows you to display your equipment on a wooden framework: give your trusty old set of troll hide armor the pride of place it deserves in your base or mix and match between sets to create your own distinct looks. It may not be as practical as just stuffing all your unused gear in a chest, but it's definitely cooler.
