When the cold season comes, you want to wrap yourself in a warm blanket, take a cup of hot cocoa, grab your favorite treats and plunge into the cozy world of video games. Many developers create winter add-ons to bring the atmosphere of holidays and winter mood to games. We have selected interesting DLCs that are worth trying this winter. Let’s go!
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Hearthfire
Although Hearthfire has been out for a long time, its winter atmosphere perfectly complements the world of Skyrim. You can build your own house in the snowy lands, adopt children and create a cozy nest. Add to this the harsh climate and snowstorms – and you get the perfect winter atmosphere for adventures. This DLC is especially suitable for those who want to immerse themselves in a leisurely, almost meditative life in cold and snowy regions. In addition, building a house and decorating it provides a unique gaming experience that adds even more depth to the game. After all, Dovahkiin has to rest sometimes, right?

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Blood and Wine
Although Blood and Wine takes place in sunny Toussaint, the contrast between the warm atmosphere of the add-on and the cold winter outside creates an unusual effect. This DLC offers dozens of hours of content, a new story, and the opportunity to relax at a picturesque winery. If you think this is a rather strange choice for the selection, then we hasten to remind you that Toussaint is a wine principality! So warm yourself a mug of mulled wine, make a small cozy light and go with Geralt and Regis on knightly exploits. You will not regret it!

Stardew Valley – Winter Season Update
Although not a separate DLC, the winter season in Stardew Valley is worth your attention.

Winter in the game also provides the opportunity to engage in other activities such as: ice fishing and working in the greenhouse. This significantly diversifies the usual farming routine!
