If you're not in the holiday spirit yet (despite Christmas only being about two weeks away), then Terraria's latest update may unleash your festive cheer.

If you head into the game and chop down a tree, there's a chance that it will drop a Christmas ornament. It's not too exciting in itself, but this ornament is your key to unlock Terraria's hidden Christmas-themed world.

First, you'll need to use the ornament to summon a pet called Elfa. If you then create a brand new world once Elfa has been summoned, you have the chance to unlock a whole load more festive pets.

The mobs, or enemies, on the game may sometimes drop presents for you upon being killed. It seems even evil has a generous side, given the season.
