Blizzard EntertainmentLast year, with little fanfare, Overwatch began a holiday stream on Twitch featuring Overwatch Director Jeff Kaplan sitting in front of a fireplace for hours on end, soon, fans were hooked, and a new Overwatch holiday tradition was born.

Jeff is a face familiar to Overwatch fans because he’s does the regular Developer Updates on YouTube and has basically become a meme himself.
Earlier in the year a group of players actually petitioned to have Jeff’s face added to the game as a spray; It’s not there yet, but Overwatch has brought back Yule Log Jeff for the holidays.

Most of the stream is Jeff sitting in a leather easy chair with a plate of cookies and roaring fire crackling behind him.
He will occasionally move, last year he moved to eat a cookie and, among other things, hold up a picture of Genji that says “I need healing”, a shot that spawned a thousand memes of its own.
Jeff sat in front of the fire for about 10 hours last year, so expect a similar marathon of relaxation this year; if you miss the stream don’t worry, Overwatch should put on a replay stream for Christmas Day.

The living room setup has changed slightly, and there may be several guest appearances from Overwatch stars this year as an extra treat.
