With both Cataclysm and the holidays right around the corner, Blizzard has been busy posting all sorts of updates. Instead of separating them into individual articles, here's a rundown on some recent World of Warcraft news:

• BlizzCast #15 is now live and focuses on Cataclysm. The team discusses world-building, music and sound design, voice acting, and class and systems changes.
• Blizzard has kicked off its holiday contests. Submit your Blizzard-themed dessert or card by Dec. 16 for a chance to win prizes like signed collector's editions of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty and World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.
• The Darkmoon Faire promotional site has been updated with music and artwork from the WoW Trading Card Game. Both the Horde and Alliance have almost hit 80%, so expect more unlocked content in the near future. (UPDATE: The Alliance beat the Horde to 80% and unlocked more artwork.)
