Note: We have found more Yule Log gems as the season has progressed. We’ve added them below. There’s definitely more than 19 now so don’t think we’re bad at math!
It’s that Yule Log video time of year! I, myself, like to put a different Yule Log on my television screen each evening. Depending on my mood, I may play a classic fireplace scene, a nerdy, genre-laden fireplace scene, or a fireplace crackling to the songs of one of my favorite bands.
With so many creative and fun videos out there, we’ve put together a list of favorites. Some are new and some are so good that we have to have them on our Yule Log list every year. To fit any mood, we’ve included videos where the Yule Log exudes warmth with the sounds of wood popping and crackling, ones that will tickle your geeky bone, ones that will make you sing, and ones that will give you a giggle.
Let’s start with some geeky fireplaces!
