Internet Yule Log videos have become a normal part of the holidays. If you’re having a holiday party, why not put a crackling fire up on your tv screen. If you’re enjoying an evening by yourself wrapping presents or reading a good book – the same thing applies.
Some folks go for the traditional video – beautiful fire, solid sound mixing of flames burning and wood popping and crackling – you can almost feel the warmth and it is for sure relaxing.
But this is Geek Girl Authority! So, we put in the research to find the geekiest, funniest and/or the most delightful fireplace yule logs. Enjoy our new list, plus we have our favorites from years past.

Watch This Yule Log Burn in the Name of Science
This one from Atlas Obscura is pretty interesting. It’s not really a “relax and sip cocoa” video but it’s pretty hypnotic. Here’s the description, “…set to a carefully chosen soundtrack—shows various kinds of experiments conducted at the Fire Sciences Laboratory of the U.S. Forest Service’s Rocky Mountain Research Station in Missoula, Montana, just in time for the holiday season.” You can even go to the page and it gives you time stamps to explain what experiment they are doing.
