The Definitive List Of Yule Log Fireplace Videos To Binge-Watch This Winter
It’s not really the holiday season until one of these long-ass videos of a virtual fireplace is on in the background.
Instrumental Christmas Music with Crackling Fireplace | Christmas Ambience 24/7
A classic Yule log fireplace video. The combination of instrumental Christmas music, crackling fire sounds, and the fact that this video is technically a “live stream” that started on October 21, 2021 and has been available 24/7 (24 hours, 7 days a week) ever since, makes this one a must-watch. Not to mention the full soundtrack by Cozy Rain. Not sure how they managed to make that happen. If you like ambiance — yeah just, like, any kind of ambiance — run, don’t walk to this video.
Fireplace 10 hours full HD
This one kind of speaks for itself. A no-frills, down-to-earth fireplace to enjoy for a full 10 hours, or to play on a loop for eternity. Not my favorite on the list, but I could see some people resonating with it, which is why I included it. Good if you’re a gruff man who has trouble expressing himself or just, like, really boring. HD.
Christmas Fireplace Scene with Crackling Fire Sounds (6 hours)
3:50:43–4:22:33. Enough said.
🔥 4K Fireplace Ambience (No Music 24/7). Fireplace with Burning Logs and Crackling Fire Sounds
I know, I know, this one’s a bit out there. It’s for the eccentrics among us, I suppose. But if you’re the type of person who, like me, has grown to hate music recently in a way that can only be described as “alarming” — this Yule log is for you. “No Music 24/7” extends beyond just Yule log YouTube live streams — it’s a lifestyle, sweetie. The “Some Music 24/7” fanboys are going to tear me apart for this one, but I stand by it.
✰ 8 HOURS ✰ Christmas FIREPLACE ✰ ACOUSTIC GUITAR ♫ ☆ Christmas Music Instrumental ♫ Yule LOG
WARNING: Do NOT watch if you’re in a questionable place emotionally. This one fucked me up.
2 Hours of The Best Classic Christmas Songs with fireplace and beautiful background
The beautiful background is what really elevates this particular Yule log fireplace video. I mean, if it was just, “2 Hours of The Best Classic Christmas Songs with fireplace” there’s no way this video would’ve made the list — I’m not insane. But the gorgeous, breath-taking, and — dare I say — beautiful background pushed it over the edge. What can I say? I’m a sucker for all things beautiful and all things background.
4K UHD 10 hours — Christmas Log Cabin Fireplace & Crackling Audio — relaxing, warm, calming
Some of you might already know this about me, but for those who don’t, I am very big into all things relaxing, warm, and calming. So, I obviously was thrilled when I stumbled across this specific Yule log fireplace video on YouTube. I guess if I had a bone to pick about this one, though, it’s just that the 4K UHD definition makes this fireplace look almost too realistic. Every time I watch it, I experience severe spacial amnesia, coupled with some mild confusion and profuse sweating. It leaves me wondering, “Am I in a charming Christmas Log Cabin on the outskirts of Surrey or my 400-square-foot apartment in Queens?” The 4K UHD makes it literally impossible to tell.
Wood Burning Fireplace // No Music, No Loops, No Ads, New Logs, and High Quality Sound.
You had me at “No Music.” And then again at “New Logs.” More people should be talking about the troubling “old log” usage that has become standard in both HD and 4K Yule log looping videos. We’re better than that, people.
Bright Burning Yule Log Fireplace with Crackling Fire Sounds (HD)
This one is going to be controversial. I can already feel the comments pouring in — asking how the hell this one made the cut over “Super Relaxing Fireplace Sounds 🔥 Cozy Crackling Fire 🔥 (NO MUSIC)” or, even, “9 HOURS Christmas Fireplace Scene with Snow and Crackling Fire Sounds”. Believe me, it was a tough choice. A near impossible one, actually. I found myself so torn that I had to turn to the comment sections of these videos to be the determining factor. In the end, comments like “Wonderful!” and “the best” and “so nice. I like it.” earned “BBYLFwCFS (HD)” a spot on the list.
Merry Christmas Fireplace Scene with Soft Crackling Fire Sounds 4K
Now, this one holds a special place in my heart. While, upon first glance, “Merry Christmas Fireplace Scene with Soft Crackling Fire Sounds 4K” seems like your average, run-of-the-mill seasonal Yule log fireplace YouTube video; to me, it is so much more. I’ll be the first to admit I might be a little biased about this one, but if you are among those of us who believe holiday Yule log fireplace live streams are an art form, then you must also believe that this one is the Mona Lisa. Ever since I was a child, it has been a tradition in my family to play this 4 hour video during the holidays. For as long as I can remember, this video has set the scene for everything from full-blown, explosive family fights on Christmas Eve to personal, petty disagreements.
However you celebrate, we can all agree that it’s not really the holiday season until one of these long-ass videos of a virtual fireplace is on in the background.
