Angelenos hoping to open presents by a roaring fire on a chilly Christmas morning this year are out of luck. The weather’s cold enough, but local air quality officials on Christmas Eve put in place a no-burn order for the non-desert portions of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, and
all of Orange County.
Luckily, we have the internet, and there are a plethora of virtual options.
The original, of course, is the WPIX Yule Log, a three-hour-long loop of a 17-second-long film of a roaring fireplace at Gracie Mansion, the New York City mayor’s residence that first aired on Christmas Eve on 1966. For those the in the tri-state area, the station will air the 1970 version of its Yule Log from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on on Christmas Day. For those whoo want the 1966 original, WPIX will air that footage from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. It can also be streamed during those same windows here.
A YouTube version of the 1970 footage is embedded below.
Among the most popular options is Netflix’s Fireplace for Your Home. First launched in 2011, the offering includes a trio of fireplace episodes, created by George Ford, can now be viewed in vivid 4K Ultra HD. The three original 60-minute videos offer slightly different atmospheres: Cracking Yule Log Fireplace, which includes music such as “Joy to the World” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”; Cracking Fireplace, which eschews music; and Crackling Fireplace with Music, for a more neutral cheer. Stream them here.
