The Yule Logs of YouTube
The Smooth Jazz Log
Definitely not for everybody—really, really not for everybody—but if you like your Christmas carols trussed up with sexy sax and jazz guitar, there’s no better log on the internet. Extra points for realistic fire crackling noises.
The “Silence is Golden” Log
No music on this one, just five full hours of calming fireplace noises. The aural equivalent of receiving a firm but gentle scalp rub.
The Lil Bub Log
Inevitable, but cute nonetheless. We’ll allow it.

The Best Log
Subjective, of course, but other than a few weird, unexpected detours—a jazzy, saxophone-y “Carol of the Bells” cover! How?!—this is mostly just a solid hour of holiday classics, many of them sung by Frank Sinatra. Just as they should be.
