How to watch the new yule logs on Netflix
The new themed yule logs arrive just weeks before Christmas
To find the new yule logs on Netflix, search for "fireplace," all three should pop up with other options. You can also search for each show individually, and it'll appear, too. Squid Game's fireplace is set in the Head Man's office, while Bridgerton's is fittingly set in the Bridgerton living room. Spellbound's isn't technically a fireplace at all. Instead, it's a campfire set in the wilderness of Lumbria, the movie's fantasy kingdom.
Each of the yule logs contains Easter eggs from the series it represents. For example, in the Squid Game yule log, you can see the Head Man's green telephone to the right of the fireplace. In Bridgerton's yule log, you'll find Lady Whistledown's quill pen and a bouquet of wisteria.
The history of yule logs on TV dates back to 1966, when WPIX in New York began broadcasting its Yule Log program. It's a lovely tradition, and seeing it continue to live on six decades later is wonderful. Squid Game's Fireplace arrives ahead of the series' highly-anticipated season two premiere on December 26. If you're trying to get into the Christmas spirit, Netflix has also recently added new Hallmark Christmas movies available to watch now too.
Netflix can't handle Beyoncé
Beyoncé is performing at the halftime show of the Ravens-Texans during the NFL Christmas Gameday on Netflix, but can the service handle it?
