  • Netflix Releases ‘Fireplace For Your Home’ Trailer (Another Chromecast Yule Log Option)

    As previously reported, Google has launched a new YouTube video fireplace for Chromecast users. Netflix has actually had fireplace video content since 2010, and with Chromecast support, users of Google’s streaming device will have another option.

    Netflix has now released a trailer for “Fireplace For Your Home” making it sound like the best option yet with a 3.8-star rating and quotes like: “I cried when the fire spread to the other log” and “Guaranteed to get you to second base.”

    To get you even more pumped up, here’s a behind-the-scenes look:

    There are three episodes: Crackling Yule Log Fireplace, Crackling Fireplace and Crackling Fireplace with Music.

    For you cable subscribers, Time Warner is also bringing back its annual Yule log experience, including a web-based version.

  • Time Warner’s Yule Log Is Back, But Has Some Chromecast Competition This Year

    On Friday, we told you about Google’s YouTube Fireplace for Chromecast. It’s essentially an hour-long video of a fireplace burning with a dog sitting in a chair. Simple, but people seem to like it.

    Well, if you’re a Time Warner subscriber, you’ll have a cable alternative to Google’s fireplace with the Time Warner Yule Log. It’s been offered in the past, and is now back in SD, HD and 3D via Video On Demand. It’s also available on the web via RentMoviesOnDemand.com.

    “This smoke-free and stoke-free fireplace will warm up any holiday party when a big-screen TV is transformed into a crackling hearth with just a click of a button,” the company says. “Adding to the popular Yule Log, customers can also enjoy Winter Green, a snowy, pine forest setting and Snowman, dressed in top hat, scarf and neckerchief withstanding a windy, snowy storm. All three offerings will help viewers get into the holiday spirit, accompanied by traditional carols like Joy to the World, Hark the Herald Angels Sing and We Wish You a Merry Christmas.”

    Unfortunately, neither Google’s fireplace nor Time Warners log will keep you warm.

  • Google Gives Chromecast Users A Fireplace For The Holidays

    ‘Tis the season.

    Google has introduced the YouTube Fireplace for Chromecast, which it calls “the easiest way to get the fire going this holiday season.”

    Yep, it’s just an hour-long video of a fire burning in a fireplace. There’s also a dog sitting in a chair.

    Seeing how this is just a YouTube video, something tells me you don’t really need a Chromecast to enjoy this on your television, but either way, pour yourself an egg nog and get comfortable.
