Netflix presents a special variation of themed virtual yule logs that turn the traditional touch into portals that lead fans to their favorite shows. The streaming platform presents a trio of virtual fireplaces that are themed around three shows: Squid Game, Bridgerton, and Spellbound.
The Yule Log videos usually run for an hour long and it creates a crackling warm sound to imitate a fireplace along with music and other visuals that are connected to the respective series. This gives fans a new way to interact with the realm of the shows from the comforts of their own home. The Squid Game Yule log is set in the Front Man's office with props from the series. The Bridgerton fireplace brings fans right to the family's living room with background music from the series. The Spellbound Fireplace takes place in a magical wilderness environment reflecting Lumbria.
