It’s that time of year again, where our collective unconscious seizes us with the desire to snuggle under festive quilts and drink candy-cane-bedazzled hot chocolate out of Santa mugs by the fire.

Thanks to the wonders of modern architecture, most of us don’t have fireplaces. We turn, then, to the next best thing: Youtube.

This leads to a host of other problems. There are approximately 70 gorillion “fireplace with Christmas music” videos on Youtube, of varying quality. When one is in the mood to snuggle up, one does not want to wade through 69 gorillion videos to find the ones that are actually viable.

My friend, your problems are solved, courtesy of my brother.

This right here is the greatest of them all:

Features:

  • Actual fire footage with a fadeout loop
  • 2 and change hours long
  • 13 different Christmas songs, on repeat (which you probably won’t notice because you’ll be paying attention to something else)
  • Excellent arrangements, both orchestral and choral
  • No horrible synthesizers
  • Fireplace sounds, including popping (with sparks) and logs shifting
  • Just fireplace, no extra “Christmas room” effects
  • Will work best in a dark room but not out of place in the daylight

Bookmark this guy and you’re all set for the next time that the snow starts falling lightly from the sky, and you happen to have a blanket and a good book at hand.

And hey, if you hate Christmas music, you could always stare intensely at a rotating pizza.
