'''''The Yule Log''''' is a [[television show]] originating in the United States, which is broadcast traditionally on [[Christmas Eve]] or [[Christmas]] morning. It originally aired from 1966 to 1989 on [[New York City]] [[television station]] [[WPIX]] (channel 11), which revived the broadcast in 2001. A radio [[simulcast]] of the musical portion was broadcast by WPIX-TV's former sister station, WPIX-FM (101.9 FM, now [[WFAN-FM]]), until 1988.

The show, which has run between two and four hours in duration, is a film loop of a [[yule log]] burning in a fireplace, with a soundtrack of [[Christmas music]] playing in the background; it is broadcast without commercial interruption.
