(Description from iN DEMAND)

The televised Yule Log on digital cable (pictured below) is back this year in SD, HD and once again in 3D via free Video On Demand (VOD).

This smoke-free and stoke-free fireplace will warm up any holiday party when a big-screen TV is transformed into a crackling hearth. It is available via VOD with just a click of a button for digital cable subscribers on Xfinity, Cox Communications, Cablevision, Time Warner Cable, Bright House Networks, Cablevision, Metrocast, Bresnan and RCN. The holiday gift to subscribers is available now and airs until Jan. 2, 2014. (See list below of exact locations on system lineups.)

For the digital version, viewers can light up the Yule Log on any computer or mobile device simply by clicking on: rentmoviesondemand.com/yulelog. While the virtual hearth is burning, they can also browse through the hottest movies available instantly via cable’s Movies On Demand (MOD).

Adding to the familiar Yule Log on cable, program distributor iN DEMAND also provides Winter Green, a snowy, pine forest setting and Snowman, dressed in top hat, scarf and neckerchief withstanding a windy, snowy storm. (Winter Green and Snowman are not available in 3D.)

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.”

iN DEMAND first produced the high definition version starting in 2002 for its then linear channel INHD, and then premiered it on Video On Demand starting in 2007. The 3D version, which started in 2010, is originally produced exclusively for cable by iN DEMAND using the latest 3D technology. To see the 3D version, viewers need a 3D TV with compatible 3D glasses and an HD set-top box connected according to their system’s specs.
