There Is Now a ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Yule Log

Imagine demons cooking over a fire, playful ‘Saja Boys’ playfully tugging at your nose, a girl group singing Christmas songs, and people wearing strange blue tiger costumes. That’s the scene!

Many families have unique holiday traditions, and a surprisingly popular one – especially for those without fireplaces – is watching “The Yule Log,” a TV program that simply shows a looping video of a crackling fire.

I remember when this whole trend started back in 1966 on New York’s WPIX – a simple fireplace on TV! Now, it’s everywhere you look, from regular television to all corners of the internet and streaming services. It’s almost comical how popular it’s become. Netflix, of all places, currently boasts a whopping 15 different “fireplace” programs! Some are just classic, cozy scenes, but others are really clever, themed around their big shows. You can find fireplaces inspired by worlds like The Witcher, the intensity of Squid Game, the spooky vibes of Wednesday, and even the romance of Bridgerton. It’s a surprisingly diverse collection!

Considering it was the most popular movie of 2025, even becoming Google’s top search trend for films that year, it’s not surprising that a KPop Demon Hunters holiday special is now available.

Netflix describes the show as a visually and aurally captivating experience, with a rising and falling ‘golden soundtrack’ accompanying the animated purple flames of Gwi-Ma. Essentially, it’s an hour-long animated spectacle. Some parts are presented with no dialogue, just the sounds of a fireplace, while others feature instrumental versions of songs from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack.

This isn’t quite as captivating as the complete movie, but if you have fans of KPop Demon Hunters in your family who want a fun, holiday-themed experience and to feel like they’re contributing to something good, it’s worth checking out for a few minutes this holiday season.

Cozy and Nostalgic Movies About Family

Meet the Parents

Ben Stiller’s 2000 comedy, Meet the Parents, perfectly captures the chaos of meeting your future in-laws. The film follows a young man visiting his girlfriend’s family for the first time during a wedding, and it’s full of funny misunderstandings and classic family mayhem. While he tries to make a good impression, the protagonist finds himself constantly challenged by his girlfriend’s overprotective and suspicious father, brilliantly played by Robert De Niro. Despite the awkwardness, the movie feels warm and inviting thanks to its cozy Long Island setting, fall atmosphere, and relatable themes about family. (Let’s face it, we’ve all been in Greg’s shoes!)

Father of the Bride

“Father of the Bride” is a feel-good movie that’s ideal for watching with the whole family. The 1991 film humorously and touchingly portrays a father’s difficulty accepting his daughter is growing up as she plans her wedding – a situation many parents can relate to. Steve Martin is wonderfully funny and heartwarming as the father, and Diane Keaton brings a soothing presence as the supportive mother. With its charming early ’90s vibe and heartfelt story, it’s a comforting and nostalgic film to revisit again and again.

Uncle Buck

Few things are as comforting as watching John Candy at his best. While Planes, Trains & Automobiles is often considered his signature fall movie, Uncle Buck from 1989 is another wonderfully cozy choice – like a warm hug on a cold night. The film centers on a carefree bachelor unexpectedly tasked with looking after his nieces and nephew (and it’s a treat to see a young Macaulay Culkin!). It’s hilariously chaotic as Uncle Buck tries to handle the responsibilities, but the movie’s heartwarming story, endearing characters, and nostalgic 80s vibe always leave you feeling good inside.

The Parent Trap

This heartwarming 1998 Disney remake of The Parent Trap centers around the importance of family. Lindsay Lohan shines as identical twins Hallie and Annie, who meet at summer camp and hatch a plan to bring their divorced parents back together. Filled with ’90s charm and a cozy setting – from camp to a vineyard and stylish outfits – The Parent Trap is a delightful and feel-good movie for the whole family.

Cheaper by the Dozen

Raising a family is always a bit chaotic, but the Baker family in the 2003 film Cheaper by the Dozen takes it to a whole new level with their twelve energetic kids! The movie follows Steve Martin and Helen Hunt as a loving couple juggling a new home, career changes, and the challenges of raising such a large family. For many who grew up in the late 90s and early 2000s, Cheaper by the Dozen (which is a remake of a 1950 film) is a fun blast from the past. (Who could forget Hilary Duff as a frustrated teenager and Ashton Kutcher as the quintessential early 2000s heartthrob?)

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids

The 1989 film Honey, I Shrunk the Kids is a beloved ’80s comedy starring Rick Moranis as Wayne Szalinski, a quirky inventor who accidentally shrinks his children to the size of bugs. Many kids growing up in the ’90s fondly remember watching this classic movie over and over on VHS.

The Family Stone

The movie The Family Stone, released in 2005 and starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Rachel McAdams, and the late Diane Keaton, playfully explores the awkwardness and clashes that happen when you introduce your partner to your family during the holidays. It’s a heartwarming and relatable drama that perfectly captures the complexities of family life – who hasn’t felt a little out of place meeting their significant other’s family during the busy holiday season?

Look Who’s Talking

It’s rare to find movies quite like Look Who’s Talking these days. This charmingly goofy 1989 comedy stars John Travolta and Kirstie Alley and tells the story of a woman finding love, all narrated by her surprisingly witty baby (voiced by Bruce Willis). It’s a lighthearted, feel-good movie with a warm, nostalgic vibe, a likable cast, and a heartwarming message about what family truly means.

Click

When Click was released in 2006, reviews were mixed. The film centers on a workaholic who uses a magical remote to skip ahead in his life, and it delivers a message many people can relate to: cherish what you have and don’t take moments for granted. While the Adam Sandler comedy features some crude and silly humor – including a running joke about the family dog – it’s ultimately about the importance of family. In recent years, the movie has gained renewed appreciation for its surprisingly touching and emotional story.

Mrs. Doubtfire

If you’re looking for a truly nostalgic movie, look no further than Mrs. Doubtfire. This hilarious 1993 comedy tells the story of a dad who disguises himself as a British nanny just to spend time with his children after a divorce. It’s a heartwarming and funny film about family and how far parents will go for their kids. The movie boasts a fantastic cast, including Sally Field, Mara Wilson, and Pierce Brosnan, but it’s the late Robin Williams who truly shines, bringing a uniquely warm and unforgettable performance to one of his most iconic roles.
