yule log

December fireplace centerpiece

A yule log is a large log traditionally burned in the fireplace during Christmas celebrations, meant to burn throughout the holiday.

The term now more commonly refers to a chocolate cake shaped and decorated to look like a log, served as a Christmas dessert: She made a yule log with chocolate buttercream bark.

The French call it bûche de Noël.
