The White Stripes Have a New, 90-Minute Yule Log Video Pairing Their Music with Some Wild Imagery

YouTube has its issues, but one of the reliable benefits of the video platform is the existence of the “Yule log video.” Usually serene holiday scenes set to Christmastime classics, a fireplace crackling along, these clips make for delightfully relaxing ambience at home during the holiday season. The White Stripes, continuing to push their recently-released Greatest Hits collection, shared a yule log video of their own this week … kind of. Watch out, late ’90s alt/rock bands.
The 90-minute illustrated video directed by Noah Sterling features some stark imagery — as always, in the white, red and black color imagery put out by Jack and Meg White throughout their career — looping through scenes of grizzly bears, bees, dragons, vampires and more.

Accompanying the imagery is a selection of songs from the White Stripes’ Greatest Hits set, acoustic songs, b-sides and the original Christmas song “Candy Cane Children.” It all makes for one of the most offbeat yule log videos you’ll ever see:
Add that to your YouTube rotation and pepper in a bit of twisted magic to the old standards. Why not, right?
