Join Your Favorite Ponies Christmas Morning With A Traditional Yule Log!

You read that right folks! Our friends over at The Hub are doing things a bit different this Christmas, and will be showing a traditional Yule Log before their morning programming. From 6 AM to 10 AM Eastern, you and your family can sit in front of the TV and listen to the crack crack crackle of the log and along with some festive music! There might even be a few of your favorite characters stopping by! The Press Release we got goes as follows:

On Christmas morning, the Hub Network, a destination for kids and their families, will preempt all regular programming to feature the “My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Yule Log,” a Hub-centric version of the perennial favorite: a crackling yule log, complete with songs of the season playing in the background, Wednesday, December 25, 6–10 a.m. ET/3–7 a.m. PT. The programming preemption encourages family togetherness during the holiday morning.

Animated characters from a variety of Hub Network shows make cameo appearances around the fire, as seen at Pinkie Pie’s house where stockings have been hung for each of the core-cast ponies of “My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic,” including Princess Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. Fans can also go to Hub Network’s YouTube channel onDecember 25 to transform their computers and smart phones into crackling fireplaces of fun.

 

The original “Yule Log” program was first broadcast on Christmas morning in 1966 by local station WPIX as a gift to New York City residents, most of who live in apartments and do not have fireplaces. The program was a critical and ratings success and was broadcast for 23 years until it was taken off the air in the 1990s. The traditional “Yule Log” TV program has since returned and can be seen on numerous stations nationwide.
