The French tradition of the Christmas Yule log.

A warm and cherished symbol of the holiday season, the Christmas yule log finds its origins in an ancient custom: in centuries past, a real wooden log was placed in the hearth to burn throughout Christmas Eve. It embodied light, protection, and the spirit of togetherness. Over time, this ritual transformed into the iconic French dessert we know today.

The modern yule log brings together pâtisserie craftsmanship, creativity, and indulgence — a sweet tribute to the convivial spirit that defines every Christmas celebration. Whether traditional or reinvented with contemporary flavors, each bûche carries a touch of magic, evoking memories of family gatherings, laughter, and shared joy around the festive table.

This year, our pastry chef Lenka presents two tempting creations that combine elegance and tradition with the sophistication of contemporary flavours. These are Bûche creations that we offer in two sophisticated variations: with chocolate and blood orange, and exotic, with coconut, mango and passion fruit. 
Our Bûches, serving six, shaped and decorated with craftsmanship, elevate the fine art of holiday desserts to a festive level and embellish any table.

We invite you to discover Juliette’s Yule logs from Saturday, 29th November at your favourite Juliette’s store and try them in individual portions.

The Yule logs are available from Monday, 1st December in our stores and in our online shop.
