Miller Lite is taking the whole drink in front of the fireplace thing quite literally. Today, the macro brewer released YuleLager, or a beer-pouring fireplace inspired by the famous yule log. Now, folks can have a good nightcap drink before a beer-dispensing pretend hearth.

What’s included? For starters, an LED screen playing an 8-hour loop of burning wood. You also get a pouring contraption meant to look like a chimney withe a custom tap handle. What’s more, there’s audio mimicking crackling fire sounds, spare beer storage, and hooks to hang stockings.

For Miller Lite and inexpensive domestic beer fans, Christmas seems to have come early. And don’t worry, the thing could not be easier to use. Just plug it all in and add your own stash of beer to the chimney system for cold-keeping.

Whether you like to go all out for the holidays, or just keep things simple, the Miller Lite YuleLager puts an all-new twist on gathering around the fire during all your festive moments.”
