    Absolutely wonderful, Hannah! Thank you for braving the cold to share this with us. The decorations in Covent Garden and along the way to Trafalgar Square were a treat. The markets in London are much better than the few that are here (Atlanta, Georgia area). Happy Christmas to you, Hannah and to all here in the comments! See you on Friday!

    15 years ago I started learning Bulgarian online as I wanted to visit the Black Sea Coast, and the food is like Turkish Cuisine. I learnt the basics, "Hello, how are you? My name is, Thank you, Bye!" Then fell and broke my shoulder so stayed home in agony. ☹️ Wish you better luck! 💗

    Hi Hannah!!
    Love your videos!! I’m a Filipina Londoner (moved to London for work many years ago) and I have so many recommendations in Chinatown!
    1. Mamason’s- Filipino ice cream place! Amazing if you’re looking for great ice cream. They specialise in Ube ice cream. Ube is a native rootcrop in the Philippines and it’s like sweet potato but better!
    2. Tsujiri- If you love matcha, you’d love this place! They have matcha ice cream, matcha cakes, crepe cakes, every thing matcha. Tip: try the soft serve matcha. It’s to die for.
    3. Tao Tao Ju- my most favourite restaurant in town. Dimsums are great here and best when celebrating so you can share everything! Try their congee on a cold winter day! GREAT FOOD BUT AWFUL SERVICE (as all good Chinese restaurants usually are 😅)
    4. Kung Fu Noodle- great braised beef hand-pulled noodles. No fuss, simple soup! Amazing for winter. And they have cold noodles that will be refreshing for summer!
    5. Sakurado- gorgeous Japanese baked goods! Mille crepe cakes, fluffy sponge cakes, cutest yuzu cookies. Everything is great!! On a hot summer day, have the bingsu. It’s shaved ice dessert perfect for cooling down. Can have lots of toppings on it too!
    Have an amazing Christmas!! ❤

    And to answer your question regarding the cold: in Ontario, they have more and more cold weather warnings. Meaning temperatures below minus 40 degrees Celsius. If you intend to walk around outside in those temperatures, you need a special coat with fleece and membranes inside to protect you from the wind. And underneath the coat, I recommend Uniqlo heat tech clothing. Then you can walk around and take photos. You will still have a red, running nose after a long walk, but that'll be all.

    This was so enjoyable Hannah. I live in a sleepy town - so nothing like that here. I went to Pasadena, CA on Saturday. They don't have a Christmas market that I am aware of. BUT they have this wonderful almost mile long Christmas Tree Lane (even with a plaque) that people drive through. There are these cedar trees that line the street and volunteers string colorful lights on them - it is beautiful and very comforting - like have a blanket of lights over you. And of course some of the houses along the road have their homes and lawns all done up in Christmas. I am originally from Chicago. Every year downtown they have a German Christmas market. Does London? Have a Happy Christmas Hannah 🎄 and wonderful New Year! 🍾

We had a Cold front come through last night, it's only 47 right now, here in Savannah GA. Our typical temp in late Fall into Winter is: 55-67 F. It's quite cold out there, but I enjoy chilly- cold temps, as during the Summers it's just too Hot! The cold weather drives the biting bugs away, which is a huge plus! I know to some, in other areas....this wouldn't be cold for them but in the South -- it IS!⛄❄ We've had warm Winters where it's been in the 70ties, which feels so unnatural to me. Have a Merry Christmas!🎄💝🎅🎁

    Happy Holidays! London is definitely my favorite city so far and I am very grateful I found your channel. It brings so much joy and keeps me positive while I cannot be there. Every time I watch new vlog, I’m like traveling. Thank you for sharing everything with us.
    While living in Canada, it’s extremely important to me to keep bit of Europe in my life, since I’m originally from Estonia.
    And talking about cold…goosh, last year I had a chance to reach new numbers in my life. Unfortunately we are not talking about weight numbers and thankfully not yet age, but winter here can get very brutal, especially in the middle of Canada. Together with wind I experienced-43 degrees in Celsius. And that hurts. So badly that after crying for a bit I realized my tears froze and there was nothing else to do than just laugh about whole situation.
    This year we’ve been lucky and mostly having mild winter. Bit of a frost during the night and reasonable temperatures in daytime.
    Keep doing what you doing, because London has special place in my heart, as whole England. And I will keep watching your new vlogs.
    Merry Christmas!🎉

I was there last weekend to enjoy all the festivities, as I only live 7 hours north, and there were British couples and families everywhere! Even in my hotel elevator! I was just remarking to my friend who came with me, that there were lots of British people in the city and the 2 people in our elevator laughed and said "You've got 2 of them here!" Lots of Christmas Cheer all around. Merry Christmas Hannah! I've really enjoyed all of your holiday vlogs and keep filming in 4k. You look gorgeous.

    Merry Christmas Hannah! I'm from Moonshine Central basically. It's just a white non-aged spirit made from corn, versus bourbon which is barrel aged and has a more involved distilling process. Then they add loads of flavorings in the shine like they do with vodka. Grownups drink bourbon and leave the shine for the college kids and the many many tourists. Thanks for taking us along Christmasy London and have a lovely time with your family.

    The camera work looked fine and I did see any flaws in your face and skin, even when you did point it out, your still a talented beautiful looking women.
    Please if it is possible show some footage of yourself, Nat and your nieces, its always great fun seeing them.

We are big Ben cookies fans. Do you know do add any Christmas types of cookies this time of year? We just watched the movie last Christmas which was filmed in Convent gardens. We love Convent garden area. We always stop by each time we come to London. We enjoy your walks around areas of London as a suggestion for 2024. Thanks for this great videos and all the others from the year. Take care Chris and Sandra of Canada.

    I don’t know if you ever watched Ghostwriter on PBS as a Londoner. But one of the episodes one of the characters went to London, you should visit the places he visited on the show or just comment.

    Thank you for your effort bringing us this content. Has a German I have to say our Xmas markets are a lot better. Maybe next year do some vlogs from Nuremberg or Cologne? Strasbourg, France has an awesome market too. Merry Christmas!

    Those little fish shaped custard things looked like a good idea, and sounded yummy. I would not have been able to pass that first sausage stand without getting a bratwurst or the smoked one. It is -9C here in Canada where i am and can get a lot colder, like -20 - -32C. I love those door trims you show, really nice.

    It must be tough to sell enough product as a food vendor, and stand in the cold the whole day. During Christmas the local supermarkets sell gammon, and fruit mince cakes. I like the Christmas pudding with Brandy. According to the internet, gammon is also popular in the UK, second to turkey.

    Standing in a queue for an M&Ms store or Lego store to me is like being from a different planet. Thank you for showing us the Christmas markets, I'm not a person who likes crowds so this is probably as close as I will get to any of them. Some mulled wine would be nice though!

    Happy Christmas Hannah and Happy New Year! I can’t believe it’s Christmas Eve tomorrow. Finally in a state where it feels like Christmas with colder temps. The past four months since being here in VA has been crazy busy. So it feels like Christmas but the it doesn’t. But seeing all your fun videos of Christmas down in London to the lovely tea at the Ritz with your sister. Has made feel like Christmas.. Put a smile on our faces and made us hungry at times.😂 with all the yummy deserts and food. Looking forward to what you share with us in 2024.❤🎄🤗
