  • Welcome back to Christmas week - with one we have been waiting all month to experience - our very first Christmas Market in Hamburg, Germany.
    See all of our Christmas Specials over the last 4 years: • A South African Christ...
    As we are on a family holiday with Stephens mom & dad, we thought heading out on a Christmas market cruise would be perfect, stopping over in Amsterdam and Hamburg (we were also meant to go to Belgium but the stop was cancelled last minute due to high winds).
    Upon arrival in Amsterdam we headed out the city to Zaanse Schans to see the Netherlands countryside, go inside a Windmill, check out the wooden traditional clogs and see the Christmas cheer in the city.
    Next day we arrived in Hamburg and were blown away by the German Christmas Markets. We tried vegetarian bratwurst, hot chocolate, beignets and even saw the Christmas parade!
    A perfect way to experience Christmas!

    I did a winter semester in Germany and that was the best Christmas I’ve ever had. I made it a point to go out everyday to visit all the Christmas markets in Munich before it was time for me to head back home. I walked around the markets alone sometimes, with a Starbucks christmas-specials frappuccino because I got tired of hot drinks 😂 I watched this today just to relive the wonderful moments, though I can’t smell the spices, the sounds and the ambience were very well captured here. Thank you so much for this video, I greatly needed this. Merry Christmas to you guys and your family ❤️🎄

    So cool to see that finally some people don't only experience southern or middle Germany. The north is so beautiful in it's own way and so many people don't notice us here! Hamburg was an excellent choice to visit!
    Also I love to see your excitment for every single place you visit! That's what makes your videos so uplifting!
    Keep going and merry Christmas to you!🎅

    Watching this as a german in november 2020 knowing that there will be no christmas markets this year because of covid makes me feel kind of nostalgic. This will be the first year of my life without a christmas market so to see all of it in your video makes me so so happy. Anyways - already excited for the season being cozy at home and baking cookies. 🌲☃️
