I was last year in NZ over the holidays. It was strange for someone from the northern hemisphere to celebrate christmas in shorts, t-shirt and with barbecue, but I liked it and people there were super friendly.
I grew up in the Midwest then lived in California for 22 years so NZ/AU warm Christmases no biggie. My first Christmas in CA it was 70 degrees and sunny and I thought I’d died and gone to heaven!
To the people over seas who hate the sound of Christmas happening without winter. It makes more sense to celebrate Christmas during summer rather than during the freezing winter. Merry Christmas Kiwis.
I from Russia, and i still can't imagine New year without snow. That's reverse seasons just blow my mind. But New Zealand one of my favourite country))
White Rabbit I'm kiwi 🤣😂I would not want a white xmas it's wonderful enjoying the sun ask the aussies I don't like the cold looks pretty though but yea ma love from new Zealand
Even living in Czechia usually means no snow at Christmas. 😂 We might have lots a week before, and other lots in January, but Christmas? The ground will be bare and it will be raining. 😂
@@melissaheath3220 yes, but minced meat ≠ mincemeat. In the UK (and maybe other places) mincemeat is what you put in a Christmas mince pie, which is dried fruit in a kind of sticky jam. Very different to ground up animal flesh.
Aussies can have the BORING AS FUCK PAVLOVA (just egg whites and sugar.... wow! how exciting!)...HALF OF ALL AUSSIE MUSICIANS ARE ORIGINALLY KIWIS!...eg: Split Enz, Dragon, Sharon O'Neill, Jon Stevens etc. NEW ZEALAND HAS THE BEST ROCKERS HAHAHA!
When i was a youth, i didn't know what the Southern Hemisphere was and that Aus. and NZ have "reversed" seasons. When i learned about Hot Christmas, it spawned a MIGHTY NEED to travel for the season. I have a birthday at the end of Jan., and i hate winter with a fiery passion that while extreme, is not enough to melt snow. I just want to surf for my birthday.😭
I wish I would travel to the southern hemisphere when it starts getting cold! But unless it's just a week or two for vacation, you'd have to buy a house or somewhere to stay that whole time, lol. That's just too expensive!! I guess that's why people in the US go to Florida? 😬
@@danielleking262 the absolute only reason I would ever consider getting married is so absolutely far-fetched, it lives only in my head: there's a southern hemisphere... I dunno venture capitalist (no)... oil baron (ugh)... beef/lamb tycoon (god)... was like "Oy, we can just fly to my home in September, then travel back to your shitty apartment in March. You down?"
nn129 And I, celebrating my birthday in Australia on Boxing Day would give my eyes for a white Christmas, to escape the heat, the flies, the bushfires, the prawns that are off from sitting in the sun for hours and the snakes that may make an unexpected visit if your Christmas is a bush one. Oh the fun!
I’m an expat from uk living in California for 35 yrs . I still find it strange we all go back to work after Christmas Day. No Boxing Day. Thanksgiving is the biggest holiday celebration. Even though it’s warm here we can travel up to ski at Tahoe in California. Best of both worlds. Oh made many pavlova’s really easy. 🎄❄️☃️🤶
Love the video and the ideas. But I'm a kiwi and my Christmas includes these following: going to the beach, sausage sizzle, getting sad in your jandels while Playing rugby with the family, playing Christmas songs all morning while stepping on prickles and finding sand from 2 yrs ago and thinking how. Ahhh good times
I so needed this video right now . I’m an Aussie. I’ve been watching American and English Xmas videos thinking 🤔 we weren’t normal with the clamshell pool ( everyone trying to fit in with the dogs) 🤣and our Aussie/ New Zealand spin on Xmas , our way.
It was so crazy to me the first time I realized that seasons were reversed in the southern hemisphere. And then I saw backyard BBQs for Christmas and my mind was blown! I think I was early teens when the revelation hit and I saw a picture of it. I think it would be a lot more fun to have the Summer BBQ with all the rest of the Christmas fun.
Had a Kiwi Christmas once. Spent the day down at the beach on Waiheke island swimming in the sea. Before a bbq and pavlova. Coming from the north of Scotland, it was......awesome!
This is awesome! I live in the North East of the United States! So very different! I would love to visit New Zealand! I can't wait for covid to go away! Love your videos! Please keep going! 🎄❤💚❤💚
Took my family 30+ years to transition from a fully cooked, traditional English Christmas dinner. Thank heavens we finally embraced the bbq and salads and ham! And pav and trifle (and plum pudding) for dessert. We save the English version for Christmas in July when the weather is more suited to having an oven on for hours!
How refreshing your celabrations sound. Kinda like our Fourth of July barbeques here in the US. Always far too much face stuffing going on. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Cheers.
Burned meats from the barbecue sounds delicious with ketchup! Also as left overs for dinner. And a bottle of a cold beer ;) That's an ideal Dad Christmas day!
I actually have clients from New Zealand ..they told me the Christmas trees are whichever tree that’s leaning towards your house..you cut that one down..that’s just smart
We have a native tree called the pahutakawa which is referred to as the Christmas tree cos it blossoms around this time of year and they are red pom pom looking things so you have ya green tree with the red balls on it. Attracts Tui aswell which is cool the sound they make is amazing.
Yep i'm that uncle that is a cheeky/tired drunk, My nieces and nephews already hate my dad jokes if you call them that when i'm sober so yeah it would be 100% worst when i'm drunk
One of my best friends is an Americanized Kiwi because he's lived over here for approx 10 years now. Same speach...same hand gestures...same sense of humor. Kiwis some of the greatest people on earth.
100% true 👍 story regarding Christmas. New years Day is usually spent lying in the sun hung over as all hell only to get so burnt everyone uses you as the BBQ for the next few days!!!! Good memories.
Miss NZ Christmas! We had plans to be in NZ this Christmas, haven’t been down under since 2018. Then the d... virus popped up. Have to stay in Sweden this year too. Waiting to be in NZ next year.🇳🇿🇸🇪 Merry Christmas to all kiwis!
Down under is another name for Australia but ill let you off with a warning this time hahahaha (technically NZ is still down under well compared to sweeden anyway)
Your Christmas Day sounds like a Summer picnic day for us between June and September, either at my home or my big family will meet at a local park. Sometimes we also do that on Easter Sunday or 4th of July. Being that my family is Mexican-American, our Christmas Eve or later in the afternoon on Christmas Day, I visit both sides of my mom and dads family, never had we had any tension... but I don’t live with my relatives so who knows how they are at their home! Lol.. surprisingly since we’re in Southern California, it is always sunny and warm, not Summer temperatures more like 65 to 70 degrees F. (18 to 21 degrees C). But it gets very cold fast at night over here. If we want to see snow, we have to drive two or three hours to the mountains and hopefully there is snow! California is always in a drought unfortunately, so we don’t always get that “Winter Wonderland” like in the Christmas movies. And my Mexican family says Feliz Navidad (Merry Christmas), that’s what it says on your Christmas pull over you showed, or just Merry Christmas. We have a big ham, well several because all the women in the family think their ham is better, lots of side dishes, even chili beans and Tamales! And several different kinds of cakes, cookies, and Empanadas, some have fruit, some have pumpkin spice, and some have some spicy meat in it. This year we are staying safe and having my family at my home. Some of my elderly relatives have to be extra safe because of their health, so they’re staying home. I’ll still make the best of Christmas with my hubby and my mom and since we just got a new stove, I’ll be cooking and baking a lot! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family! 💖
Come Christmas and New Years my parents like to host a Hangi on both occasions for close family and friends. Hit the beach for some fun, smash down some good food with a few drinks and pass out in the hammock i've had hanging at my parents since 17 lol.
I grew up in Northland on the east coast and on Christmas Day we would run down to the beach and get our feet burned on the hot sand. Now I live in Ontario, Canada, and we don't get snow here on Christmas Day, either. 🎄🌎
This year I tried to get a much smaller ham because we ended up throwing a lot of it out last year and I was like "ugh what a waste... it was too big" so this time I got a smaller one and we BARELY managed to still eat all of it for leftovers!! I guess I need to get an even smaller one?? I can never tell anymore!!! lol
Its not days over here, its literally weeks! Then comes the time when everyone is offering everyone else their left over ham as no one wants to eat it any more
As a kiwi I feel the onion dip and chippies was missing, also the lamb roast on the barbie. I also think the neighbour who does his lawns on Xmas Day morning could have been mentioned. Other than that - yep a typical Kiwi Xmas!
Wow your Christmas are literally the same as where I live, we also don't have snow because it's summer and the people wear the less cloth possible xD (sorry if there's some mistakes I'm not native speaker)
Yip! The same in sunny South Africa, but most try to be near a swimming pool on the day too. Our whole country starts shutting down from next week for Christmas holidays (except the retail stores).
Mafia power couple of Christmas songs 🤣🤣 omg how am I just stumbling on your channel!! So hilariously real! How do you do it with such a straight face!!
The start of new year in Iran is the start of spring, so we have 50/50 chance of snow and blossoms, or both; and the special meal is fish and rice. Then we go on to a holiday of 13 days marathon of visiting our relatives and binge eating nuts and sweets.
Living in Oakland, California, I always wonder why people decide to put on snow-themed Christmas decorations. And by "people" I mean cities and businesses mainly. It doesn't snow here. It rains.
I had a Christmas in Oz in 1999 (plus the Millennium but at 12C...ick) and it was so weird, just coz December downunder feels like July up here and that equates to base ball, beaches, fireworks, not Santa. LOL Anyway, I'm super jealous of NZ and Oz: Summer and no fricken Covid. Good on ya, ya baddies... (Hugs and stuff from Canada)
First. Hahahahahahahahahha ha!
No I was first :'(
I was 100th ish

Same in Australia. Christmas is all about survival: from the heat, food coma and family tensions 😂😭
Yeah I steered clear of mentioning the family tensions to avoid any extra family tensions at mine 😬😅
But here in Australia we have the Sydney to Hobart Race and the Boxing Day Test
@@missrugbyaust we have the boxing day test in NZ too.

We are not stuck inside. Occasional facedive in the snow really gets you going again.
From Canada. Can confirm that snow sucks especially when its like 300cm deep. Also we do Ham too!

All the images associated with Christmas are really northern-hemisphere-centric. Living in the equator also means no snow.
Even living in Czechia usually means no snow at Christmas. 😂 We might have lots a week before, and other lots in January, but Christmas? The ground will be bare and it will be raining. 😂

The start of new year in Iran is the start of spring, so we have 50/50 chance of snow and blossoms, or both; and the special meal is fish and rice. Then we go on to a holiday of 13 days marathon of visiting our relatives and binge eating nuts and sweets.
I’m absolutely obsessed finally we get noticed
Hopeful future kiwi: taking notes! Taking notes!!!
I saw how to dad in a commercial in canada today. I was so proud and excited for you.

Hi Susie
Living in Oakland, California, I always wonder why people decide to put on snow-themed Christmas decorations. And by "people" I mean cities and businesses mainly. It doesn't snow here. It rains.
I'm British but I'll be in Australia around Christmas time next year and I'm so looking forward to the hot weather!!!
Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé are the Mafia couple of Christmas songs.
Love it :D
I had a Christmas in Oz in 1999 (plus the Millennium but at 12C...ick) and it was so weird, just coz December downunder feels like July up here and that equates to base ball, beaches, fireworks, not Santa. LOL Anyway, I'm super jealous of NZ and Oz: Summer and no fricken Covid. Good on ya, ya baddies... (Hugs and stuff from Canada)
