Who's watching this in Christmas 2023? 😊 This episode by Rick Steves has become a tradition for me to watch every Christmas season!! The hauntingly beautiful and emotionally moving rendition of Silent Night at the end of this episode gets me every time!! Absolutely love it!!!
I am a Hindu but since childhood I always have this fascination towards Christmas decorations we see in movies ....n always wished if I could get to see this in real.. This video made it quite possible.. Thank you so so much
hindus and pagan europeans shared the same gods because we are cousins linguistically and genetically especially if your North Indian though your ancestors mixes with the dravidian Indians. in cold Europe we cherished the seasons because of short summers and long winters so winter solstice was the biggest festival all year. when chrisiantiy arrived we mixed our culture with chrisiantiy brining the tree with us and decoration and gift giving creating the modern western Christmas you know today.
@@covfefe1787 I don't know if you have heard about Lord Krishna, probably the most worshiped deity in India. His story is very similar to that of Jesus and he was a divine child raised among Cowherds and went on to preach the Bhagavad Gita in the middle of the Mahabharata War. That book inspired many great western and eastern thinkers.
@@vishamr2000 No, Jesus is God, the second person of the Trinity. No other being or person past, present, or future is greater than the one true God as in the Bible.
@@Terry-te1ij only pure blind beliefs you got from a book from which many things were edited out....you cant even prove god exists...there are ways to be worthy to see and prove to yourself that this is true. You speak from inexperience and blind belief point of view. I speak from direct experience
Wouldn't you love to go sledding down that hill with those beautiful candles and light up the mountains l??? Norwegian Christmas carols are extremely beautiful
How terriblty sad it is that so many people think that Christmas is one long secular party, lasting all of December until Christmas Day and then it's gone. This video helps to reinforce the real, meaning of Christmas and shows the wonder of what they're missing. Thank you, Rick Steves.
Very festive and atmospheric classic. I’m not sure how much Rick Steves and his team are aware of how great these videos are for disabled, armchair travelers. Merry Christmas and Happy Solstice to all!

You know, what really strikes me about this incredible program is how Christmas feels so much more charitable in Europe, almost like the way I think Jesus intended it to be. Seeing this, it makes Christmas here in the USA seem so consumer-driven, bordering on vapid. Christmas just appears so sweet and innocent in Europe.
October 2004, my wife and I visited Gimmelwald, 45:41 in this episode, after watching and being inspired by an earlier Rick Steves' travelogue episode from there. The village and surrounding mountain vistas were wonderful. We experienced an overnight light snowfall and Gimmelwald and nearby Murren looked like they were from a "snow globe". The saying (or motto) for the village is: "If Heaven isn't what it's cracked up to be, send me back to Gimmelwald."
Thank you, Rick, for keeping Christ the center of your moving European Christmas presentation. ...57 years ago today (December 15th) I felt - for the first time- the indescribable peace of the Holy Spirit in Berchtesgaden, Germany as a result of my receiving Jesus as lord and Savior. When I listen to Bavarian abendmusik of Christmas it puts me back to that moment so long ago when I was in the Army stationed in Germany, and had that encounter with the Holy Spirit. ..Blessings to you.
I sadly get a lump in my throat watching Steve's Family & friends having fun sleighing down the snowy Swizz slopes because I missed out on having that rarest amusement when I was young😢. How marvelous the blissful blue hue nightlife appears adorningly in the Gimmelwald Alps😌.
I loved those sleds - all made of wood, and down to earth beautiful; not made out of plastic with an ugly, aggressive style. A gorgeous scene with the extended family and friends on sleds, going down the dark hill with lit candles...
All of Rick Steves' episodes are excellent, but this one is particularly special as it shows the wonderful and special time that is shared by so many people of different countries. It makes you a part of the celebrations.
@Joy Winfree it's a little more than a month past Christmas, and I am just now seeing this video. But I saw your post, such precious words and if it's ok, I actually would like to send a big virtual hug to YOU! May your heart feel mine sharing a hug with a new and precious friend. I hope 2023 is filled with blessings and your days with joy, peace, health and each day brings a new happiness. So hugs to you my friend! Be blessed in Jesus Name! From your friend!
I wish America celebrated Christmas like England/Norway...my goodness. Thank you Rick Steves for all that you do with these travel documentaries. God Bless you brother
Being an American musician, I would travel to Oslo just to hear the girls choir and the harp player. I love how the young lady playing harp smiles at the choir at the end of their song. Joyful sounds and faces ❤️🎄❤️
This is the 1st Christmas documentary/show I watch every year. In fact, I remember watching this on PBS back in 2005- 2015, I bought the DVD twice.Now I watch it on RUclips or Prime. Merry Christmas everyone.
There`s nowhere like Europe. I am blessed by living here. So close to what is worth being so close to means I don`t have to travel far to be somewhere worth going to.
I actually visited one of those markets in Berlin back in November without even knowing it was a Christmas market. It was in Potsdamer Platz, and it had one of those snow tubing slides.
A joy to watch during the month of December as we here in USA prepare for Christmas. I enjoy learning and watching the old traditions in other countries. Merry Christmas to everyone.
Just watched this Christmas night with my wife and children and it prolonged the spirit of the holiday. It does make me wish I grew up in Europe or a small town with wonderful traditions and a sense of community. Ot makes me nostalgic for the pre plandemic era. Merry Christmas and may joy and peace of the season be with you.
This Christmas review the Christmas in Europe has special meaning. Hopefully next year the Christmas will be as great as in the video. Sending love to you from Taiwan 🇹🇼.
No matter how many times I watch this video, it brings me so much joy to know that so many nations, throughout the world, still celebrate the birth of the Christ child!! May it always be so!!!
This is without a doubt my favorite Rick Steves episode. This is my christmas tradition to watch every year with my kids or whenever we want to feel the cozy christmas vibes. Thank you Rick Steves for making such informative videos that focus on the history of each region.
This is very nice but as for Steves' activism, there are a lot of things wrong with supporting the communist antics of the Democratic Party nowadays which undermines the very things he touts and experiences in Europe that he shines a spotlight on. They are against capitalism, any traditional belief system which in any way encourages morality or individualism and that includes Christianity, and they strongly urge their unpopular 'woke' yet failed policies on the rest of America whether you agree or not.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS CELABATORY GIFT OF PAST MEMORIES OF THOSE LAST SURVIVORS OF YOUNGER FAMILY GATHERINGS FULL OF ANTICIPATORY JOY... OUR TEARS OF PROFOUND JOY AND SINCERE THANKFULNESS ABOUND AS WE ARE ENABLED IN OUR FAITH TO THANK OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN FOR HIS GIFT TO US... HIS LOVE TO WALK AMONG US... A LOVE THAT WE DO NOT YET FULLY COMPREHEND... BUT SOON WILL FOR ETERNITY! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Rick steves "The Man of Travel and the world explorer " has given enormous information about the culture, tradition, people, business, food, history and so on about various European countries through his travel episodes. Even though we have not visited all these countries, through his videos we can feel we are actually there. Amazing man, really we love you Mr.Steves, this is one of the best and my favorite episodes. Thank you so much.
None else could narrate the Joyful season this good. Definitely, you have taken many of us to the old beautiful memories. Have well portrayed the magic of the season. Merry Christmas!!!
I just watched this and long for such a place with traditions, intimacy and beauty with family and friends. Norway was especially beautiful. Merry Christmas
OMG! I didn't expect to find Steve on RUclips! this man's shows are the comfiest coziest things Ive ever seen! As someone who's housebound and never had the chance to travel anywhere Ive become a huge fan and his shows help when Im depressed or bummed out, Thank you Steve!
I can't say with countries in Europe The most beautiful All of them are very beautiful. Beside I always love your travels videos I also watching you on public television .

Indeed, the holiday extends through New Years and up to Epiphany and is still celebrated more traditionally by many.
It has become a tradition for me to watch this every Christmas. It was so well done.
My tradition also! Love this video!
Me too… Seasons’ Greetings from Scotland 🏴 🎄
Same.🎄
@@sillybeeful merry Christmas to you as well from Minnesota 🎄
@@ClaraTunwin Ditto! A new Christmas tradition for me as well.
This one makes me cry. The Norwegian Girl’s Choir sounds absolutely ethereal.
IKR! I think the piece they are singing is Solvant Hodie.
Youre talking about the one in the church in oslo right? Coz that one gives me shivers,its so beautiful
Sacred music from medieval Spain take a look at it

Thanks
I thought there were going to be at least 10 commercials on this video and not a single one has played. It's a Christmas miracle!🧐✨🎆
You'll be happy to know that on RUclips there's no ads (or pledge drives) on Rick Steves' videos!
It's PBS. PBS doesn't have commercials!
@@mikewrasman5103 Not during the program. Just in between them. On television 📺.
Which isn’t that bad.
And no pledge drive, either!

It was great to escape corona for some minutes. How idylic the life was then.... Thanks Rick!
We had it so good for a time . . .

LOVELY ! LET'S KEEP THOSE WONDERFUL AND VARIED TRADITIONS FOR GENERATIONS TO COME ! THANK YOU !
Sounds great. But you know what you have to do then right? You have to vote against multiculture and the influx of mass non european immigration.
I have always loved his shows. He is so intelligent and polite. Merry Christmas.
My annual tradition is to watch this special while wrapping presents. Thank you for this lovely show! 🎄🎅🏻🎁

That's why I like him he's so knowledgeable about the holidays and that they celebrate it many different ways
But very romanticized.

Hi Annick
I love the cultural diversity and history of Europe. Fantastic Rick!
This is Europe of the past, now history. This was filmed about 20 years ago.
@KB Yeah, the last time I visited certain parts were unrecognizable. Sad the culture is being replaced.
@@vladimirpoutine7522 Not just the culture. The ethnicity too.
@@rovhalt6650 So what? Times change, diversity makes us better and more interesting. Rick would denounce what you said.
It’s really a shame what their political class has done to Europe and now going on through west.
I’m 85 this is the best show of Christmas I ever seen thank you very much I’m sad I’m glad I never could live my dream for Christmas!
I love Christmas! It's one of my favorite times of year!
Christmas is such a magical time of year.
I am from India. Happy Christmas days.
Thanks Steve, I watch this every year. European Christmas Markets is my ultimate bucket list goal
It's not like this anymore though.
German ones are the most beautiful, the atmosphere there is wonderful
Polish Christmas markets, especially in Wroclaw, Gdansk, and Krakow are the best one now! They are called "jarmarki".
@@juliaj7939 Münster has the best ones in my opinion, and the city itself is so beautiful!
I actually visited one of those markets in Berlin back in November without even knowing it was a Christmas market. It was in Potsdamer Platz, and it had one of those snow tubing slides.
A joy to watch during the month of December as we here in USA prepare for Christmas. I enjoy learning and watching the old traditions in other countries. Merry Christmas to everyone.
