I'm so glad you mentioned American Girl! I had Samantha and Addy. The Samantha movie was so good, I loved it when I was a kid. There are some American Girl mystery novels that are great too!
I’ve literally been eating up all the hallmark Christmas movies this past week... it felt a little dirty in the beginning but so many people have been doing the same that I no longer feel the shame😂
Meet Me In St Louis is my FAVOURITE winter movie. You would LOVE it. Grand Victorian Houses, beautiful dresses, sisters, Christmas balls, dancing, romance with the boy next door, family 😍 Everything you need
The Anne of Green Gables series with Megan Follows playing Anne Shirley. This is the version that I grew up with and it is one of my favorite costume series! Haven't watched Anne with an E (yet) because I love Megan Follows as Anne can't imagine anyone else playing the part as well!
Hi Desi, The Little House episode you were highlighting is titled: A Christmas They Never Forgot. Thank you for the heads up on Anne With an E it's right up my alley. (Some of us men a major suckers for pretty much all you have discussed!) Regards.
I have been loving all your cozy fall and winter videos. I’ve also been making all the desserts you have shown too. So far the pumpkin cheesecake muffins and apple rose pie. I also love the vintage movie recommendations.
While You Were Sleeping is one of my favorite movies ever. Doesn't get any better than some old school Sandra Bullock! It's definitely a great holiday movie.
So glad you recommended Anne Brontë! She's my favorite author out of the Brontë sisters and I'm always saddened to see her overlooked by so many people.
The Snow Child sounds so endearing. I love your scarf and how every one of your recommendations videos always ends up making me add a bunch of movies and books to watch and read respectively.
Aww thank you! I don't know if I'm confident enough to do a makeup tutorial... I have no idea how to really use makeup.. But maybe someday! For my blush, I've actually been mixing two different blushes together recently :) Here are the links for the two: www.milanicosmetics.com/products/rose-powder-blush (in color "wild rose") www.milanicosmetics.com/products/baked-blush?variant=47991657743&flow_country=USA& (in color "02 Rose D'oro")
@Darling Desi ....you look absolutely beautiful and sooooo glowy in this video...also GREAT recommendations!! I’ve always LOVED Chronicles of Narnia!! ❄️
Hey desi I know it’s been nearly a year since this video was put up but I highly recommend watching The box of Delights this winter. It’s a gorgeous mystical story set in England in the 1935 surrounding Christmas. It’s got similar vibes to the lion the witch and the wardrobe and I think you’d love it
DUDE OMG! WILDWOOD DANCING! This is a book I read in middle school and I couldn't remember very well and I've been trying to find the title for years!!! I've literally been posting online and digging through libraries and here it just pops up! I could seriously cry right now tysm for talking about it here!
Please please please make a video on train-vibe books and movies.. I just love that idea.. that is such a specific vibe.. cozy, but on a journey at the same time..🚂🚞🚉 This was an absolutely delightful video by the way! Thank you for it! ❄️✨🙏💝
This is such a fantastic list! As a former professor who has dealt with spousal abuse, I'm not a huge fan of Brontë, but I'm so glad people are reading classics for FUN! Reading should never be a punishment in any way. Your "Some of my other favorite winter movies & books" contained the movies I would suggest, though I do love ELF, LAST CHRISTMAS, and RUDOLPH AND THE ISLAND OF MISFIT TOYS a lot.
OH! And thank you so much for adding in the notes where we can catch the movies you mentioned! We could of course Google ourselves, but you've saved us time, and it is appreciated! It's a thoughtful touch that shows you care, and we see that. :)
I just finished All That Heaven Allows after watching your video and IT WAS OPTIMUM WINTERY ROMANCE VIBES *swoon* I absolutely loved it, thank you for the recommendation, I'd never have watched it otherwise!
You are the first person I now know who has read and LOVES ... The Snow Child !! My sister lives in Alaska and gave the book to me many years ago ! It instantly became a favourite of mine !!! Hello from Canada ! Love love your Channel !! Pure Magic !
After nobody answered my story on Instagram to recommend Winter books, I knew I had to check your video. You always give the best book and film recommendations! We have similar taste :)
I was obsessed with Kit the AG doll. I never had one but loved the books and the magazine and dreamed of having one. I did go to an American girl tea party a few times at the library . Good times 💛
Oh my goodness I was OBSESSED with the Felicity movie, but I remember the Samantha one being really good too and having really cozy winter vibes! I'm so glad you included that one. My mom and I just recently watched the Kit movie, but I've been wanting to rewatch more of the American Girl movies!
My absolute favorite winter movie is A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott as Scrooge. There are a couple of deviations from the book (one of the spirits has a different appearance and one early scene was removed), but other than that it's VERY faithful to the original Dickens story, especially with the dialogue. The costumes, the music, the best Scrooge, I just love it
Such a lovely video. I'm just going to write my book and movie list up in my journal from your recommendations. I love winter. My husband laughs at me with my pyjamas, heat blanket, candles, tea and my latest buy a pillow to hold my kindle. Just love being cosy 😊 My favourite film is still "Its a wonderful life", which actually has a coloured version too. Just gets me everytime ❄
Happy Thanksgiving Desi! I'm excited to watch Winter's Tale! And I had an American girl doll too. I had Felicity! I've always been fascinated by colonial America. Thank you for all these suggestions!
I love the Snow Child!! Deffo worth a re read. I also really recommend reading Dash and Lily's book of Dares, it's been my go to cosy book for so many years, the series is pretty good but the book!! will light your bookish heart on fire I'm sure xx
I've just finished Sleigh Rides and Silver Bells and it's such a lovely cosy Christmas read, I just loved it! I read it on your recommendation as I was looking for an easy, feel good book to get me back into reading again after a few years, and this definitely did the trick! ❤️
Fun! I am not much of a movie watcher but the last video you did with kind of gothic mystery movies inspired me and I watched every single one. These look like some good ones too. Also thinking of diving into Anne with an E. Thanks for all the recommendations!
A book that I read every year in December for many years is In the Land of Winter by Richard Grant. It's magical realism but set in the struggles of a real life, about a young woman coming into her own power leading up to the winter solstice. And having NOTHING to do with winter or cosy, but you mentioning Murder on the Orient Express made me think of movies set on trains, an amazing feel good movie is The Darjeeling Express. Also, have you ever seen The Three Lives of Thomasina. It's an old Disney movie that I think you'd adore. Not specifically snowy, but it does include British rain storms and a cosy "witch's cottage".
Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher is the perfect winter novel. You would love it because the scene is set in Scotland/England. I read this book in one day. It’s so good! It’s a must read!
Loved this video! You should also make a video about books, movies, and tv shows that all revolve around trains. Hugh train fan!!! Would love to know what you might recommend.
Yes! The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe & the Samantha movie are so good! I wanted Molly, but my dad & grandma got me Kristen. I honestly was lucky to get one.
I love Anne of Green Gables anything, and the new series Anne with E is amazing Im super disappointed it was cancelled but Ive signed the petition to get it back and I have faith it will be picked back up haha! I have never heard of Winters Tale and I can't believe I haven't seen it because it looks/sounds so good! I will definitely be watching that this season!
I’m pretty late on christmas time (but it’s always send cosy vibes no matter the date :D ) but I believe that you love Tolkien, so I would recommend you "Letters from Father Christmas ». In this book, Tolkien writes letters to his children during their childhood and passes himself as Santa Claus. It’s cute and full of magic ! I love it !
I have Molly too! I can't wait till my daughter is old enough for me to hand it down to her :) My favorite classic Christmas/winter film is White Christmas!
I have to say it. There is NO WAY you watched Murder on the Orient Express from 1974 and still like the new version. The old one recreates the Orient Express as it was exactly. The cast is spot on: Anthony Perkins, Lauren Bacall, Albert Finney, Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman... The aesthetic is wonderfull, the costumes, the soundtrack. Also some of the lines that don't even appear in the novel that are pricessless: Hercule Poirot : You never smile, madame la princesse? Princess Dragomiroff : My doctor has advised against it. My favourite movie of all time.
Mr. Edwards (Isaiah Edwards, and the actor is Victor French) is the friend who walks through the snow - I love Little House on the Prairie!! Thank you for some fun recommendations.
The Substitute Guest by Grace Livingston Hill! A very sweet story that takes place on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! I love it and reread every December
I love to watch the box of delights. Every time I thing of Christmas this one of the tv shows I want to watch. I also love read Frost Hollow Hall by Emma Carroll which is about a young girl in the 1800s who falls through the ice in to a lake and is saved by a ghost of a young boy who needs her help. Its based in winter and just very cozy with mysterious and adventure
Tenant of Wildfell Hall is actually my favorite book from the Brontes! Very few know it or bother to read it when they pick up the Bronte Collection but it is definitely worth reading. Thank you for giving it some much deserved attention and love! ♥ ♥ ♥
You have some very good suggestions! I love Anne With an E. I was going to mention The Holiday, but I saw it in the description box. It is one of my favs!! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I'm so glad you mentioned American Girl! I had Samantha and Addy. The Samantha movie was so good, I loved it when I was a kid. There are some American Girl mystery novels that are great too!
Serendipity is a good one to watch around Christmas luv that movie
This is just what I needed for the chilly evening
I’ve literally been eating up all the hallmark Christmas movies this past week... it felt a little dirty in the beginning but so many people have been doing the same that I no longer feel the shame😂
Watched All That Heaven Allows. Thank for your sharing!! What a beautiful, hygge movie!!
Meet Me In St Louis is my FAVOURITE winter movie. You would LOVE it. Grand Victorian Houses, beautiful dresses, sisters, Christmas balls, dancing, romance with the boy next door, family 😍 Everything you need
The Family Stone is one of my favorite winter movies. The cast is amazing and the house is perfectly charming!
The Anne of Green Gables series with Megan Follows playing Anne Shirley. This is the version that I grew up with and it is one of my favorite costume series! Haven't watched Anne with an E (yet) because I love Megan Follows as Anne can't imagine anyone else playing the part as well!
Same! I couldn't stomach watching anything else!
I love that there's a new Anne for a new generation, but Megan Follows will always be my Anne too ♥️
Mr. Edwards! He was my favorite character in LHOTP
Russian snowchild's name is Snegurochka. "Sneg" is snow in Russian.
Thanks for video! Watching you from Russia.❤
Also, in Serbia "sneg" = "snow"
@@MidnighttCatt thank you, didn't know that)
When I was an opera singer, I was in a production of Snegurochka by Rimsky-Korsakov. I played her mother, Spring. It's a beautiful piece.
@@afgyhujkj4765 wow!
We have so many tastes in common !!! Thank you for bringing be so much peace and warm contents during this time
Hi Desi, The Little House episode you were highlighting is titled: A Christmas They Never Forgot. Thank you for the heads up on Anne With an E it's right up my alley. (Some of us men a major suckers for pretty much all you have discussed!) Regards.
Thank you so much for preparing those recommendations! I found some really amazing titles and was feeling winter vibes during watching :)
Yay you have White Christmas on the list! I adore that movie so much
I also love almost every story and movie about The Christmas Carol
It's a wonderful life is always a good winter/Christmas movie too.
Prancer is a lovely Christmas watch!
I am going to watch all that heavens allowed .. slowly getting snow here ! Loved old movies ! Thank you ❄️ 🌲 🎄
I am obsessed with The Holiday!
Is it the 2006 movie or a black and white film?
I have been loving all your cozy fall and winter videos. I’ve also been making all the desserts you have shown too. So far the pumpkin cheesecake muffins and apple rose pie. I also love the vintage movie recommendations.
OMG, I love the Samantha movie! Totally forgot about that one. I love that uncle! 😍😘 I’m literally going to watch that right now
Ok I also have to recommend While You Were Sleeping and if ya like old musicals, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is 👌
Yessss but seven brides for seven brothers is kind of problematic but I still love it.
Yes! 7 brides is the BEST
@Niemstress this is exactly how I feel about it.
While You Were Sleeping is one of my favorite movies ever. Doesn't get any better than some old school Sandra Bullock!
It's definitely a great holiday movie.
So glad you recommended Anne Brontë! She's my favorite author out of the Brontë sisters and I'm always saddened to see her overlooked by so many people.
The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield is now one of my favorites and it's perfect for cold, wintry vibes Desi!
The Snow Child sounds so endearing. I love your scarf and how every one of your recommendations videos always ends up making me add a bunch of movies and books to watch and read respectively.
Have you watched "It Happened on 5th Avenue"? A sweet, heart-warming story set in New York City in December probably in the 1940s.
Thank you so much for putting the recommendations in the description! I love being able to look back or screenshot it for later :)
Dash and Lily is super cute!! I watched it in one sitting!
Omg I watch the Samantha movie every year! Makes me very nostalgic. I honestly did not expect to see that in this video haha
Mr. Edwards! I loved that episode of Little House in the show and in the book!
I love the snow child book ! Since the first time I put my nose in it, i read it every winter 😍
Please make a makeup tutorial, especially for the blush you use! You always look so gorgeous, but today, I absolutely LOVE your blush!
Aww thank you! I don't know if I'm confident enough to do a makeup tutorial... I have no idea how to really use makeup.. But maybe someday! For my blush, I've actually been mixing two different blushes together recently :) Here are the links for the two:

I've never watched or read Little Women and am SO excited for 2020 to finally be the year I treat myself to doing both 🙏🏿💕

You look nice, Thanks, very helpful video, I already needed some festive & cozy vibe
Winters tale is my all time favorite movie for winter time! Was shocked when u mentioned it, no one talks about it 🥰🥰.
Have you seen The Family Stone? It’s one of my favorite holiday films. It has beautiful winter scenes, very cozy, and gives you all the feels!

One of the best books for winter that is so cozy is blue castle by L M montgomery
Withering heights is one of my faves, even over Pride and Prejudice
Fun! I am not much of a movie watcher but the last video you did with kind of gothic mystery movies inspired me and I watched every single one. These look like some good ones too. Also thinking of diving into Anne with an E.
Thanks for all the recommendations!
Je vous découvre, Merci pour ce beau partage de lecture et de films. J'adore cette ambiance ! 😍🌲🌰🍄
I’m watching the video on a rainy foggy morning and I couldn’t ask for anything more 🤎🤎🍂

Oh!! I’ve never heard of the snow child, thanks for the recommendation!
Thought of a few: The Holiday, the original Dr. Zhivago (not festive but contrast between dark sociological times of Winter vs freedom and Spring).
Mr.Edward! Me & my mom watch that every Christmas!
I have Molly too! I can't wait till my daughter is old enough for me to hand it down to her :)
My favorite classic Christmas/winter film is White Christmas!
