As a Japanese, it’s so refreshing to see Americans going to a store to get “regular” Japanese food not tailored for non-Japanese. It somehow warmed my heart. I sometimes go to a shopping mall to buy and enjoy American snacks and condiments, although they are bit pricey. And I was pleasantly surprised to hear you describe those chocolate snacks like “ a hint of sweet!” For us Japanese, they are sweet enough 😊 I hope you don’t find my comment offensive. .. I’m still learning English. I have a little tip for cooking Japanese style curry, when you combine a few curry mix brands together, you can enjoy more rich flavored curry. Thank you for this vlogmas videos.
Watching everyone’s vlogmas who’s somewhere hot has me so jealous. It’s been below freezing and snowing here and I’m dying to get back to somewhere hot so I’m vicariously living through these vlogs
omg Carrie when you mentioned when one outing takes it out of you, that has been me for the last two years since the pandemic started!! even going to the grocery store and running a couple errands makes me exhausted by the time I get home. Idk if it's LA traffic or just the energy it takes but I've definitely noticed, so you're not alone!
Shin ramen is my favorite too! I usually don't put all the spice in, maybe about 80% of it. I add extra things to mine, like a hunk of shredded cabbage, mushrooms, a splash of sesame oil, smaller splash of soy sauce, sesame seeds, and a poached egg. And the secret ingredient--a tablespoon of dill pickle relish. Every syllable in a Japanese word receives equal stress (at least when compared to English). So it's not ra-MOO-ne, it's ra-mu-ne. It sounds similar to "lemonade."
When you guys almost skipped Noel Diary bc of the dog I was like nooo she’s fine 😂 but also understandable. Such a great addition to the corny Christmas movies collection on Netflix.
Love seeing your Asian market haul! My husband and I just went today too and just got some ramen and soy sauce, but we were ready to impulse buy many, many other things!
I saw those hot chocolate spoons at target and thought that the only way those would be chocolatey enough is to stir them into a cup of already made hot chocolate just to add some additional flavors to them. :)
I commented this on your other vlogmas video but I just wanted to say it again, in case it helps: it took me about a month, maybe 6 weeks to like my lips after I got filler. I cried about it every week because I couldn’t believe I spent so much money to hate them. It took a long time for them to look like they belonged on my face and now I love them so much that I’m getting it done again. I hope that is also the case for you, but either way I think you look beautiful!!!! 🤍🤍🤍
Some of my Hmart faves are: melona ice cream bars, matdosang (in the chips but it's a sweet peanut snack), okarto chips, choco pies (really wanna try banana and matcha flavors) and these strawberry shortcake sammies that live near the choco pies. LOVE those samancos too, esp the red bean ones. There are also some toaster strudel like ones that you eat hot that are super good too! Anyway, loving the vlogs! Merry Christmastime to you and Drew both!
I watched Christmas with You last night with my friends and we had it on basically as background noise for our wine night - it was hilariously horrible 😂 but I do love Freddie.
I have got to see that Lindsay Lohan Christmas movie 😆 cheesy movies are a great way to kick off the season! I just watched The Mistle-tones last night and it’s my favorite 😍
Re chocolate Ritz--haven't you ever made that recipe where you dip Ritz in chocolate? It's been around forever--since the 90s at least. You have to try it. My mom used to make it as a Christmas treat. You put peanut butter between 2 ritz crackers and dip the little sandwich in chocolate. It's so incredibly good.
Curry ramen is in my top 3 for sure,(i've actually never seen it with an english label before) Also the buddak pink one isn't that spicy. it's the red and black ones to stay away from. unless you real like spice. Also did you know u can buy those in sauce form.. so good. shin ramen is my fav too!
I love trying snacks from around the world! I used to have a subscription to Universal Yums which would send me a box of treats from a different country every month with a write up on the snack and information about the country!
You and Drew are such a beautiful couple ❤ the other night I watched the Christmas Calendar and Love Hard (both with actors from the vampire diaries) and after watching the cringey Lindsey Lohan one I was prepared for more of that, but they were actually really nice movies 🥰
Verve coffee is from my hometown of Santa Cruz, California. Woot woot. I'm currently living in SEA, in Malaysia and things here are super sweet and they LOVE sugar. Many things you show here are readily available and also all the candies you love from England. Best of all worlds?
I like to get the melting chocolate or white chocolate or almond bark and then dip peanut butter ritz bits sandwiches into it. ALWAYS worth a little mess.
check the ingredients on your kewpie!! the squishy bag is the version made for japanese markets and has msg, the harder bottle is the american formulation without msg (because we are dumb and afraid of flavor)
I think one of my favorite things about you is the way you eat. It’s weird.. but I feel like I have a number that equals each expression you make when you eat. Love
Eats tteokbokki for lunch; immediately goes to the store to buy tteokbokki for home. Yep, sounds about right. Also, I made my deviled eggs with Kewpie mayo and furikake this year and everybody lost their shit in the best way, so you should try
Carrie- it looks like you might have picture rail in your apartment.. I have an 100+ year old house with picture rail and we are able to hang up large pieces of art without drilling into the wall. Some people don't love the look but I think it makes my home look like a museum!
I don’t love my lips with filler or volume either but I tried doing Botox around my lips (like a lip flip) and I love it! It just helps your lips to stand up naturally if you want to try it in the future ❤️
If you put the home run balls in the air fryer for 3 mins, they taste like chocolate chip cookies! I prefer them this way rather than straight out of the bag.
Okay I love the horrible cheesey Christmas movies just as much as the next peep but that new one with Freddie Prince Jr. is BAAAAADDDDD. Like I couldn't even finish it 🤣. Also his poor hairline... 😅
I run one errand or do one thing for the day and I feel like I I cannot accomplish much more in a single day. Currently I'm working full time and going to grad school (in person) and I have no idea how I'm swinging it because the pandemic has exhausted me.
I knew the voice sounded familiar in the song from your flea market montage and it’s Jordy, the boyfriend of one of my other favourite RUclipsrs (Michel Janse)!
I love my Christmas movies extra cheesy so I loved the Lindsay Lohan movie. I was hoping you were going to watch the Freddy Prinze Jr movie. I thought Noel Diary was so boring. It put me to sleep and I regretted watching it 😄.
Tell him to crack an egg and add green onion after the Roman is cooked… it is how they eat them in Korea. We don’t have a proper hmart here, buuut I am lucky enough to get homemade Korean food all I want from my husband’s family (well mine now)!!!
Japanese - Nami is one of my favorites channels too! I think I’ve watched every single one of Imamu Room’s videos lol - and Kimono Mom’s Kitchen too!! I also love Tokyo Hare’s grocery shopping videos. Korean - I watch Dyeong and Nebom a lot! Their style of video helps my brain unwind 💗
@@CarrieDaytonVlogs I agree- silent vlogs are so relaxing for my mind. I’ll have to check out the other people you watch. Also- did you see Nami is moving to a new apartment? So happy for her 😊

❤ love this comment!
This comment made me smile!! Thank you for being here and for watching. I will definitely try mixing curry together sometime 🥰
As a healthcare worker I shamelessly love my Christmas movies. Work is horror enough I just want predictable happy endings 😂.
Ok but Drew's fuzzy houndstooth jacket is literally everything omg
Watching everyone’s vlogmas who’s somewhere hot has me so jealous. It’s been below freezing and snowing here and I’m dying to get back to somewhere hot so I’m vicariously living through these vlogs
I love seeing the love and joy that you and Drew have for each other.

Same, I get worn out going to one or two place these days. Since pandemy I just can’t do as much. I love your Christmas vlogs!
So glad you decided to do vlogmas. These videos make me happy 😃
the captioning is *chefs kiss - thanks for being an inclusive queen

H-Mart is life!!! The brown sugar milk tea flavor of the ice cream fish is soooo amazing too
oh my gosh I watch spirit of christmas every year. SO GOOD 😂

Love watching the Netflix Christmas movies. They just make me happy nothing beats it
I look forward to your vlogmas intro song every year 🥰

Thank you so much for your comments about this 💘 everyone has helped me feel sooo much better!!
honestly asking - isn't it easier (and healthier) to work on your acceptance if you don't like your lips than go through this?
@@szpaqus it's certainly not easier lol
@@scandisnowgirl3696 ok, you got me :p it's not easier but in a long run it can bring so much more happiness and less pain if we go acceptance road.
@@szpaqus orrrr let people do what they want with their own bodies and you do you?
Spirit of Christmas is a freakin bop lol.. I love your decor this year! Such nostalgic vibes ❤️
I actually really like that movie 😂
Some of my Hmart faves are: melona ice cream bars, matdosang (in the chips but it's a sweet peanut snack), okarto chips, choco pies (really wanna try banana and matcha flavors) and these strawberry shortcake sammies that live near the choco pies.

Toast for dinner is just where its at sometimes! Glad to know I'm not the only one. 😂
Loving your hair this colour, with the waves especially the colours look so nice together.
Literally same about getting so tired after a small outing 😂😂 getting groceries is a tiring errand for me now
I watched Christmas with You last night with my friends and we had it on basically as background noise for our wine night - it was hilariously horrible 😂 but I do love Freddie.
Omg we’ve since watched it….it was so bad 😂😂😂 but so good lol!
I have got to see that Lindsay Lohan Christmas movie 😆 cheesy movies are a great way to kick off the season! I just watched The Mistle-tones last night and it’s my favorite 😍
I liked it. Feel good cheesy! I didn’t care for A Noel Diary, the characters were unlikeable to me, and the writing was extra bad.
Love your Vlogmas! Also, thanks for previously replying to me about your Fenty lip gloss! I’m hooked on it now!
Jealous of your weather - it’s SNOWING here in France 🇫🇷 ❄️⛷

Yes after one outing I need a nap too ,so tired.
Omg the spirit of Christmas is SO good!! Thank you for reminding me!
I also get tired after going out! I also don't like crowded places anymore....
The Spirit of Christmas is my favorite! Lol
Curry ramen is in my top 3 for sure,(i've actually never seen it with an english label before) Also the buddak pink one isn't that spicy. it's the red and black ones to stay away from. unless you real like spice. Also did you know u can buy those in sauce form.. so good. shin ramen is my fav too!

The spirit of Christmas is one of my faves tooo lol
Love a grocery haul. Always find I get good ideas for food to try from looking at what other people pick up.
I, too, love the movie where she boinks the Christmas Ghost. The Spirit of Christmas is where it's at!
omg YES to The Spirit of Christmas lmao. It's so fun and ridiculous
I’m so happy to see so many Asian food and treats. I love tteokbokki, especially with noodles and fish cakes (yummm my mouth is watering)!
Exhaustion after an outing, yes, same, unfortunately :(
If you’re in need of more bad Xmas movies: The Christmas Prince on Netflix is so bad and there’s THREE movies. What an absolute gift
We watched all 3 in one night during vlogmas 2019 I wanna say - it was a RIDE 😂😂😂
I was pleasantly surprised at that movie too! Highly recommend!!!
the way drew opened the aerial chips was so chaotic im so stressed 😭
You and Drew are such a beautiful couple ❤ the other night I watched the Christmas Calendar and Love Hard (both with actors from the vampire diaries) and after watching the cringey Lindsey Lohan one I was prepared for more of that, but they were actually really nice movies 🥰
The Spirit of Christmas is the BEST!!! so hilarious

Looove the Samanco ice creams! Highly recommend the red bean flavor if you haven’t tried that one!
I like to get the melting chocolate or white chocolate or almond bark and then dip peanut butter ritz bits sandwiches into it. ALWAYS worth a little mess.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one wiped out by any outing now!
I love spirit of Christmas!!!
Heyy! Where are those glasses you had during the movie night from? They’re soo cute
definitely agree with the noel diary!! it was super cute
I grew up eat that icecream, i would call it fishy icecream...i still call it that lol but the red bean and green tea flavors are the BEST
check the ingredients on your kewpie!! the squishy bag is the version made for japanese markets and has msg, the harder bottle is the american formulation without msg (because we are dumb and afraid of flavor)
You simply are my favorite RUclips couple❤
I can’t believe it’s that time of the year time flies…
That’s so funny. We watched the same two Christmas movies this weekend. Both were very good.
I think one of my favorite things about you is the way you eat. It’s weird.. but I feel like I have a number that equals each expression you make when you eat. Love
Where is the top from you are wearing when you are making toast???
Did you see the one called last Christmas?it’s a good one, hi Layla, hi moo
Also you must watch spirited! It’s so good!
Eats tteokbokki for lunch; immediately goes to the store to buy tteokbokki for home. Yep, sounds about right. Also, I made my deviled eggs with Kewpie mayo and furikake this year and everybody lost their shit in the best way, so you should try
I caught that! 😂 I have my “poopy” jacket on right now its so comfy and warm! It’s lavender and white checkered 💜🤍
I love the tiktok clips being added in 🎉❤😂
Ok question.. what the heck is Hmart? lol I'm Canadian and never heard of it before. 😊
Carrie- it looks like you might have picture rail in your apartment.. I have an 100+ year old house with picture rail and we are able to hang up large pieces of art without drilling into the wall. Some people don't love the look but I think it makes my home look like a museum!
Couple of bad Christmas but fun to make fun of plus dogs movies to watch are 12 pups for Christmas and 12 dog days till Christmas
Yes to the exhaustion anytime I go out.
I’m 67 and retired and I can only do one big thing a day. Shopping, doctor appointment, a luncheon, etc and then I need a nap!
where is your nirvana pink sweater from? I love it!
I don’t love my lips with filler or volume either but I tried doing Botox around my lips (like a lip flip) and I love it! It just helps your lips to stand up naturally if you want to try it in the future ❤️
I love Falling for Christmas 😂😂
You guys should do an updated British shows reviews!
Carrie! Have you watched A Clüsterfünke Christmas?! Comedy Central from last week. It’s fun!
If you put the home run balls in the air fryer for 3 mins, they taste like chocolate chip cookies! I prefer them this way rather than straight out of the bag.
I’m forever calling them poopy jackets 😂😂😂
Hmart is bomb! Love finding and trying out new snacks too 😊😊😊
Okay I love the horrible cheesey Christmas movies just as much as the next peep but that new one with Freddie Prince Jr. is BAAAAADDDDD. Like I couldn't even finish it 🤣. Also his poor hairline... 😅
The Noel diary made me so upset like miss gurl had a whole fiancé the whole time 😂😂
Women's Network hallmark type Christmas movies all Christmas long 🙌🏻
I also liked the Noel Diary.
Since you watched the Lindsey Lohan movie, I HIGHLY suggest KennieJD’s review on it for her “Bad Movie and a Beat” series because I was in tears
Those Korean churro snacks are so good!
They are AMAZING 🤤
I run one errand or do one thing for the day and I feel like I I cannot accomplish much more in a single day. Currently I'm working full time and going to grad school (in person) and I have no idea how I'm swinging it because the pandemic has exhausted me.
Love hard on Netflix is A cute Xmas movie
The song!!! ❤
The Bolduc carbonara is super spicy... I made the same mistake of assuming... but everything from that brand is spicy. Tasty, but spicy.
omg i have the same pink nirvana sweatshirt - i thrifted it like a month ago and its my favourite thing in the world its so comfy!
currently further video and i fell the same - being out and about is EXHAUSTING and funilly enough i too am eating toast for dinner lmao
Who is singing the song about the Christmas song saying sweaters?
yesss shin is superior
I knew the voice sounded familiar in the song from your flea market montage and it’s Jordy, the boyfriend of one of my other favourite RUclipsrs (Michel Janse)!
Omg did you make the disco title card?? So cute.
Edit: yours and Drew’s lil hyped up snack dance after eating the Churroz LOLLLL (13:01)
I hate the cold weather here in Belgium. We might get snow 2morrow 😢

I always thought you just used those spoons in a cup of actual hot chocolate to stir it in...
I actually really liked the Noelle Diary’s- I could’ve used a longer ending ❤😍
Okay I think your lips look good! Just listen to the Veggie Tales song “I Love my Lips” to get in the right mood!! 😂😂❤❤
Who are some of the Korean and Japanese girls you watch?
I love plan d and nami.
They give me such good cooking inspo.
