This was our first look at Christmas in the United Kingdom and WOW, WOW, WOW!! We loved this so much we want to grab our bags and head over NOW! We know there is so much more the UK has to offer in the way of Christmas, so please watch until the end of the video and help us with some more Christmas ideas for upcoming videos. We hope this video helps to put you in the Holiday spirit, it certainly did for us! Thanks so much for watching and click the Like button if you enjoyed this. Thanks everyone and Happy Holidays!

Morning ladies ☀️. The British are just so unique , they just have their own way of doing things, they are in a class of their own.

Those big hand picked Christmas trees you see in places like covent garden and Trafalgar Square are gifts from Norway. Every year the Norwegians hand pick and send us Christmas trees that are a certain amount of years old (I forgot how old they have to be) and they even pay to ship them over by sea. They give them to us for helping them in World War 2. They give them to several of our cities.

Honestly, you have no idea of how big, diverse, inclusive, welcoming, educational, historical, exciting, inspiring and brilliant London really is, there are so many hidden treasures and obvious treasures around the whole city that no other city on the planet could stand up to. I can't wait for the videos to come from when you visit London.

I live in London. I've been lucky enough to spend some time in other parts of the world at this time of year but personally, no where quite compares to Christmas in London. Merry Christmas ladies, you're welcome any time. 🎄❤🎅

I'm from London and so so proud of our Christmas times here I hope and pray that you will be able to visit our beautiful country

So glad you liked the idea of Christmas in London. The vlog you watched had a lot of 'younger people attractions' which you pay to go in. For free you can stroll around Covent Garden, Oxford Street etc (in the evening for best effect) and soak up the festive spirit. Definitely don't bother to hire a car for London because public transport - and your feet - get you anywhere.

Kew Gardens is one of the world’s most important botanical research centres. The grounds are stunning, and there’s even a royal palace (no longer used by the royals) inside that you can look round.

Oh that was so lovely! I was born in England but my family emigrated to Canada in 1965 when I was 14, I`ve never been able to go back, and even though I love Canada my heart will always be in England! I really love your vlogs (and you guys too!) Love and thanks from Vancouver Island Canada.

That was such a kind message for Brett. Happy Birthday, Brett.

I'm from London and so so proud of our Christmas times here. Piccadilly is impressively decorated, along with the shops and hotels in and around central London -

I don't know why but I get emotional seeing christmas lights, and hearing christmas songs... every year... right now I'm tearing up

Yes, more to see than shown. Fortnum & Mason's store in Piccadilly is impressively decorated, along with the shops and hotels in and around central London - you get a great feeling just walking along the streets, and that's free. 😃

This is one of the lovely things about KZfaq that it allows strangers a world apart to connect, share and build relationships. I have seen this on other channels which is so encouraging in an otherwise depressing world. To amuse you ladies - at the beginning of the video watched - there is a shot of the ruins of mediaeval building: that was part of the palace of the Bishop of Winchester who owned the land there (on the south side of the Thames) is called Clink Street because of the prison of that name that was once there - it was also called Gropecunt Lane (seriously) as there was much prostitution there.

Nothing gets me in the Christmas spirit like sitting at the front on the top deck of the bus, glancing up from my phone, and seeing the Regent St angels swoop over my head. It’s SO beautiful, and transforms a regular boring commute into something truly special. It leaves me breathless every single time. I’ve lived in London for almost a decade, and moments like those remind me of how lucky I am, and how much I love the city.

Born and grew up in London and I love it more than ever. Even with our horrid weather Christmas is still special here. I visited Fortnum and Mason this week and it was so Christmassy.

If you ever visit London I can highly recommend going on a tour of Tower Bridge. You get to walk along the walkways you see at the top of the bridge.

This has def got me in the Christmas spirit 😁 Kew Gardens is spectacular 😮 Happy birthday Brett 🎂🎉

Kew Gardens is well worth a visit at any time of the year. It's absolutely beautiful. Also all our museums and art galleries are free to enter.

Every night is cheese board night 🤤 🧀😂 And I heard you say you don’t know what Band Aid is, this requires a reaction video! In ‘84 there was an awful famine in Ethiopia. It was reported on the news here and the lead singer of the Boomtown Rats saw this and was appalled and rang a friend Midge Ure (from the band Ultravox) and they wrote a song called Do They Know It’s Christmas. They then recorded this song with a galaxy of stars, George Michael, Phil Collins, Bono, Sting, Duran Duran, Boy George and loads more. It was a huge hit and then inspired the Live Aid concert that happened in the summer of 85 and the USA’s charity record We Are The World.

All towns and cities in Britain put up lights for Christmas. It's lovely. Even the little village I grew up in would have some street decorations🎄

You know, you two lovely ladies are becoming regular viewing for me …I’m always looking out for your next production/ review …and your enthusiasm for almost everything British means if/ when you can get here you’ll have a fabulous time my only word of warning is London can be so very expensive…

Our parents live on through us Natasha, we are part of them and they are part of us, your mum is now seeing Christmas through your eyes. God bless you and God bless your parents xx 🙏

The 'car' that you thought "didn't look right" was a motorcycle.

Hey girls, nobody does Christmas like London over here, I walked through the whole of central London at Christmas time for my graduation in Mayfair, from Marylebone station to Covent Garden , the Christmas tree is frickin huge, bigger than Trafalgar Square tree that comes from Norway every year. The angels are phenomenal, if you like shoes or pumps haha St Christopher’s street with the big baubles is the place to go, as a jewellery designer, Mayfair is the place to go, Bulgari, Cartier, aspres, Gucci, Louis verton. It’s all here girls, you know you wanna jump on the next bird and check it out. Christmas has never been a particularly great time for me either, for personal reasons, but the lights alone bring a little smile. My heart and love go out to you both this Christmas. Peace love and unity faith hope and charity to those who may be on the streets in USA.

It's warming up to Christmas, here. Adverts for Christmas at restaurants started a month or so ago, that's fine. But a few years ago, I opened the door to some carol singers (really bad ones 😬😬😬😬) and said... "Guys, it's November 15th" 🤣 Thanks, ladies.

Morning ladies if you want to see this years London Christmas you need to check out Free tours by foot -London they are doing a Christmas series looking at the lights and shops etc. So beautiful

Didn't realise it's your first time looking at London, though had noticed you have lots of viewers that steer you to the North only telling you not to bother with the south. There is a reason it's well visited, it is an amazing city. Much of the south has amazing things to visit. Winter wonderland I see has a Wham Last Christmas music video recreation this year.

I've lived in London all my life and it's crazy how much of this stuff I've been to, walked on and seen without a second thought while just killing time between my university lessons.

It’s so nice to hear someone being positive about us. Thank you ladies. I grew up in London but moved away when l was 11. It is still my favourite place to visit. There is no where else like it.

Ladies, have you ever been to the UK? If not, then get over here!!!!!! Thanks again for the videos and happy birthday Brett!

Thoroughly enjoyed this ladies,thankyou!I've never been to London at Christmas time.Theres also a Northern seaside resort called Blackpool which is well known for its winter lights xx

I'm so glad you reviewed this, as I have seen this video due to the fact that you have reviewed this channel videos before, yes London does do it big, but you'll find that many places in UK has very similar events (will send links via pm) just not as big as London. Hopefully you'll experience this when you come over to the UK.

Lovely to hear u talk of your mum, Natasha. My little ma passed in January 2018 so I get how u feel. Mum & I spent a lot of time in London and I worked there for a while. This video is beautiful. Thank u. 💕

That was a great video. I’m from Yorkshire and I’ve been to London twice, but not at Christmas. I’m from Leeds, one of the larger cities but now live in a village. Since I have had Fibromyalgia I have struggled in busy places so I rely an TV and KZfaq to see all the festive sites.

My Dad used to pick up our Christmas turkey in Leadenhall market every year as we only lived just over Tower Bridge. The museum district in London is amazing any time of year , the Natural History and the Victoria and Albert museums are world class !! There are so many other places to visit in London at Christmas, Borough market , Portabello market, Camden market to name a few, so, so many more !! Just have fun !!!!

There is also the Norwegian Christmas Tree, a tree that is donated by the Norwegian People in gratitude for the shelter that they gave the Norwegians during World War Two. Travel to Europe is relatively cheap and flying from Stansted, you could visit either Cologne, Berlin or Bremen Christmas Markets for the day, flying back late in the evening. To be honest, NO ONE does a Christmas Market better than the Germans.

I wasn't feeling Christmas-y at all until now, thank you ladies!!! Don't worry, that Christmas Spirit will be back in your heart ♥

This was a lovely video, Christmas in London is beautiful, love all the lights, Christmas markets and winter wonderland, Tower bridge looks beautiful at night as it all lights up, i've never been to Kew gardens but thats now on my bucket list that looked amazing! I'm not really interested in Harry Potter but bet that is popular. There are quite a few German Christmas markets in other Cities across England & the UK, another American couple went to the Birmingham one recently and enjoyed it. Happy birthday to Brett.

I've lived in London all my life and never heard of Kew Gardens lol certainly need to visit now!

I’m now living in Canada and this video made me feel really homesick. London really knows how to put on a show. Hope you ladies get to visit the UK, you know such a lot about our country now and I would love to see your reactions when you are actually there. Keep up the good work, this was a great video, but then I enjoy all your videos. Thanks girls. Happy birthday Brett.

I remember as a child seeing all these lights. I grew up in London and love what they do for Christmas

Finally... a reaction to London There is sooooo much for you to check out. In my opinion; it is one of the best Cities, in the world! PS. Happy Birthday Brett!

I am a Christmas NUT! I love everything about Christmas! The lights were absolutely stunning!! A beautiful tour of Christmas in London!

It was in the 80s that I went to London at Christmastime, and I agree leaves a lasting impression you will never forget.

London is so beautiful at Christmas. The video doesn’t do the street lights justice. It’s stunning.

Thank you for this amazing video. I have seen the lights on the main London shopping streets, but had no idea about the Christmas events featured here, so I too have learnt a lot. Many cities in the UK have held Christmas markets for several years now, featuring stalls selling German and other European food, decorations and gifts, as well a British makers.

Loved the video, you always put a smile on my face. Please do more London videos because this one was awesome!

I like holiday vidios. I love in uk but never been to London for xmas markets.

I lived in London between 2006-2010 and it is truely magical at Christmas time…it suits London so well

I know how you feel in regards to the loss of your mum Natasha I lost mine Boxing Day 2013 the first few yrs are the hardest and you learn to live without her but you hold those cherished memories close as they do help to keep you going ❤

Ladies this has nothing to do with Christmas but you mentioned a Queen concert in Hyde Park. I think you'd enjoy hearing the crowd at a Greenday concert singing Bohemian Rhapsody in harmony during the bands break. It's amazing 🙂

You lovely ladies definitely need to do some more reactions to London and the south of England. It is so beautiful down here, we are overflowing with history because, since William the Conqueror invaded, London has been the seat of power for England. The south has always been the point of invasion so we've got tons of fortifications from the Romans onwards to stop the next lot invading. The landscape is utterly beautiful. You go from the flat, pure skylines of the fens in the East to the rolling green chalk Downland in the Southeast across to the wiggly lanes, moors and stunning beaches of the Southwest. There's also lots of beautiful historic cities to visit, Norwich, Canterbury, Brighton, etc and then you've got all the picturesque little postcard villages. And to top it all off you've got the Isle of Wight which is what England used to be like in the 50's. It's an island stuck in a different era. It's fabulous.

Need to do a video on Christmas Panto. It will be a great culture shock!

Hi Ladies, thanks for a very apropos video, with Advent Sunday approaching in three days (Nov 27th this year). As a boy attending a boarding choir school in Westminster in the late 50s/early 60s, it was a thrill for a bunch of we choristers to window shop and stroll to see the lights on Regent Street. Back then, I think this was the only street to have lights, which even then had an angel theme. Regent St and Lower Regent St were popularly known as The Mile of Style back then. We would saunter from window to window after having sung Evensong, in our short-trousered school uniforms, navy gaberdines, and school caps. Dickens & Jones and Liberty's stand out in my memory as having the best seasonal window displays, but of course Hamley's (the world's largest toy store) was the focus of most of our attention. Our Latin master, even back then being in his 70s, told us he first visited Hamleys in the 1890s! Thanks for the memories, ladies. I'm not British, but am of Welsh ancestry, attended school there, and have three sons living or studying there today. You might care to look at a short video about Christmas at Winchester Cathedral, England's capital before London (and where my yongest was a chorister), and perhaps look at the Hogmanay (New Year) celebrations in Edinburgh (particularly as you guys love fire!). Be blessed.

Hi Ladies, I myself am not keen on Harry Potter, when crossing Tower Bridge, if you had gone left you would have entered into Dickensian London, where it looks like you are back in the 18th century especially at Christmas, with cafe's and plenty of shops right by the Thames. London is a wonderful city.

All major London museums (and national museums around the country) are free

Totally awesome reminds me of when I lived there i was actually born in London. Happy birthday Brett I really hope you have an amazing day my amazing friend.

Carnaby Street is the 60’s iconic street where fashion was key! They like to keep the peace and love motif every Christmas! The Beatles, The Stones, Twiggy etc., all shopped here.

Happy birthday, Brett! Love how excited you were by the Christmas lights, ladies. 😄

I know that l am biased, being London born and bred, but there is something so magical about London. I am so glad that you are seeing it for yourselves.

So glad you enjoyed looking at Christmas innLondon. I don’t live in London but we have lots of light and events going on here in my hometown too. As I live by the seaside one of our highlights is Santa riding along the promenade.

London's Leadenhall Market was featured as part of Diagon Alley in Harry Potter.

Happy Birthday Brett! Hope its a great one

Loved all of this… we never miss the London lights - helped along of course by a little liquid refreshment on the way… Kew Gardens deserves a reaction all of its’ own. A short hop from central and makes a great day out.

I live a short train ride away from London and went to Christmas at Kew on Friday and it was beautiful! I’m going back in February for the orchid festival

I love London but I never go there during Christmas time as I find it just a little bit overwhelming. We took our kids on year to see the lights many moons ago.

Great video! Loved your reactions. I live in London not far from Kew Gardens and the Christmas at Kew is just amazing and magical! Tuesday going to Covent Garden and some Christmas markets which are dotted around so many places. Then I’m seeing Aled Jones and Russell Watson Christmas show and instead of getting the tube home we’re going by bus to see more lights on the way. Christmas in London cannot be beat! 🎄😍

I’ve never been to Christmas in London. I will now have to go sometime. Amazing, beautiful, and emotional. Thank you so so very much for unexpected but awesome mention of me in the video, very nice, a wonderful surprise!! ❤ Happy Birthday Brett!!! Awesome video ladies, thank you!! Much love, and take care. xxx

Our son Chris has just returned from this event. The apartment in Paddington he and his friend rented cost £40 a night each (about $50). He loved it and won 2 massive soft toys.

I love Christmas time in London and tend to go out a lot and walk around the christmas markets with all the sparkling lights everywhere and places like Oxford Street although it is busy at that time but i just love the atmosphere of it all,I must say i got a bit emotional when you mentioned your mother regarding leadenhall Market and seeing you was upset,i really hope that you do find your christmas spirit at some point in the near future 🙏,love to you both💖 and also happy belated birthday to Brett 🍻🥂🍾

Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park is amazing, me and my friends love it! The ice bar, karaoke rooms, rides, food, atmosphere - it’s all incredible. It’s expensive but it’s such a fun day out. Christmas in London still feels special, even after all these years. South bank Christmas market is a good stop too. Edit: I can’t believe you don’t know what Band Aid is! You should definitely listen to the Christmas song and look at our big the Christmas number 1 is. Christmas ads are also a really big deal.

Watching this video after visiting the Christmas market here in Manchester England today. Love the smells and the noise it really sets the feeling for the start of the Christmas season . This weekend I will be starting to decorate my home for the season. I am a single guy who will be 70 in a few months but I still have 4 Christmas trees around my home 2 of them being new this year. Plus one will be a complete new colour scheme in my lounge. I still love Christmas now as much as I did as a child. Take care ladies and enjoy the holiday season .

Cheese boards are cheeses and fruits. Charcuterie is preserved meat, pates, and cheeses. It's a French word which translates into delicatessen which means products of a pork butcher.

Loved this one, got me in the Christmas spirit lve been to London many times but not around Christmas time for decades . I am glad you found some joy in it too

Just want to thanks for your continued brilliant reactions. I was having a terrible morning, took 5 mins out to decompress by watching this, and I’m feeling happy again. Thanks for being my therapy ladies 🥰

London is spectacular at Christmas time. Here´s one Londoner that´s travelling home for the festivities (I work overseas). Winter Wonderland is amazing, if a little expensive, Kew Gardens is staggeringly beautiful and the lights in London´s shopping area are just mind blowing. I really hope you get to go there to experience all of it! And Linda Podd, my dad was also a fire chief in London!

Hi girls. Great video. Yes Christmas markets have become common in the UK over the last few decades. They seem to have in the modern form come from Germany and still have a very continental style. One of the biggest & best occurs in York, but many other places have their own, as big or small as local conditions allow. Most places large & small have lights & Christmas trees etc. The London displays vary each year, so what is seen in this video may be quite different in another year. Happy Holidays, or rather as we prefer Merry Christmas!

London is my hometown, and it was so good to see how much you enjoyed looking at it during Christmas time. x

This Brish lady enjoys your reactions, and you are always so positive and pleasant!

Looking forward to bonus Friday. Xx

The history of Christmas Markets in London goes back hundreds of years. Back in time the River Thames would freeze... They would hold the market actually on the ice and they also had ice-skating on the river too. A charcutery board is usually meats, cheeses, pickles, fruits. Whereas a cheese board is usually just cheeses, sometimes butter & fruit like grapes & prunes or figs. Both are usually served with a basket containing a selection of crackers.

The Xmas tree in Trafalgar Sq is a gift from the city of Oslo to thank the UK for all they did during WW2

Although I’m not a fan of Christmas, myself, I love London at Christmas. Amazing day out.

I watch a lot of reaction videos, but I must say I always enjoy yours. It's really nice to see such a nice reaction to seeing our country.

Regarding museums, most museums in London are FREE (courtesy of us, the British taxpayer...you're welcome!) although most request a donation (and in tru British fashion, this isn't "in your face"), and are well worth going to. This includes the British Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, the Victoria and Albert museum, the National Gallery, the Tate, the Tate Modern, the Tate Britain, the Museum of London, the Imperial War Museum, the National Maritime Museum, Guildhall, the Wellcome collection, the British Library, the Army museum.....Many of these are world class. Free museums funded by the government can be found all over the country, including the National Railway museum in York, and even "Big Pit", an old coal mine in Wales....

Another fantastic video by you 2 amazing ladies. Christmas in London is amazing never been but will go for a visit soon I'm sure. Kew Gardens always have an amazing display every year.

Well, that was superb! 👍

I'm not in London for Christmas this year but will be going over the New Year, visiting my son and family. I've not been to Winter Wonderland but Kew Gardens is fantastic.

HI Girls DEBBIE HERE FROM SOUTH WALES This year I can totally empathise with Natasha as my sister and myself recently lost our mother, she passed on 10 October and we are facing our first Christmas without her and oh boy dis she love Christmas ir egat, she made us special for us growing up.

Hi ladies, belated happy thanksgiving. I know that Belgium Christmas markets are very good and I think there's video's of that. Another great video thanks Natasha and Debbie 💖😁

Good to know you guys enjoyed thanksgiving - Thanks for the awesome video too

love you girls, keep up the good videos and home you come to England and get to see London at Christmas.

Christmas in uk ie London is amazing, I live in the 2nd city in the uk Birmingham,and we do have an amazing German Christmas market which is very big. Other cities like Manchester have brilliant festive markets as well xxx

You should check out band aid Natasha, it was the first artist collab song made to help the people in Ethiopia, the following year you had USA for Africa and then we combined for Live Aid, we still play Band Aid every Christmas is one of our big go to Christmas songs.

I'm from Birmingham, Warwickshire and keep getting told it's in the West Midlands now. Politically, yes but they can sod off. For a month we have the biggest German Market outside of Germany and lots of German people come over to work it. One of my younger brothers never liked and would go to Munich or Berlin with his wife for a long weekend. Sadly he passed away last year and it would have been his birthday on the 10th December so we'll all go for a meal to celebrate his life.

So yeah, in the UK generally government owned museums are free to enter, but they do request donations. This was introduced just over 20 years ago to make sure that museums were cheap educational entertainment available to everyone regardless of income or background.

Great choice 👌 very festive, something I'm struggling with a bit this year so thanks for this, made me feel a bit better at this time of year xx

You’ve done the right thing by not starting with London, but, honestly, it is a fine fine city and such a joy at Christmas. So very pretty.

Thank you ladies for another great video. I live near York and their Christmas market has just started. I shall be going to that. They are just such a good way to get into the "Christmas spirit"!!
