this melted my heart a lil' bit, Alan's taking one for the team and then rowan sharing the gifts aww

[@nitorishogiplayer3465]

Adams reaction to Ellie got me laughing. This episode is so wholesome... I'm probably missing the 2016 reference though...

[@Nic0rasu]

Me too. I looked up to all videos and there wasn't 2016 boring Christmas. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

@@Nic0rasu yeah because Christmas 2016 was so horrible, they couldn’t upload the video.

@@KEKMaster3000 Some of us got to see it, but the incident was so bad it violated KZbin's terms of service and had to be removed.

I initially anticipated that I were to go to the Christmas markets sometime during the week as I was in Berlin, on holidays. but due to the fact I was awfully sick, my ex-girlfriend was reluctant that I went, we kind of just stayed in the hotel during our time in Berlin together unfortunately. I am glad I did not have to witness that stuff

[@Stoatly4]

​@aethere4l Actually or not really?

[@TobseBockt]

I love how alan cares even after all the shit he lived through over the years. Such a good soul !

[@xitaris5981]

Eh, it's more like self-preservation. Remember the flashback?

[@TobseBockt]

@@xitaris5981 yeah ok. Valid point.

[@coolanimegirls]

Even Rowan is into the magic of Christmas lol. Alan doing this for him and Rowan being like an excited child was adorable

[@Rhianalanthula]

Initially I thought Adam would be the one who believed in Santa and Rowan dressed up, based on the Tooth Fairy. Seems Adam does believe too, and Alan takes dressing up to a whole new level.

[@De4dlnside]

Alan's face when Rowan said Dingo 😂🤣 edit: 2:43

[@jeod96]

Bored is probably my most favorite on KZbin hands down. I always keep checking back for more, you are all so talented and hilarious! I love the consistency as well with Rowan trying to push Dingo still!

[@Onslaught-Starts]

The slow dawning realisation, that Rowan schedueled everyone in to work on Xmas day though...

[@Colonel_Klink]

I was like 7 years old when my mom bought a book for my brother, the same book he got from Santa. Broke my sweet little child heart.

[@Koza6969]

So he got two same books, nice

[@antipoti]

This was one of the most wholesome episodes. Even Rowan wasn't a jerk. 😇

[@kylejolly7751]

This was actually endearing. I am so used to my expectations being subverted that I did not expect this and it was great.

[@CapnMcRummy]

Almost cried tears of happiness at how wholesome that was. Thank you for all the amazing videos you lot have gifted us this year. Merry Christmas Viva La Dirt League 🍻

[@TheZamaron]

Was not expecting the ending for Rowan to SHARE the presents or be excited for things like socks and deodorant, pretty wholesome.

[@Postpar]

there are always treats in the captions. the "that shits dingo(tm)" was great

[@BG.........]

The fact Alan put in that much effort is wholesome

[@trigleralucerna]

man filming this must have been soo much fun and good guy Alan saves X-mas once again

[@marianns7337]

This put a smile on my face, Rowan's reaction was priceless. The sharing of presents was sweet. Merry Christmas to you all. Keep up the great work.

Rowan being Adam's Tooth Fairy, Alan being Rowan's Santa. 😁 It's time for Ellie to step up!

They're celebrating Christmas not with their families, but with each other at work... I'm beginning to think Playtech is actually a cult. Merry Christmas guys and thanks for a wonderful year of content. 🎄😊

Merry Christmas! Oh gosh that was so wholesome. Alan learned his lesson from Adam's tooth fairy thing. Real hero

[@cannibalbananas]

lol! love the closed captioning: "The sounds of Alan's nightmares" "Alan dying a little bit inside" 😂😂 poor Alan 😥

It seems Alan has fully embraced the madness that is working at playtech and is now just going above and beyond to bring joy to all the crazy ❤love seeing good boy Rowan sharing his toys 🥰 and of course, the return of the shop floor Christmas playlist brings gladness and horror to hearts meek and bold

This video is really heartwarming. Props to Alan for being so nice.

Who knew Allan and Rowan can one day be wholesome to eachother!

Of course they can. Bored are so focused on Rowan annoying side thesedays that you guys forgot how Alan and Rowan is actually really good friend in this series. Just take a look again at the first 30 episodes or so. 😉

Ahhh! Very wholesome indeed. I love this time of year. I can’t wait to give gifts to my friends family. Now that I’m older I understand way it’s fun to give presents instead of receiving. It makes feel good and happy.

[@identity9984]

Watch it with subtitles - thank you SO much VLDL for using every medium available to express your humor 😂

The grudging look of acceptance when Rowan used his catchphrase. Merry Christmas VLDL ✌🏽😎
