CHRISTMAS IN AMSTERDAM // What to do in Amsterdam in winter

[@JayPats]

We're going to Amsterdam over Christmas this year, looking forward to it!!!

[@aWanderlustForLife]

That's so exciting! I just want to let you know that the ice skating rink isn't on Museumplein this year since that's a big change! But eat some delicious oliebollen ☺️

[@JayPats]

Yes did see that - luckily I'm not too bothered by the ice skating - I can't skate anyway :) @@aWanderlustForLife Looking forward to eating ALL OF THE FOOD 😋 Already booked a light festival tour but it's a fully enclosed boat (with drinks included though)

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Food is the best part 😁

[@Rodirory]

Can't wait to spend my Chrismas holiday in Amsterdam🥰🥰🥰, who else is going in 2 weeks

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Have a wonderful time!

[@addynaruto1221]

awesome im heading to amsterdam for this christmas. ur fabulous!

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Have such a great time! I just want to let you know that the ice skating rink won't be on Museumplein this year 😕 But there are so many ways to have a fun trip, that you probably won't miss it!

[@danielwardwell914]

My takeaway from this video: What should you do in Amsterdam at Christmas? Eat.

[@aWanderlustForLife]

And Ice skate, yes 😂

[@scottman895]

Amsterdam looks quite festive around the holidays! The boat cruise with all the lights looks so amazing and peaceful! One of my favorite things to check out around this time of the year is to check out all the Christmas lights! Awesome video!

[@aWanderlustForLife]

It is so beautiful any time of year, but now is super extra pretty 😊

[@You-mr3lo]

If you like Amsterdam light festival, You should visit Glow in Eindhoven.

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Thank you for the tip!

[@everythingchar635]

Love this video I’m excited for my trip now!

[@aWanderlustForLife]

I'm excited for you!

[@NeoOnyx]

I've been subscribed to your channel for a while now and I really enjoy your cheerful demeanor and positivity (I can't believe this channel doesn't have more subscribers). As a Dutchman (from The Hague myself) I'm always interested in how expats experience our tiny country and it's fun to see what other cities are up to during the holidays. The light art looks awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Dankjewel! I adore this country and will be exploring more 😊 I really appreciate your sub but also your comment. It's always a bit scary to showcase somewhere knowing that I'm not native. If you haven't caught them yet, check out the Laag Holland videos--you might like those. Such a great area that I got to explore in unique ways.

[@NeoOnyx]

@@aWanderlustForLife I hardly ever watch Dutch vloggers showing the country or events. The fact that you're not native is what it makes it interesting for me. I will check out those video's too, if I haven't already :-)

[@416cyclestyle]

Thanks for sharing, looking to move to XXX so nice to see the winter weather has been mild. Hopefully one year the canals will freeze again.

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Congrats on the move! Typically it's mild. We might get one quick show a year. Mostly it will rain 😏

[@CookingAtPamsPlace]

I love your channel. Hope we can continue on the journey together. Thanks for sharing Amsterdam

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Thanks! Glad to have you here 😊

[@cermelem]

Jess, you've done a fantastic job with this video! Very well done! I wish I had some mulled wine right now... and a plane ticket to Schiphol.

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Thanks so much! I also wish I had some mulled wine right now 😋

[@helenlampe8607]

Great video 🎉❤

[@kayelle8005]

Watching these out of order and seeing the first time you tried pea soup versus one of your more recent videos where you are now a connoisseur 😁

[@aWanderlustForLife]

😂 best comment ever!

[@ACwebseries]

Hi Jess! Love this video. Great job. You’re positivity shines through.

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Hi! Thanks so much! ❤

[@KESipples]

Which model Tumi backpack are you wearing in this video? Looks like a great day bag!

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Thanks! I got it at an outlet in Hong Kong in 2018, so they don't make this one anymore that I can see and I have no idea what it is called but this one looks similar: TAHOE Nottaway Backpack

[@KESipples]

@@aWanderlustForLife Thank you!

[@cadydering1837]

Hi there! I'm planning a trip there around the end of January. Are the Christmas shops/ Sunday markets still operating? love the video :)

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Thanks! It's from 2 years ago and due to the current situation and a record high in infections, I'm not sure what you can expect this year. Please read official information before coming: www.government.nl/topics/coronavirus-covid-19/visiting-the-netherlands-from-abroad

[@kimmmir3696]

I wouldn’t expect too much Christmas theme at the end of January I’m afraid, I’m sure you’ll have a great time regardless!

[@regritchin9888]

It was a lovely video and I could do with a large slice of apple 🍏 pie with cream. Thanks a lot and A Happy New year to you and your better half : )

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Thank you! Happy new year to you, as well!

[@stormnuttall]

Which boat company did you use, it looks fantastic - our kids are soo excited to come from Australia after watching your video. Thank you

[@aWanderlustForLife]

I think it was Boat Amsterdam but I like to recommend Those Dam Boat Guys because they are smaller boats but you bring your own drinks and snacks.

[@stormnuttall]

@@aWanderlustForLife thank you so much. A recommendation is always appreciated. The heated seats is what I thought of as great in your video!

[@haraldmatosek7570]

hallo meine freunde amsterdam im winter dass ist sicher ein tolles erlebnis welcome to amsterdam❤😊

[@isabelm574]

Hermoso!!!

[@imtetelepta497]

I like your video yeah

[@TheRealMeowMeowShow]

Once I come back from my journey we gotta link up if ya want

[@brettpollock9114]

Who did you use for the light festival cruise?

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Hello From India🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@justthe3ofus123]

I wonder if the fried dough balls taste like beignets from New Orleans.

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Sadly, I've never been to New Orleans, so I can't compare.

[@wildgeesemediaagency]

I can't wait to get to some Christmas markets! You've made me feel so festive, thanks for sharing 😁new friend here

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Glad to hear it!

[@danbudiman]

My family and I will be arriving on Christmas Day morning and will depart the next day to Portugal, so we have quite many hours to spend on Christmas day. We will be staying near airport and thinking to go to Centraal but just a bit afraid that nothing is open. Any suggestion what would be best to do?

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Public transportation is still running and some of the famous museums are open. I'm sure you can find some great memories 😊

[@aWanderlustForLife]

But book your tickets asap!

[@danbudiman]

@@aWanderlustForLife thank you! From your reply, I take it the shops will be closed. We’ve been to Rijks before. I guess we can either go to Vondelpark or Madurodam

[@aWanderlustForLife]

We have a lot of museums worth visiting. I would check out the iamsterdam website for inspiration.

[@kuyanoly]

its great ,,,,i have a dream someday,,,if i came that place,,i will round it.

[@ajoychowhan2374]

Nice video

[@kayelle8005]

My one and only time in Amsterdam was December 2004. We did a canal cruise but I don’t remember there being a light festival. What our tour guide did say which I always wanted to fact check was that it is very common for Dutch people to keep their curtains open at night and to not worry about people seeing them in their homes. Is that true?

[@aWanderlustForLife]

True. Many have a frosted privacy strip but i think that more the younger people. Our sheer curtains are common too. But I remember one night Sean got home and was shocked because he walked by a window and accidently saw a, ummm, VERY intimate moment with completely naked people.

[@cathydominguez7822]

Amsterdam looks Amazing - So much to see and do!! I like how you walked around!! Do you give tours to visitors??

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Thanks! I don't usually goves tours but it may be possible to hire me for a private tour/experience (4 people or less). Best place to connect with me is on Instagram @awanderlustforlife when you know you are coming and I can see if I'm available. Have a great day!

[@읽어주는가상화폐핫뉴]

Wow awesome! Good luck from Korea! :)

[@chrisj3055]

Wonder what it's gonna look like this year

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Yeah, I think we are all curious!

[@macokreeftmeijer5874]

Wat vind je er van de haring en hoe die gegeten wordt

[@LuckyDippers]

Hi Jess, I just discovered your channel from your Peak Design 5L sling. I love it! In particular, your audio is soooo good. Something I need to work on. Is most of the audio from your Wireless Go, or are you just using the Rode video micro?

[@aWanderlustForLife]

Hi there! Yes, the Wireless Go is my go-to mic. I have the Micro in case anything happens to the Go, or if it's in a different setting and it's not just me speaking. It's completely changed my confidence with audio!

[@LuckyDippers]

@@aWanderlustForLife Interesting. Thanks for replying! By the way, I live down south in Maastricht -- and I definitely think there are some Christmas markets you'd like to check out here!

[@aWanderlustForLife]

I know of a few of them and hope to get down there maybe next year! The Netherlands has so much to offer!
