CHRISTMAS AT LIBERTY & JOHN LEWIS | Vlogmas 2021 Week One

Today I go shopping to the amazing Liberty of London to check out their Christmas store! It was amazing! Plus all the decorations. Then headed over to John Lewis Oxford Street to see their incredible Christmas emporium. All the treats today!
Please note this was filmed prior to the change in mask rules in stores.

I worked on many Hollywood films and television shows back in the day and your filming "knack" and editing are just fine. I enjoyed the insertion of the Christmas music too. You don't just go through the motions with your Christmas vlogs...you show your holiday spirit which only adds to my own. Your hard work, which you make look easy, is always much appreciated. Thanks again Hannah and have a wonderful week ahead.

[@HannahRicketts]

Oh thanks so much, really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

[@dayrestsotelo1674]

Your Christmas shopping videos put me and my roommate in such a good mood. We live in Norway and it's often very cold during the winter, so we don't bother going out during weekends unless we really want to or it's absolutely necessary haha. We watch your videos though, and we can't wait to visit london again once the pademic settles down! Thank you for doing what you do.

[@HannahRicketts]

Aw I'm so glad you like them! More to come x

[@hildabrunski7400]

Hannah!!! Very nice to see Liberty & John Lewis included in the vlogmas! With rising cases here in canada, your vlogs give us that escape, that Christmas-y feeling that we can not get in person! Bless you for taking the time to make our lives a little brighter 🎄

[@AnitaAnneLloyd]

Looooooooooove! Your vlogs are marvelous, Hannah. I enjoy your commentry throughout your vlog. It is spontaneous and honest. We love the fact that you are alone and doesn’t have a side-kick with you.

[@HannahRicketts]

Thank you so much!!

[@arthuranderson7741]

Sunday Bonus!!..Quality street has to be "the purple one" I'm afraid...you won't be short of £600 plus to kit those trees out the same as the display that includes the tree.

[@maseeha.m.i]

I've always been so enraptured by the energy of the holiday season in the UK. It's so dreamy. I really hope I can leave South Africa one day and experience the beauty of the rest of the world like this. Can't wait for more vlogmas content! Much loxe xx💫

[@tatianal1387]

For Christmas and New Years, the windows of large department stores and small boutiques around the world are changing. Beautiful and unusual decorations, coupled with gifts, ribbons and sparkles, create that very cherished Christmas mood. In some showcases, the figures move, a pleasant Christmas melody sounds, so here you want to stay and dream up as long as possible. Thank you for the kind and beautiful video!

[@HannahRicketts]

Glad you liked the vlog!

[@patkilmurray4702]

Hannah! I've only just discovered you and I have to say I love your vlogs, busy going through all of them at the moment. Haven't been to London for 3 years so it's wonderful that you are going to all my favourite shops for me. Plus you resemble my daughter Jess, same appearance, same mannerisms it's uncanny. Mrs K.

[@HannahRicketts]

glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

[@lisacompton3913]

Thankyou Hannah for Christmas inspiration. I live in Australia on a farm, it's drying out here and getting warm. We don't have the stores with such an amazing array of ornaments. I've just started watching your vlogs and your a pleasure to watch and listen too. I await in anticipation for the next one.

[@HannahRicketts]

You are so welcome!

I worked at an upscale store in the US and our buyers went on their trips early in the year. We started recieving and tagging Christmas in the summer. Once the stock is gone, it's often gone forever.

[@nisatrinidad5750]

Quality street chocolates - my favourite is the one wrapped in purple - divine. Love all the Christmas deco.

[@lisagulley8051]

The trees and ornaments at John Lewis were so beautiful! Thanks for sharing Hannah!

[@fionafrazer8820]

I can't tell you how much these vlogs mean to me - they are wonderful! As a child, we used to come up to London on the train (from Kent) to do our Christmas shopping, have a special lunch, and see the lights. It is so much better these days, although I have to say that the day trip was such a highlight to me! Later, when teenagers, we would come up on Christmas Eve to be amid all the hustle and bustle, and then take the train home after the shops closed (which was at 6 pm!). Thank you - you're a star!

[@HannahRicketts]

So glad you enjoy them!!

[@LynneUK1]

There's some gorgeous tree ornaments, I love the bright coloured ones, we used to all different colours on our tree but we got rid of them and started afresh with silvers and ice blues.

[@susprime7018]

Yes to Christmas hairbands. Christmas music, que handsome stranger. Toffee one. Multi color lights. Thank you.

[@dalefriesen7812]

I'm enthralled with the vibe of the ancient timbre of Liberty. Always good to see you, Hannah.

[@janefriel6895]

Nutcrackers, i don't get the loose association with Christmas at all.Yes,the Ballet was "Wintery ",thats it really. Great video as usual. 🎄

[@JennyAmponsah]

I haven’t been to Liberty in about 25 years since I was 14 lol!!! I remember passing through there with my drama group when we went to see West Side Story at the theatre! Brings back memories! And of course it wouldn’t be Christmas without passing through John Lewis!!!

[@birminghamcloseup]

Wonderful video as usual Hannah, I love you nattering away, you make me laugh, you are so natural, also the abundance of charisma you possess is also a bonus. For me, purple, fudge and toffee in my tin, I would probably sit on it so I could get more in my tin, because I am greedy. I have 600 pre-lit warm lights on my tree I bought from John Lewis two years ago. I Move on the 20th of December to my new rented apartment by the canals in Birmingham, after being stuck on the 10th floor for the last three years, it also has its own ground floor patio attached to my lounge, which I am so looking forward to. My tree would look wonderful on the patio😄

[@HannahRicketts]

Hope the move goes well! Sounds like a nice change!

[@russellferrera1]

Wow!! How beautiful was that!! Your content was amazing!! You're doing a tremendous job! I absolutely loved it!! Sending you lots of love from Philippines. 💙✨

[@janis6363]

Want to see your home Xmas decorations too. You have such fun and appreciate the season so much. No humbug, just classy fun. Home Xmas tour!! Love tagging along in the stores with you. I’m an old lady and I feel like a child looking in windows of my small town department store,🎅🏼🎄👀👀😍

[@carlajoseph785]

[@livadiasummer5999]

Love watching your Christmas vlogs and wishing I could be in London instead of having a hot Christmas in Australia! btw the soldiers you're showing are called Nutcrackers from the Christmas ballet.

[@bergenna9226]

It was always tradition to go to London to ser the Christmas decorations. With regards to the coat (as I get really hot in stores), I usually wear a sweater and a gilet with a hood. Its such practical attire and I hardly get burning hot anymore 😊

[@Marykguise]

What is a gilit? We don’t use that word in the States:)

[@bergenna9226]

[@darlenechandler2403]

Love the Liberty Shop and the area with Antiques and home products and the Christmas Shop. They used to have a pop up cafe in the furniture area and was so nice. And I used to love to come for tea on the main floor, which has now moved to another floor. their used to be a Champagne Bar in the Lower level. Just love this shop so much. Thank you.

[@markbrown5703]

Fantastic Job Hannah!!!! As you say, "Yes to All"! These two stores are amazing! You really have some tremendous choices, when it comes to Christmas shopping options! Thanks for sharing all the details involved in knowing how to effectively navigate your way around London! Your vlogs are always enoyed, & very much appreciated!!!! Be safe & healthy!

[@jasondortch2313]

The John Lewis exclusive Quality Street chocolate is really good this year…caramel with bits of cookie inside. I had a tin filled up with nothing but the exclusive one! I’m in York right now but can’t wait to get down to London.

[@priscilladiefenderfer9239]

Hello Hannah!! Liberty's is just the most glorious store. It has such wonderful history and charm. There is nothing like it in the world. The decorations here and at John Lewis do remind me of a store near me in Hermitage, PA called Kraynak's. It has uncountable decorations and gifts and floral arrangements. It's not Liberty's, but, it's pretty cool and a great afternoon out. Don't wear your coat, you'll die of heat exhaustion! You look great! Stay safe and sound 🫖🧣🎄🧣🫖

[@HannahRicketts]

Thanks for watching along!

[@jf6395]

l really enjoy your christmas walks and shopping its such fun to vicariously go along for the ride.I live in a small farming town on high hilltop in the Rocky mountains of Montana its a snowy blustery morning about 15cm freshly fallen overnight and I am hanging out watching a herd of elk probably a couple hundred of them at the bottom of the field, mule deer are browsing in the yard and a couple golden eagles are in the trees. waves of snow followed by sun, a couple minutes ago the spanish peaks ( about 11000 feet high) fully in view now i can only see as far as the elk, i can hear the flocks of geese and tundra swans flying overhead in the stormy sky ,thanks so much for all the effort you put into your channel

Our Canadian department stores are all going under or ‘rubbish’ as you may say. Yes, have some tea and a treat for all us stuck at home, or champagne! Mermaids and posh chocolate, beautiful trees and amazing themes! Keep up the absolutely wonderful vlogs!

❤️❤️❤️❤️ the vlog Hannah …., the purple & green triangles are my favourite Quality Street xx

[@HannahRicketts]

They are great!

[@gillianm9367]

The soldiers in Liberty are the Nutcracker Army from the Nutcracker Ballet. Love any bird decorations, the robins, peacocks etc. My Quality Street choice would be the Purple, the strawberry, the orange and the coconut. No toffees thankyou and please bring back the coffee one ! Yes! the dilemma of which coat to wear when shopping! If mostly undercover I'd suggest a lightweight quilted coat that you can easily unzip. No heavy scarves- a lightweight one will be fine. If it's a dry cold day with no rain forecast I'd wear a lightweight wool coat with a cross body bag and comfortable footwear. Are you going to Covent Garden Market soon Hannah ? 🎁🎄🛍

[@HannahRicketts]

I will soon!

This is the one that is my favorite for ornaments and the building itself.

[@cattenshi4213]

Just a lovely vlog, both stores really have quite a beautiful assortment to pick from and I love the color coordinating, so much easier to find gifts for those who color coordinate (3 friends only do pink, purple, silver and one does black!) I love squirrels so whenever I see one well made I snatch it up! So funny that you call them toy soldiers, we call them nutcrackers in the U.S. and one of my friends collects them. She has a Sherlock Holmes one that I am especially coveting! And yes, one must have an ornament with the Queen Mum on it (actually I love ornaments with the union jack and caught that union jack heart as you passed!) Can't wait to see your tree and gingerbread house!

[@kerriemills1310]

Hi, Knit wear coats 🧥 are usually the best for that sort of thing when shopping 🛍 so not to be boiling 🥵 while shopping in air conditioning. Also thanks for showing these I didn’t even know what? John Lewis or Liberty was till now. 🤶😊✨🎼 🎄Thank you.

I absolutely love watching your Christmas vlogs every year! I do have quick question just because I’m curious. Do you guys have human Santas in any of your shops? Here in the US we have one in every mall during the holidays, where you can go and take your pictures with him. I don’t know it’s just something I have always wondered while watching. If there are any it would be cool to see what your Santa/s looks like.
