[@caricanread]

and here's me getting in the opposite of christmas spirit lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXXCqZaOrtWlaM0

[@pleasedtoreadyou]

is it weird that your suffering got me into the christmas spirit and also made me order some more christmas romance? 😇😬

[@bookoffholicbookwart5945]

The power this girl and her videos have on me is insane. Like, she just comes like a fairy and poof, my day is so much better now.

[@meropi.k]

Woah woah woah dropping the fact that Kurt 💀💀 the most people at training and not explaining further had me literally choking on my food Cari 😂😅

[@sarahspages]

this!!! Lmao

[@caricakes]

😂😂😂 i will explain in another vlog - i got so many comments about it hahhaha

[@tearfulpandora3790]

Another very aesthetically pleasing video. How do you do that?! You always make me want to go on a cafe hunting trip in every video.

[@caricakes]

Thank you 🥹 seoul makes it easy!

[@pikawaii5577]

christmas is precisely those "jolly moments", purest and tiniest attentions that bring a smile to the face

[@michelljulianaruedagualdro7690]

Cari knowing it would snow was such a Lorerai from Gilmore Girls moment ✨

[@ossswin]

✨ I smell snoooowww ✨

[@rachaeltrujillo9960]

Yes!

[@pendragon2012]

You know, you kind of dropped the title ball when you didn't call it, "It's a Very Cari Christmas." I'm just saying. :-) But I'm sure it will still be fantastic!

[@caricakes]

LOL!

[@chezlyli]

Hi~ So peaceful to watch your lovely time finding and discovering the Christmas atmosphere in Seoul ^_^ I love every coffee shop.. Koreans are so good at making the best cosy vibe and esthetics is always so good ! I am coming to Korea later in February so there will not have Christmas anymore but still winter ! I am taking notes in the places you shared in your video 😊 , have a good day =) ❄️🧣

[@caricakes]

definitely still winter!! dress warm hahaha hope you have a wonderful time :)

[@chezlyli]

Thank you ! Yes I heard it’s not a joke winter season in Korea comparing to France ^^ We will get married with my fiancé so hopefully me too ( a great season) 🎉😊

[@laurachiclet]

Waking up early on a sunday to watch a cari vlog is the best way to wake up

[@tanzilk1481]

Wow, this video was so cozy and festive and magical! That's the word, magical. The streets were decorated so beautifully with cute accessories and lights, it all just felt so warm and wonderful. I hope you enjoy the holidays Cari, and I can't wait to continue seeing you produce more comforting videos in the future.

Korean cafes have the best cozy Christmasy vibes🎄

as someone living in the tropics, watching cari’s winter vlogs makes me want to wear cozy sweaters as well :

[@rchmoon]

[@MissEricaCourt12]

I love the vibes in some of the cafes. And all those treats and drinks looked delicious! I hope you can hold on to the Christmas spirit for a while longer, not over yet! ❤

[@badgersandporgsohmy]

[@lilli9970]

[@blairv]

This vlog was so wholesome and it made my heart warm 🤍

[@cloudspinner]

Ahh I loved seeing that Cicely Mary Barker Christmas Tree Fairy card and that mini carousel in the intro!! So cozy!! I love this time of year! I have to skadoodle over to Korea one of these days to experience this magic xD I work as a teacher at a nature preschool and one of my kids (who I'm extremely attached to lol) is Korean ~ slowly I'm learning lots of different phrases from him and what I don't know I look up for fun to share little moments with him haha! My most recent was the roasted seaweed sheets "G/Kim" that I only knew before as the Japanese Nori lol ;D Thank you for this whimsical adventure and happy holidays Cari!!

[@caricakes]

the flower fairies were my childhood :') and ugh yes kim is such a yummy snack!

[@cloudspinner]

Yesss!! They are so sweet!! There's still so many that I have a mighty need to read xD but!! out of the bunch I have, I especially loved the Zinnia one because of the wild adventure and meeting Mallow with her fairy cheeses!! lol such good memories! &definitely is a light and delish snack!! ;D@@caricakes

[@vicfern]

Im watching this in the morning after a giant storm, just drawing and having some coffee, your videos give me such a peaceful vibe~

[@lilac1204]

The opening of the vlog is splendid ~~~ love it !

[@brooke-d]

Ahhhh I love your Christmas vlogs! Korea really seems to go all out 🎄🎅🏻 That cappuccino looked delicious, I always sprinkle a little chocolate on top of mine and it never clicked that it's like a mocha 🤦🏻‍♀️ Happy holidays 🎄

[@emilyks6238]

you're videos were my day-trip inspiration when i studying in SoKo last Fall and now that I am home I get to live vicariously through you. They are always so sweet and make me count down the days to the next chance I get to go back. Lots of love

[@carolinaao3075]

It going to my top 10 favorite vlogs this year Cari. Every location looked cosy, was drooling at every cookie/pastrie you had.

[@user-iy4nd8ge2r]

[@emilywilliams909]

Loved the vlog! As an Australian, I am always perplexed by the idea of it being cold during Christmas but I love how magical and cosy it looks 😍😍 downloaded ‘snowed in’ after watching your booktube and ready to delude myself ❄️🎄

[@marccolomayt82094]

[@dianebaker5243]

A really lovely Christmas video.Thank you.🎄☃️

[@kyra8138]

I literally don't know how you're able to edit so many videos at one time for two channels, BY YOURSELF! Good job, you're doing great despite the busyness of the holidays!

[@lbtea7]

Thank you for bringing us along on your jolly adventure!! Trying to keep these Christmas vibes for January :)

[@QueenXKnit]

I was so hyped for this video after you teasing us endlessly in your latest book review 😤😤😤😤

[@RaquelLimaAreia]

Cari has become a girl who smells snow ❤ I am so happy for you!

[@denpu0506]

One of my all time favourite cafes in Seoul was cafe mousy! I really recommend their coffee (and their oatmilk was great) such a cute small cafe. ❤

[@Sthemingway]

That giant bear holding a mirror (or reflective serving tray) is adorable. That Present Moment door is clever. I'm glad I saved this video to watch for post-wake-up coffee and carbs ritual.

[@lauren_eb]

so cute!! happy christmas season 😊

[@mattkean1128]

WOW 😍🎄 this put me in the holiday mood. Thx for taking us along. Send sugar 🍪

[@laysali74]

Omg I had to leave Seoul at the end of November, some places where pretty beautiful with the lights but couldn’t see so much. Thank you for this beautiful vlog, I felt like I was back there 😍😍😍 I miss that beautiful and tasty cafes so much 😭

[@sydneyshermanna]

Heyy Cari!! So, this is crazy, but my family is actually travelling to Korea next week for my brother's wedding (their fiancé is from Korea) and we JUST found you as a little guide to Seoul in the winter and my mom keeps saying "oh my gosh she could be your bestie" or "that's SO YOU" lol, so if we don't happen to run into each other during all the Christmas festivities, know that we are so, so thankful for your adorable & informative vlogs!! ❤❤❤ Korea has so much charm and you totally match that & let it show!!

[@GinaGee.123]

I cant believe how subtly you just rocked my world by lighting your candle by LAMP.

[@tuninginwithleslie]

Happy Sunday! Thank you for sharing! Christmas in Seoul seems fun! Do you guys plan traveling for holiday season or go anywhere to celebrate your birthday ? Sending you guys love and happy season!

[@caricakes]

happy sunday and christmas!! usually we dont travel during this time because prices are insane hahah

[@elfhchan]

16:04 Cari is a red fox, confirmed! Honestly, this reminds me of my mother because she always decorated the house with berries and leaves so to me thats the ultimate holiday cheer 💖

[@nataschasongbird]

Christmas in Seoul is on a whole different level!😍🎄 I wish I could see it for myself, but unfortunately i won‘t ever get time off in December. So yeah, living out these Christmas vibes vicariously through your vlog😆

Perfect timing for this video! been suffering from some good old post concert depression so i needed something to distract me from missing my favorite band :’)

[@caricakes]

[@marsarson3620]

@@caricakesnooo i was at the last show of the tour😭 I really enjoy your videos btw! ty for making your vlogs and book content

[@Epicentera]

I know exactly what you mean by overdosing on Christmas too early. I drag it out for as long as I can in our house (no Christmas music before 1st of December, we only just put our tree up yesterday (16th) etc. The anticipation is the most fun for me and I don't want to just have the stuff out for the sake of it! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas however you celebrate it

[@marimoutsopoulos]

Thanks for this video ❤ It was really a Christmas gift

[@yakult71]

i like cozy places in cold winter. when you live in always warm weather, cannot know that coziness :")

[@SuperBrieBear]

Watched the Christmas book reading vlog on your book channel :) Totally understand why you thought you might look on edge. That was tough but, so sorry to admit, enjoyable to watch :P. Have the Merriest of Christmases and love to you and yours.

[@FranHutchison]

Wow such a Christmas Vibe in Korea. Love it. Great VLog. I follow 2Hearts1Seoul too. If you ever head back to the States I forget where you are from. If you head to Niagara Falls and cross into Canada there is a small Town called Niagara On The Lake. It's such a pretty town I recommend visiting. But there is a Christmas Store that's open all year and they sell so many Christmas Decorations. I live in Toronto we do have similar Christmas Vibe here.
