Christmas Lights Festival With The Whole Family & Ice Skating | Vlogmas Day 20

[@onewhitewolf13]

Is it just me or is it quite impressive that Ottie is able to play and win Guess Who, all by herself?! 😄

I’m a speech-language pathologist and I am constantly blown away by Ottie’s language skills! The way you talk with her constantly and at her level is amazing!

[@rhani96]

You sitting with Ottie after ice skating is so comforting to see. Such a cute moment. She didn't feel comfortable, and you didn't force her, but let her still enjoy the moment.Very good parenting!

[@Patricia_k672]

I’m truly amazed at how good Ottie is at playing games. I was thinking how clever she was for her age the other day when you were playing with her at Alfie’s parents house and watching you play today just solidified it. She was asking all of the right questions to figure out the character, well done Ottie!

[@aaliyahpatel2819]

I know Alfie and Zoe say it often that they don’t have the perfect life (although it appears that way on camera)- but to me they really do. Zoe’s fashion, home, relationships, job, just her whole life is something so special and something I really aspire to have! The biggest thing for me to really hope for is to overcome anxiety the same way Zoe has. Not everyone is lucky enough to have such a positive life and it is really healing to watch these vlogs!

[@analuisa-nw9pn]

I just want to thank you for this years vlogmas, it's my personal christmas tradition. It actually makes me feel the holiday spirit, this month is usually very stressful for me and it doesn't let me enjoy christmas very much.

[@charleylowe7189]

the realisation of not having long left is hitting hard 🥹

[@Mandysmythsparkle]

I agree

[@abigailchrysanthou347]

Question for tomorrow- how did you know it was the right time to have the girls and do you feel like you had done everything you wanted before you had them…. Loving vlogmas!!! ❤️

[@libbyt7820]

As an anxious kid who felt like I was forced to do a lot of stuff I didn’t want to, it was so healing to watch you guys give Ottie permission to not like ice skating. It is something that seems so small, but it made my inner child feel so safe.

[@Sofeyy2810]

Could I plant the seed of possibly vlogging every day in April? (Vlogpril maybe?!) 🙊 The thought of it being Spring and Easter and you in the Garden again 🌸 and it just evens the year out and will get a 3 month break before Vlogust again 😂 PLEAAASE 💛💛💛💛🌸🌸🌸🌼🌼🌼🐣🐣🐣🐣

[@caitlinmeadx]

Absolutely adored watching Ottie learn how to ice skate, her focusing on what the guy was saying and Ottie giving it go melted my heart. She has so much confidence and determination for her age it’s so nice to see 🥹

[@ilayskr]

To this day, every time I’m unsure about doing something or anxious in any way, I still say to myself, just say yes 🥹 so thank you. From watching you for over a decade, I was so inspired to move to Brighton and go to Sussex University. I’ve now graduated, but looking back I have the fondest memories of those 3 years in my life. I didn’t think I would love another city as much as London and call it my home, but I did. Mark has also inspired me to start solo travelling and backpack across Europe. I have been doing it for the past 2 summers and have had a blast each and every single time! I’ve met the most incredible people throughout my trips and that wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t say yes. This is a reminder that what you guys do has such a positive impact in each and every one of our lives. And Alfie, every time I have the chance to take the stairs, you bet I still do that. Thank you thank you thank you ♥️

[@anna_isa_rose]

Dear Zoe & Alfie, I was probably 7 or 8 when i first ever watched one of your videos. My older sisters were fans and as the youngest, i followed a lot in their footsteps. I’m now 18 years old and am lucky to say i’ve grown up watching you. Although you mentioned your content wasn’t always “PG” it was always comforting, joyous, and fun. through difficult periods in my life one thing stayed consistent, you two sharing your kindness through the internet. vlogmas really makes the christmas season feel festive. i was talking to my older sister and she said she remembers always looking forward to Zoe and Jo’s grinch/ cindy lou who makeup video and how that was part of our christmas traditions. i remember completely devouring the “girl online” books when i was twelve. i’m lucky to say that you have been a role model for me for a decade. now with the ebbs and flows of life i wasn’t always an avid watcher but i always knew i could come home to the comfort of your channel. so thank you for being a part of raising me. you two are such a light and im so glad you decided to start that blog, that channel and all your other ventures. wishing your family a very merry christmas and a happy new year. again thank you for being a constant in my life when nothing else was. much love from kansas ❤

[@mayanhamza5594]

i'm so glad you spoke about the new years resolutions at the end, as someone who always feels so much pressure with new years, it made me feel so comfortable and so much better hearing you put it into words and understand it, thank you! so upset thinking about the vlogs ending soon, but you deserve the break, thank you for making this month so special

[@MariaJin97]

OMG ❤ I love the cute moment Ottie And Zofia met each other and started holding hands straight away. ❤

[@sarahjenkins9456]

The new friendship of Ottie and Zofia! Actually adorable 🥰

[@biaimenes]

I love how Zoe always talks about Christmas traditions and wanting to start new ones with the girls. It made me think about how Vlogmas has become my Christmas Tradition. I’ve been watching her since 2012 and religiously watching Vlogmas since 2014 maybe. No one in my family speaks English, so it’s my thing and I just love it! Christmas in Brazil is very different than in the UK, we’re in the middle of Summer and it’s very hot.

[@arimarie4316]

The way you guys sit with her at the end of the day and talk about your favorite part of the day is EVERYTHING ❤️

[@lydiahoughton]

These videos are such a joy to be watching! Those kiddos are very blessed with you as parents. God Bless you guys ❤

[@frusciantejones]

How is it day 20!!!!! You guys are absolutely killing it! I have adored tuning in everyday! Seeing you guys make your children’s Christmas so magical truly warms my heart, so beautiful to watch every day, sending you guys so much love 🎄❤️

[@hadjermenzer8891]

This vlogmas saved me ❤️ i was feeling so lonely lately, but watching you guys feels like I’m there with you,it’s as if you’re literally talking to me. Thank you so much

[@sarah91951]

what am i supposed to do when vlogmas is over 😩 this is the little bit of joy in my life that i’ve looked forward to every day for the last 3 weeks

[@maddycook3370]

I get so excited for 5pm every day ❤

[@demistarr35]

Me 2

[@onewhitewolf13]

6am for me 😄

[@editsbyjasminex906]

this years vlogmas has healed me in so many ways thank you 🫶🏻🥰

[@evestclaire1388]

Cheered so loudly for Ottie for when she started tapping her skates on the ice 🥹🥹🥹

[@jesschristie1358]

Wait this elf moment is by far the smartest and cutest ❤ my favourite omg

[@averiegrace6295]

Thank you endlessly for vlogmas this year. Christmas always feels 10x more magical when y’all do vlogmas. I’ve been watching you guys for almost 13 years now, and I’ve loved every. single. moment. Zoe, you bring me so much comfort and security. Thank you for being you. Your journey with anxiety has helped me with mine, and for that I’m forever grateful for what you share and how you share it. You and Alfie are the best, I hope you know how many lives you have positively impacted❤️❤️

[@shannonwatts8729]

as a semi retired figure skater, being able to ice skate is such a privilege, i’d love to see her have lessons she’d be brilliant

[@bexparslow]

28:37 I have the same opinion of new years I find it SO overwhelming

[@emilycicala]

I am usually a silent viewer but just wanted to share that I never really felt New Years was that special until recently. I don't know how it is in the UK but here in the US (at least where I am from) we have a tradition of banging pots and pans to ring in the new year. It wasn't until a few years ago that I had stayed in on New Years Eve and was feeling a little bummed when I heard all the cheering and banging outside as the clock hit midnight. There was something about hearing my neighborhood erupt into a celebration at the start of the new year that felt super wholesome to me. Now I look forward to leaving my window open and hearing everyone acknowledge the closing of a year and welcoming a new one with so much joy. Anyway, I have loved every second of Vlogmas and have been watching you guys for over 10 years. Much love from Pennsylvania

[@joeups72]

I’m so with you Zoe, new year is such a comparison and expectation and actually it’s unrealistic to expect one day to make such dramatic changes! So risk is that you start the year disappointed or “failing” … I know you are ready for vlogmas to be done so you can stop but I’ll miss it like I always do! ❤

[@judimcdonnell1971]

I always forget to drink 😅😅 love seeing Ottie and Sophia together HOW CUTE!!!!

[@Claudia_K.]

"An Elfie!“ "Himelf“ Cracked me up. 😂😂😂😂

[@anacabeca]

I am from Brazil, but I have been living in the Northern Hemisphere for the past 12 years. I must say, celebrating New Year in the north doesn't have the same vibe as it does in the south. In the Southern Hemisphere, the start of the new year truly feels like a fresh beginning-it's summer, and with it comes a sense of hope and happiness. Everything starts anew: the school year, the administrative calendar, and so much more. While in the north, the real sense of renewal often waits until September, making NYE feel less like a true starting point. This is why celebrating NYE in the south feels more aligned with the essence of a new beginning.

[@rimiddel]

Oh my Ottie and Sophia❤❤❤just adorable, loved all the lights

[@glitteryreen3908]

zoe your vlogs are always therapy to me so thank you so much for all the positive and cozy vibes you bring with them

[@evelinedieleman]

You came up with such wholesome things for the elf to do. I love it! 😊

[@flaviaromero8434]

I can’t express how much day 18 vlog resonated with me! I always say that you and Alfie are my longest parasocial relationship, haha. I started watching your videos when I was just 12 or 13 years old, and now, at 24, you’ve been inspiring and accompanying me for more than a decade. From something as simple as decorating my room for Christmas to traveling to the UK on a school trip with my best friend-visiting Brighton and secretly hoping to bump into you at the mall (haha)-you’ve been such a positive influence in my life. I only recently realized how much you’ve inspired me to start my own journey on social media. Four years ago, I began creating content, and I’m sure it all traces back to that first video of you in your old bedroom, talking to us like a big sister. As the eldest in my family, I really needed that connection, and it meant so much to me. And now, your vlogs are inspiring me in a whole new way! They make me dream of hopefully one day having a beautiful family like yours. Sending so much love all the way from Peru! You’ll always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for everything Zoë and Alfie. ❤ -Flavia

[@cmsbcarneill2591]

I totally agree with New Years being over rated and the pressure of dedicated change. I appreciate your dedication of vlogmas throughout he years, especially with two busy young ones. The accomplishment of that alone is worthy of celebrating on New Years Day. Looking forward to the rest of the vlogs and enjoy your month of rest in January. ❤

[@sophiecfilms]

Ottie and Zofia holding hands adorable!!

[@amethyst79]

I had never seen Broadchurch before and have spent the entire day binging it and am now halfway through the second series - after that discussion on good stuff to watch the other day 😂😂

[@kyleesymes1568]

I’m so sad that vlogmas is coming to an end 😢 it’s been like an adult advent calendar for me! Every day I can’t wait to wake up and watch your videos! It’s keeping my Xmas sprit alive and making me less sad while my son is over in Australia spending Xmas with his dad. You guys are such a lovely family and I’m so happy for you guys! Will miss watching you guys while you take a break after xmas. I hope you have a beautiful Xmas with your family

[@anneswy3573]

I’m 55 and my daughter is 24 and you don’t get a handbook when you have a child but this shows such amazing parenting and engagement, wish I had thought of some of the great things you’ve vlogged ❤❤ Thank you

[@MyLifeAsAMum]

I LAUGHED OUT LOUD ahaha When you said 'Elfie' ahah SO funny, i'd have said the same 😀

[@jovannaplc]

I've been a silent watcher since i can remember but you guys mean so much to me!!! Currently going through something and having your vlogs to watch everyday and to see you both and your little family makes me feel okay.. I love you guys!!! Merry early Christmas!!!!

[@Dah230]

This one is my favorite elf shenanigan 😂

[@leahwebley1727]

This is my 5000th liked video on youtube & i think the fact that it is a video of yours just sums up my use of KZbin! Over the 12 years of watching you guys, you have brought me so much joy ❤️ sending lots of love! Merry Christmas all! Xx

[@elizabethsmith9213]

Another great vlog, was nice to see Ottie and Sophia having fun together. Tulleys looked good. I love your bedding it's so nice xxxx

[@LaurenReneeK]

Just wanted to say how grateful I am for vlogmas this year. I have a newborn and it’s gotten me through all of my night feeds. Even though I watch every year and have been watching your channel since 2010 this year feels extra special because my baby sits in my lap this time and it feels extra festive and joyful! Love from Australia (& a 4am upload time here couldn’t have been more perfect this year!)

[@GBTCO2b]

An Elfie . . . . !!

[@hattiebrazeley3351]

A few years ago, we joined on our friends’ tradition of going to the panto on NYE. It finishes around 9ish with a massive auld lang syne sing song in the theatre with the whole cast and audience joining in, then we head back to ours for nibbles, drinks and sparklers at midnight. The kids love it and having something to look forward to after the Christmas high

[@abbeyrobinson9620]

I just want to say thank you i don't think i would have felt half as Christmasy without these videos

[@ShelbyTheMacaw]

New year makes me very uncomfortable too. i find it so sad each year I hate it

[@sharnaroberts27]

My favourite time of evening watching the vlog with hot chocolate and warm blanket 🥰❤

[@leahlemessurier7490]

Zoe and Alfie just know these vlogmas videos this year have brought an extra boost of Christmas spirit! I also feel like Zoe in the fact that I hate New Year’s as well, as someone with anxiety myself I just hate the thought of it.

[@nicolebeard10]

I love ‘We’re going on a sleigh ride’ it’s the first Christmas story I ever read to my son last Christmas when he was 1 🥹❤️🎄

[@myheine]

Just figured out yesterday that I’ve been here since 2012! Isn’t that just so crazy to think about? My heart grows fonder of these amazing vlogs each and every day. Also cannot get over Novie being the cutest baby in the world

[@jemimabean]

Oh i’m gonna miss vlogmas! This is my Christmas tradition🥹 Your vlogs honestly just heal me in so many ways, thankyou thankyou thankyou🤍

[@beedeby]

You could introduce Ottie to rollerblades and have her practice at home before she tries ice skating again, it worked for me! Thanks for sharing vlogmas, it's been comforting to watch it every day ❤❤

[@juliab0o]

love waking up and seeing zoe's video the first thing, the christmas season cold has just caught up to me, but i'm happy i get to stay home and watch these :)

[@karenbethell4758]

Such a shame they never had the push sit on penguins at the ice rink, Ottie would of loved those 😟 how lovely to spend some time with Diane’s family, I hope you get some more time with them before they go home ❤

[@wiolettajabloniec8959]

My timing gets better each day you upload haha. Lots love - Viola from Ireland. Silent watcher since your 3rd video ever posted on youtube :D

[@CodiWhite]

I’ve been with my partner for a year and a half and it hasn’t been great😢I’m using next year to kiss goodbye to this year and all the sad memories, excited to make new memories next year with my family. Your so inspiring and I’ve learnt so much from you guys and your relationship, you’ve shown me what it should be like and how amazing life could be with your partner ❤❤❤

[@marianagaric6518]

Question for tomorrow: Is there a particular year you are most excited for the girls to turn and why? And do you guys have a favourite year/age and why?

[@Jenzzyuk]

I loved seeing Zoe and Ottie Playing Guess Who

[@CarolynFifield]

If there was a household robot that just did chores, what is the most annoying chore for you that you would have it do? Dishes, laundry, etc...

[@Alisha-d2y8b]

Cracking upppp at Zoe's quick "Belfie" joke when Alfie mentioned him taking a selfie 🤳 🤣

[@sashlee3018]

Love these family vlogs guys will miss them when vlogmas is over. Your girls are a credit to you. Have a fab Christmas and Ny.

[@silmisolani6808]

For New Year's Eve we come together with family and friends and have a day/night of games and appetizers! Everyone relaxes with a special drink, snacks, and conversation/laughs!

[@amandarib]

These videos make me so happy and chirstmasssy Question: if you could live in a universe of a movie, which movie would yo pick and why?

[@Quartzone6145]

Tullys looked lovely and spending that time with diannes family so special.seeing the girls hand in hand was so cute

[@ellaaskew4732]

Just wanted to say I have been loving these vlogmas videos, you guys are just the best advent calendar and have just made December go by so quick! So Merry Christmas thank you! Xx

[@bloopschmoop6126]

YES I’m exactly the same when it comes to water. I’ll go all day sometimes without drinking water (just haven’t felt thirsty) and then randomly chug a bunch at the end of the day

[@AsmoGhoul]

biggest crush on that instructor.. ☺️😂😂

[@emmabarnes609]

hey zoella merry xmas and happy new year 2024!

[@wrwho7457]

Loved this so much! It’s the highlight of my day watching your vlogs

[@teexpatrick8011]

favourite time of the day 🎄❤️

[@brionybond2956]

I’m the exact same when it comes to new year, I’ve never liked it and it’s so difficult to explain why! It just feels so weird going into the new year, maybe it’s the fear of change 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@MichelleTingz]

Zoe I feel you 1,000,000% on hating new years . Everyone is trying to change at the same time instead of just changing when they need to throughout the year, you don’t know what you want to do different because for the most part every year is the same since we have a new hope for the next year 😂 it’s just anticlimactic imo

[@iiloveemusic]

Can’t believe that there is only 3 days left of vlogmas 🥲

[@rosieclarke7145]

In usually a silent watcher but not been feeling good on Friday and today so seeing these vlogs helps me can't believe we haven't got long left and then the lull between boxing day and new year eve kicks in

[@susannahwhitaker994]

What a lovely day you all had and how great that your families all love being with each other. Also Zoe ,how amazing you have nails to match your bedding lol .Thanks 🤗

[@kateholmes1600]

Dinner and vlog 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 name a better duo

[@MathiTrina]

Quick suggestion: I think you guys (especially Ottie) would really enjoy the pasta-maker-attachment for the Kitchen Aid :)

[@bexwalter1222]

I just love vlogmas. Don't let it end!! Also Zoe, I am the exact same with drinking water. I don't get thirsty at all, then have a sudden bout of thirst and guzzle a s*** tonne of water down!

[@MileyObsession96]

I think this is the earliest I’ve ever been to a Zoë vlogmas video

[@taylorbrace4131]

Loving the vlogs! Question of the day: If you could spend a full day with anyone, who would it be and why? It can’t be someone you already spend time with normally. :)

[@jamieneal7371]

Hey Zoe and Alfie! The lights around goring-by-sea, where I live are lovely and I think Ottie would love them! There is a house down Sea Lane at the top of the road that cover the outside head to toe in Christmas lights every year. There isn't a part of their house that doesn't have lights. I believe they do it for charity. The roads around there also have some nice ones too :)

[@ellaaskew4732]

Currently downing water right now as your talking about it 😂

[@erikaraean2115]

“An elfie “ 📸 😂😂

[@lou9067]

I just know Alfie at the end was mentally considering getting Zoe a new water bottle for christmas until she made it clear it was never going to happen 😅

[@jemmahammond1112]

I’ve watched your vlogs from the very beginning!(we are the same age) and now my 4 year old daughter likes to watch bits of it when I have it on to Xx

[@gwenhughes8650]

I'm with Zoe. For some reason, New Year's Eve makes me sad. Christmas is over and time is passing. I think back on the year and, for some reason, think of all of the sad/bad things that happened.

[@HeraQureshi-f1m]

Hello there! I just have to leave a comment on saying that I just love listening to her your long segments🩵 Listening to Zoe or Alfie or both talk is so weirdly fun but therapeutic 🤣 been watching Zoe since her hair tutorials and hauls from bath and body works back in the day💞 hope u guys continue this for years and year! Happy holidays to you, the girl and nala🎀

[@shaima_s22]

Is anyone like me laughing about the fact that most vlogs the clock has been always not working 😂😂it has become a main point 😂😂

[@FayTodd-i1o]

Vlogmas is so lovely ❤ I bet it’s fun playing the old games with the girls again

[@demistarr35]

I can’t wait to watch this x

[@cezarastropsa6129]

I am here waiting for you vlog ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@Kileamae]

This New Year’s Eve to New Year’s Day I will be working a night shift at the children’s hospital, I cannot wait to give them the best happy start into 2025. That’s what makes my new years special ❤❤

[@Artea_pk]

"Elfie"😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
