Great Vlog guys, I’m always sad when it ends. Your Christmas decorations, table & food looked lovely. Looking forward to seeing your 2025 wedding plans take shape and very excited for you, though I know it will be quite stressful at times. Just go with the flow and it will all turn out wonderful. Happy New Year to you both 🎉 ❤

[@joshuaparr3279]

Brilliant vlog! I can say it was an hour well spent this morning with some cracking entertainment. Elliots meltdown over the sauce going down the sink by mistake was a classic 😂 The food looked scrumptious! Of course, little furbaby Beau looking so cute in his stroller 😍 Happy new year to you both 🎉

[@alygodsquad]

[@ads74555]

[@jacquelinehunt7794]

Great video loved it.

[@cbfranke66]

The Advent calendar that I did this year was the Fortnum & Mason tea calendar.

[@ElliotNMatt]

Was it worth it?

[@cbfranke66]

@ yes. Was able to try different teas. My favorite was the Ginger & Sicilian Lemon.

[@mgpm17]

What a lovely vlog. Don't be so hard on yourself Elliot. Your Christmas table and food looked absolutely fabulous. I'm thrilled you finally have your cat pram and that Beau enjoys all of his new adventures. It's so cute 🥰 Happy New Year Elliot and Matt. I hope the new year is as wonderful as you are and I can't wait to watch you both plan your big day. I've been married for 22 years and I'm more in love with my husband than I was on my wedding day. I never knew it was possible.

[@robbflynn4325]

The raven inn welshpool, my local!

[@ElliotNMatt]

Small world lol 😂

[@katieannjones89]

Happy New Year to you both, I hope it's everything you'd wish it to be 🍾🥂🎉 Just a hint Elliott - why don't you buy an extra duvet and have them both on the bed like the Scandinavians do. It will be a complete life changer for you x😊❤️

[@the_oslovian]

Maybe some kind of gardening calendar next year 😊❤ Advent calendars probably goes to 24 because they in many counties open gifts and have their main celebrations on the 24th. Among them Germany where the tradition started and many other countries in Europe.

[@freyallarganswald4746]

I love you both, you are such a lovely genuine couple🤗💕. Wishing you a happy, healthy and peaceful 🙄2025 🤗💕

[@mejonesop]

Cadbury advent calendar’s are great

[@janebessant9991]

Your Xmas Dinner looks amazing, I cannot cook beef and Matts looked the best x

[@ggggddddddsssss]

I can't believe how good your dinner looked omg makes me wanna go to a Toby carvery 😊

[@pattytramonto3103]

Oh, you and Matt did a spectacular job for Christmas hosting! Well done and dry those tears!!!

Your Volgmas was so fun to watch! You guys did a wonderful job

[@susanorr8348]

Don’t fret Elliot-things like this happen all the time and its not the end of the world. It will be funny when you reminisce in future.

[@MrsGHome]

You two are such an adorable couple ❤

[@teeupstitch7575]

Hello Elliot and Matt. What a great video: from the place settings/Matt's dinner preparation to the buffet style setting, & Beau eager to ride in his pram. Elliot: I was chuckling when you said "The Colonel is in a chasity belt." 😁😅 Have a safe New Year's eve and a grand 2025! ☮️

[@maureen14]

🎉🎉Happy New Year Eliot and Matt!!🎉🎉

[@carol-jv8pg]

TO MY SCHROPSIRE LADS, THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR PRE CHRISTMAS PREPARATIONS WITH US. VERY GENEROUS OF YOU. ELLIOT, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR BEARD AS IT IS NOW. SO NICE TO SEE MORE OF YOUR FACE. HOPE MATT AND YOUR PARENTS AGREE. HOLIDAY MISTAKES MAKE CHRISTMAS AND OTHER MEMORABLE. MATT TOOK IT IN STRIDE.

[@annkarpinskireddog]

Awwe no one does this better❤

[@annkarpinskireddog]

Good you are getting better now❤

[@mejonesop]

Blessings on your new year fellows!

[@larhumba4233]

Loved it! What loving supporting families you both have, Matt cooked an amazing Christmas dinner! As for the Royals at Christmas, all you need to know is Jonny & Catherine!!!!!! Santa was very kind to us this year with epic Jonny galore! 🎉💝💜 Happy New Year, and well done on getting Morrison's veg for 10p a bag! Wasn't available online.

[@virnataijeronyager7741]

The knitted nativity scene is amazing!! I've never seen anything like it. I enjoyed the candle advent calendar last year was nice. That would be nice again and/or maybe a men's cologne one? Happy New Year! Matt! Can you make a beef Wellington? PLeeeeeze? I want to try and make one and I want to see you do it first!

[@ajohnson2381]

Sorry but it was funny when you accidentally threw the coulis away. You have an almost sous chef in Matt so no worries. Not as bad as what my Husband did when we got back from 2 weeks on holiday in America (lots of new bits) he mixed up washing and rubbish bin liners, yes the clothes went on the bin wagon! Pushing a pram suits you.

[@monikaberzins7960]

Happy New Year from Brampton, Ontario Canada. Love your episode today and all of them Love your cute boys! Wishing you all the best.

[@ElliotNMatt]

Happy new year!!

[@juliajones2283]

Merry Christmas Elliot and Matt ( Morrisons had loads of Easter eggs in store today unbelievably!). Happy 2025. Xx
