HOLIDAY SEASON IN BUENOS AIRES ARGENTINA 🇦🇷 (& spending the holidays abroad)

[@chanelmeyerr]

Another Thanksgiving in Buenos Aires!! Also if you enjoyed this please let Michael know in the comments here as he’ll be reading all the comments ❤️ He will also be compiling a list of your Buenos Aires recommendations and our favorite spots to make a Google sheet for you all, so please leave your recommendations too! 🤍🫶🏻🇦🇷

[@markrush2319]

I lived in Buenos Aires for 10 years, and Thanksgiving is not a recognized holiday in Argentina.

Un pollo como ese, crudo, lo consiguen por menos de la mitad. Unos 5.5 usd

[@laAlquimistadePlata]

Para Navidad pueden intentar preparar Vitel toné y comer un poco de Mantecol :D

[@chanelmeyerr]

Me encanta la idea! 🤩

[@imnobodywhoareyouu]

Que divino Michael!!! No tengo mucho espíritu navideño últimamente, pero me gusta el café navideño de starbucks. Acá el 8 de diciembre se arma el arbolito, así que a partir de ese día van a haber más decoraciones.

[@chanelmeyerr]

Fuimos a starbucks para probar el toffee nut latte y la verdad es que me gusto mucho lo recomiendo! (Pedí el iced latte y Michael el frapp) pero se me olvidó de eso!! En los EEUU es normal decorar la casa en noviembre 😅

[@Neyenn]

2:58 I have to say, HUGE respect for using the word Estadounidense. I understand that in English there is no word for that so you guys use the american term :) but since it always been very disliked the term (we feel is used only for united states when america is actually much than that, everyone is south america is also american) so personally I really like you guys used the word estadounidense, since in spanish we have a word for that, unlike the english lenguage.

[@veritorossi]

@EnocRand Americanos are the people of the continent.

[@Sh4rkill3r]

@EnocRand i dont care how you call them

[@JK-nq1dl]

Nothing is wrong with people from the U.S. saying American. A Puerto Rican identifying as Latino doesn’t make a Chilean not Latino. A person from the U.S. saying American doesn’t mean an Argentinian can’t say they are American.

[@JK-nq1dl]

@@veritorossiThat’s one usage but it’s not wrong for the U.S. to call ourselves Americans if we want too. Nobody’s stopping you from also using it but you don’t own it and can’t claim you do or that people from the U.S. are wrong.

[@marm317]

Feliz dia de accion de gracias! Que rico lo que cocinó Michael! Todo un chef! Me imagino como extrañaran en esta época del año, además de su familia, el ambiente navideño de EE.UU, que acá la verdad mucho no tenemos... Lo mejor: El Mantecol !!!

[@chanelmeyerr]

Gracias!! Y si la comida estuvo muy buena!!!:) la verdad es que este finde ha sido un poco duro de no celebrar ese día con mi familia en los EEUU y pasar esa época allá pero al mismo tiempo es lindo comenzar nuevas tradiciones acá ❤️

[@marm317]

​@@chanelmeyerr gracias por contestar! Son tan lindas personas! Una alegria que esten aca en Argentina!

[@randomchapa2604]

Que bueno que aparezca Michael mas seguido :D Vayan a comer a Bellagamba, tiene muchos locales y es muy barato n_n

[@chanelmeyerr]

❤️❤️❤️ Gracias!!

[@milagroslinares7428]

I love all your beautiful shootings of Buenos Aires and how you keep discovering new places, love the videos!

[@chanelmeyerr]

❤️❤️❤️Thank you!!

[@pabloiconia3215]

The biggest mall here is the Unicenter. In Martinez. Is worthy to go there if you want to go shopping.

[@chanelmeyerr]

Gracias!!

[@oliversassendorf6894]

It's good to see Michael more often in the videos.

[@chanelmeyerr]

❤️❤️

[@Peter-m5n7m]

Chanel & Michael, Happy belated Thanksgiving Day!🦃

[@aikidomatrix1]

The Itis=Pachorra (en argentino) LOL. Happy Thanksgiving guys! I was really looking forward to see your pavita prep BUT I totally get it, it is too much work and unless you add extra sauce on the side for the presentation (my Mom makes one with soy sauce, wine and especias) the meat is too dry and does not taste like much. BTW, she used to make it for Noche Buena. Have a great end of the year

[@chanelmeyerr]

Thank you!! And yes turkey takes so much time and work to make so it was actually relieving to have the chicken fully cooked for us 😅

[@AzereusMantor]

YES! i have been waiting for a mike episode!!! well done guys!

[@chanelmeyerr]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@shelbyvillemusica]

Michael, excelente tu segundo video, sos elocuente y fluido y divertido. Esperamos mas. Y te escribo en español para que practiques un poquito jajaja. Hace quince años decayo mucho el espíritu navideño no es lo que era ya pero todos nos seguimos juntando a comer y a recibir regalos. Tomar sidra, ah y tienen que probar (o hacer) el vitel tone que es la comida clasica navideña. Cada vez mejor su contenido y la apuesta por el feedback con la gente. Ojala puedan conocer la costa atlántica, es muy hermosa y tienen muchas opciones. Después año nuevo es una cena casi igual que navidad diria ! Saludos michael y por supuesto a chanel tambien , desde aca siempre apoyandolos cada lunes que vuelvo del fútbol, me duermo con el vídeo!

[@chanelmeyerr]

❤️❤️❤️ Estamos muy emocionados por probar más comida navideña de acá! Quizás Michael puede intentar hacer el vitel tone en casa jaja pero muchísimas gracias!! 🫶🏻

[@FlorDeVlog]

Happy Thanksgiving! :D Me sorprende que el turkey no sea lo más rico, qué interesante! Yo estoy esperando al 8 de Diciembre para decorar ♥

[@ericwebb460]

You’re the first channel I ever subscribe to. Live in BaS 5 months in the year. Grew up in NYC, excellent job , I make the best moist and delicious turkey.

[@chanelmeyerr]

Woah! What an honor thank you!!

[@brinditermesano8824]

Wow Me sorprende Michael como conductor es mucho más bueno de lo que pensaba felicitaciones Mike

[@Dgalladini]

La mesa navideña con ensalada rusa, vitel toné, asado con 42ºC; imperdible la mesa dulce, pan dulce, mantecol, y mucha sidra. Los regalos se abren a las 00.00!! (no se espera a la mañana del 25)

[@Gonzaroa31]

Hola. Soy Gonzalo Herman de Clarin (a Newspaper). Me gustaría hacerte una nota sobre tu vida en argentina.

[@FranP25]

Great video!

[@chanelmeyerr]

❤️❤️❤️

[@lovesongs4mebombom292]

Que grande Michael cooking like a professional chef !! Loved the video guys 🙂 Reccomendation : try to spend at least a few days in a beach during the summer. Mar del Plata is a good place to begin because it's easy when you don't go with a car and it's offering a lot of different things fan to do.

[@chanelmeyerr]

🇦🇷🫶🏻 And the food was delicious!! Thank you for the recommendation we’re hoping to go to a beach this upcoming summer:)

[@Thatdemimimi]

Asado pa navidad ♡♡♡

[@fancynancy2888]

Your Thanksgiving meal looks 😋 delicious, especially the stuffing. Superb work, Michael! Happy Thanksgiving to you both! Regarding Christmas, I play Charlie Brown Christmas/ Vince Guaraldi’s music on repeat.

[@chanelmeyerr]

Yes the stuffing was a real stand out!! And that’s a good choice we always have instrumental Christmas music playing in the background all day 🎶

[@Juan041194]

that "in the rain" editing was top notch haha

[@chanelmeyerr]

Yes!!! I was so impressed!!

[@MichaelMartinYoutube]

Thank you, it took me half an hour 😂

[@mariajulitacaro5086]

Hola! Que rico polio al spiedo ! ; Pavo se puede hacer al horno se vende supermarket tarda unas tres horas ... ☺ 🍛🍗

[@chanelmeyerr]

Un día debemos probarlo!

[@gonzalofarias8344]

Feliz día chicos! Ahora toca una navidad bien argentina! comidas y bebidas tradicionales aqui para esta época!

[@chanelmeyerr]

Sii hay mucho que probar!! 🇦🇷🫶🏻

[@GonzaFerretti]

As others have pointed out, Mantecol and Vitel Toné are staples of argentinean christmas! The city hasn't been decorated thoroughly for years tho, which is sad! But we make up for it with lots and lots of food! Felices fiestas!

[@chanelmeyerr]

Definitely need to try both!! :)) 🫶🏻🇦🇷

[@Chofa.doodles]

For Christmas and new years its common to have lemon champ after the main course, a scoop of lemon ice cream + champagne , cheers!

[@chanelmeyerr]

Interesting! Our Christmas dinner is very similar to our thanksgiving dinner and in the us I don’t think there’s a common new years dinner but my family has always done lasagne 😋

[@tintillor]

Hey guys, it must be tough spending the holidays so far from your family, but I hope you got the best of it. For Christmas, I tend to go to my uncle's house to celebrate so I can't give much of a recommendation regarding that, though I can recommend what I consider Christmassy food. Mantecol, for me, is a must have. Even though it's sold all year round, I tend to eat it the most during this time. Then I tend to make pigs in a blanket (the bacon ones) to add to the dinner table.

[@chanelmeyerr]

❤️ Thank you! We're excited to try Mantecol and I haven't had pigs in a blanket in forever so we might have to make that soon!

[@tintillor]

@@chanelmeyerr something really weird with Mantecol is that depending on the size the flavor is different. The big ones (400grams) are the tastier ones.

[@Marianojoey]

Hey, nice video, and Happy Thanksgiving. :)

[@chanelmeyerr]

Thank you!! 🦃❤️🫶🏻🇦🇷

[@brinditermesano8824]

Feliz día de la independencia chicos❤❤❤

[@darionardis1371]

Congratulations Michael! Your first SOLO video! I was wondering...what ingredients stuffing have? Everything looked amazing!! We call that chicken "al espiedo". Happy Thanksgiving and hope you have a beautiful week!

[@chanelmeyerr]

❤️❤️❤️ Stuffing is so easy to make! It’s bread, chorizo, and celery so delicious! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@aguscarballal7266]

Compren mantecol para Navidad!!

[@chanelmeyerr]

Excelente idea!! Y gracias!!❤️🫶🏻🇦🇷

[@brinditermesano8824]

En mi familia se fue apagando el furor por la Navidad cuando fuimos creciendo aunque nos juntamos todavía como toda la vida

[@julioc4978]

Great video Cheers

[@chanelmeyerr]

❤️

[@cheryldavis6656]

Binged watched it & loved it ❤ George proves that being older does not necessarily mean wiser. I'm 69 and there are quite a few Georges out there 😅.

[@lucky5853]

Belated happy Thanksgiving, better late than never...😅

[@ittutor2521]

Chanel, estaba viendo en el video anterior como hiciste esos bombones de banana, avena y pasta de maní. Yo los solía hacer con avena, dulce de leche, cacao y por fuera empaparlos con coco rayado. Luego meterlos al freezar. Quedan riquisimos, no es sano pero deliciosos.

[@chanelmeyerr]

Riquísimo!! Me encanta comerlos cuando necesito energía por la tarde para seguir con el trabajo 😂 (cuando no debo tomar mas cafeína)

[@recoleto5288]

Happy Thanksgiving guys!!

[@chanelmeyerr]

Thank you:))

Jajaja solo me gusta la nieve el 25 de diciembre y nada más jaja la verdad es que es una bendición por fin no vivir con nieve 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

que grande michael un capo xD

[@alejandromartin1962]

hola chicos,el pavo aca en argentina casi que no se come y si consiguen es muy caro,se puede conseguir es pavita pero si no lo sacas del horno en una hora justa es una desgracia de seco

[@chanelmeyerr]

Gracias! Quizás un día lo probamos pero la verdad es que nos gusto mucho el pollo 😂

[@Neyenn]

Yeah, it would very weird to find anything related to thanksgiving in Argentina. As kids we're really into Halloween, but thanksgiving not at all. The closest thing we experienced (Argentina) was trough The Simpsons.

[@chanelmeyerr]

Makes sense! We gave out candy this year for Halloween (set up a spot for kids to take it in a park lol) and it was so cute to see them so excited and some even dressed up!

[@ggl2947]

En la historia de mi comunidad tenemos nuestra versión del día de acción de gracias que no es muy conocida, yo soy originario de Trevelin una comunidad galesa en Chubut y cuando nuestros antepasados llegaron a la estepa patagónica nuestros antepasados no sabían de donde sacar agua ni comida en medio del invierno en un lugar hostil, los nativos tehuelches ayudaron a nuestros antepasados a establecerse, les indicaron donde había agua y recibieron alimentos y así se pudo pasar ese primer invierno patagónico. Es la misma historia salvo que nosotros en Chubut luego convivimos en harmonia y hermandad con los Tehuelches.. en Estados Unidos fue.. ehh otro fin, pero es lo que hay

[@shelbyvillemusica]

​@@ggl2947 gran comentario!

[@carlosalcibiades2065]

I was curious to find out where you'd get the turkey because it's not that common here. Question answered quickly.

[@chanelmeyerr]

😅

[@madkvideo]

Michael-ites, we finally get our dose of content

[@chanelmeyerr]

😂😂

[@sebastianponce9658]

Can't think of a less Christmas Feeling place on earth.😂

[@chanelmeyerr]

We’re surprised by the lack of decorations and Christmas music 😭

[@user-hk3ej4hk7m]

Do you guys put a pesebre under you christmas tree? I don't think I've seen that while traveling to the US, It's pretty common here because of the spanish influence.

[@chanelmeyerr]

We haven’t bought one yet but I would love one. We wouldn’t put it under the tree but rather on a shelf or bookshelf:)

[@carlosalcibiades2065]

Like the American president every year, you spared the life of a turkey in the end as well, so it's a nice homage to your country.

[@freedom4life312]

No cranberry sauce?😢 Must be hard to find over there I think

[@chanelmeyerr]

Haha we thought about making it but neither of us really like it so it was an easy skip!

[@marianopatrucco1881]

Great video, everything looks delicious 😋 You guys need to go watch a fútbol (soccer) match. Preferably Boca Juniors in La Bombonera, the most passionate and crazy fans out there.

[@chanelmeyerr]

Thank you!! This has been on our list for a whiilleee (but Michael is #river so……..)

[@marianoalvares4103]

Hay que ir a ver a River sin duda..

[@lauracolantonio866]

My dream is to be a digital nomad in Buenos Aires! I am an English teacher, but I don't know where to start with looking at online jobs. Do you have any recommendations?

[@chanelmeyerr]

I'm not too sure for English but I'm sure if you search up "learn English online" you may find some online language learning platforms to get you started! I think I've heard of vipkid...

[@gxm]

I forgot to ask... how do you get NBC?

[@arecizzle]

How do you navigate thru Argentina's hyper inflation and unstable value of the peso.

[@crazyintention9]

Honestly we should all swap chicken for turkey!

[@chanelmeyerr]

We actually preferred the chicken this year it tasted better 😋

[@federicolopezcamelo7440]

Tu novio cocina muy bien

[@chanelmeyerr]

Siiiii

[@frankschallenguer3410]

No sé que esta esperando el gobierno de la ciudad para nombrarte ciudadana destacada 😊

[@JK-nq1dl]

You should make some sort of disclaimer that your viewers should probably not try to use the “itis” since they may get slapped if they say it around the wrong people. I’m not saying it’s right to slap someone over a word but that’s one step from a slur and it’s only fair to warn people do they don’t find out the hard way since they don’t know the origin.

[@ximenadiaz1102]

No sé dejen engañar si entraron a un grupo masivo de WhatsApp que te paga por ver vídeos , los primeros si los pagan luego cuando lograste muchas misiones te hacen invertir todo el dinero y después no te lo devuelven , porque le ponen precio a las órdenes y las tareas dinero que tal vez no tenes !!! Y ese plata invertida no es devuelta!! Tengo para compartirles las capturas para que vean que los terminan estafando y se quedan con toda la ganancia que generaste.

[@Peter-m5n7m]

It's turkey that tastes just like CHICKEN! LOL

[@chanelmeyerr]

xDD

[@charliepro6671]

que gadorcha es thanksgiving en argentina? aqui nunca necesitamos traicionar a los pueblos originarios luego de que nos salvaran de morir de hambre. En argentina tratamos a los inmigrantes como argentinos, solo les pedimos que aprendan a vivir como argentinos y no como turistas
