how we celebrate christmas in korea 🎄 new obsession, hosting dinner, cozy apartment ✨ seoul vlog

[@2hearts1seoul]

Many of you have probably already heard by now about the devastating plane crash at Muan International Airport in Korea this morning. We’ve been following the news all day…our hearts go out to all the family members who lost their loved ones. There are no words. 아마 많은 분들이 오늘 아침 무안국제공항에서 발생한 비극적인 비행기 사고에 대해 이미 들으셨을거예요. 저희는 하루 종일 뉴스를 통해 모두 생존하시길 기대하는 바람으로 지켜봤습니다. 사랑하는 가족과 친구를 잃은 모든 분들께 깊은 애도를 표합니다.

[@ICDeadPeeps]

It's one of the first things I've read this morning. So sad. Korea doesn't need anymore bad news right now.

[@angeladevoted]

Sarah, my kids just told me. What a tragedy 😢 My heart goes out to all the families who lost loved ones, and friends. How two people survived is miraculous. When I heard about the accident I immediately thought about you two, and how " close to home" that is for you" 🥺🫂 Such a very sad day for South Korea. 😢💔❤️‍🩹 I am looking forward to checking your video out. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year .

[@mindysmom6132]

I just saw it on the news you guys! I’m so very sorry! Lifting everyone up in prayer!

[@elyse3884]

The news was heartbreaking. 💔😭😭 It was such a horrific tragedy. May those that perished rest in peace. 🙏😭

[@AD7Films]

Kyuho’s story about his parents telling him to come home early but showing up at 8am and his parents are just waking up 😂. Happy holidays, enjoyed this.

[@2hearts1seoul]

The best loophole 😂

[@M.T.Isabella7387]

TOTALLY LOOOOOVE the sweater 🤩🤩🤩 I noticed it immediately and thought to myself how it's such a fitting sweater for you.

[@emmetee9675]

Her sweater immediately caught my eye when the vlog started. 😊

[@jh-iw5eb]

We got our cats Beemo favorite catnip toy, the banana, for Christmas. They loved it! Sweet Beemo, we miss you. 💜

So sorry for the families.😢 I hope the two who survived will be ok.

[@marionkuipers2859]

Terrible news, those poor passengers must have been terrified 😨. I flew back home yesterday through a horrible storm and wild turbulence which was bad enough. My heart goes out to all the people on board and their families 😢❤...sending love from South Africa 🇿🇦

Love you kitten sweater ! It’s adorable 🫶🏻 Happy New Year from Summer South Africa 🥂🍾

[@nukem384]

Home Alone has to be the most, maybe millennial xmas movie ever! I remember watching the movie every year as a kid during this time of year. I feel like Boxing day/day after xmas is like as busy as before xmas. Wild how many people are out and about shopping for stuff AFTER the holiday haha. Hope you guys got everything you wanted and had a good holiday!

[@2hearts1seoul]

Agreeed! Both Home Alone 1&2 are absolute must-watches for us every Christmas 🎄 Yeah, Boxing Day sales in the 90s in Canada used to be no joke! Now the sales aren’t really anything special tbh.

[@lizziea.6845]

Happy holidays. The chicken soup looks so good. Would love recipe or episode with demo.

[@sylviacantu9238]

I just want to comment this is my fourth or fifth Christmas with Sarah and Kyuho 🤗🎄😍 I just love their tradition of the stockings, and sweet Beemo is missed💔 I remember when Sarah got the iPad for Christmas 💝 a little late but Merry Christmas and can’t wait for more videos this new year.🙏🏼🙏🏼prayers for the families of the tragic plane accident.

[@aushenaya]

Kyuho’s laugh is the kind of laugh that I lobe to hear every single day 😂 ❤ Happy Holidays to you Sarah and Kyuho! 🎄🎇🥳

[@funpunk1]

Hope you had a blessed Christmas!! May we request Sarah to have her kitchen segment JUST for the chicken noodle soup recipe? 😜🤤

[@M.T.Isabella7387]

Grey particularly seems to really really love you two. ☺️

[@2hearts1seoul]

We’ve known each other for about 7 years, and we think of her as our outdoor kitty 🥰

[@daydreamer054]

Happy Holidays to all! Your videos always provide such a calm vibe and I just loved watching your adventures. All the best and can't wait to see what content you guys put out in 2025.

HAPPY HOLIDAY. YOUR APARTMENT LOOKS SO COZY AND INVITING. SWEET LITTLE BEEMO, I MISS YOU TOO 😻😻

[@aprilharnden9177]

Merry Christmas! Love watching your videos. I try and check out some of the places you go to when I visit Seoul. This time was Scoff Bakery. The Christmas brownie and cheesecake brownie were delicious!

[@2hearts1seoul]

Scoff is the absolute best! So glad you enjoyed the goodies there 🍪

OH MY GOD your new mugs are literally so perfect! The book one is an obvious favorite but the Christmas tree one is also amazing. I'm a huge fan of mugs if I saw these I would have 100% gotten them. Slightly jealous now ahah

[@2hearts1seoul]

They are absolutely stunning works of art and we just could NOT resist 🥹

Korean (Christmas) cakes are so cute! We had a green Christmas here in Windsor, Ontario, went to the Mandarin (Chinese buffet) on Christmas day.

[@bonniethomson3697]

I like watching you two 😊. You are so informative about Korea.

Thank you! We're glad you're enjoying the videos. 😊

So healing to watch your video always 😻 My husband and I also love SCOFF! We also live near Yangjae area and I highly recommend the cafe Keepers Market! Hope you guys have a good New Year’s Eve😸

We’ve seen that place around at a few different locations recently and are curious about it!

Cozy apt. You guys have the best bakeries, we have donuts and pan dulce( Mexican sweet bread ) pizza looked amazing. We didn’t have turkey this year either, families all doing their own things. Those cookies I like to have when I’m sewing. Your sweater is cute. HAPPY NEW YEAR

Lovely Christmas ❤ our family Christmas is also chill and cozy despite the fact that here is summer and most people celebrate like in party mood hehe Everytime i see the Gray kitty my heart melts she's so cute 🥰 I thought of Beemo Christmas pictures last year ❤

[@tealorturquoise]

A nice chill Christmas is the way to go. I hadn't heard about the plane crash so thank you for the info. My heart goes out to those who've lost people.

@@2hearts1seoul Would you ever consider adopting one of them? They are all so sweet, but I especially would wish for Grey to find a loving home.

[@2hearts1seoul]

@@daydreamer054 No, we don’t plan on adopting another cat, but we will continue to care for our neighborhood kitties by making sure they’re well-fed and have warm shelters for winter 🏠 Grey is such an outdoor cat and has been since we’ve known her for about 7+ years. She’d be miserable suddenly being cooped up in a tiny Seoul apartment.

Hi Sarah! Hi Kyuho! Merry Christmas! I’m so happy that you had a chill holiday celebration. Sarah, the soup looked amazing, so comforting on a cold night, and watching a very classic Christmas movie was perfect. Your shortbread cookies looked scrumptious too. I’m super excited you guys! My girlfriend’s son is in the army and will be stationed at Osan Air Force Base, beginning next year. We are already talking about visiting Korea in 2026. Traveling around with you guys (virtually), throughout the years, has me so wanting to visit the many places that you’ve shared. My girlfriend is a librarian, and she really wants to visit the library that you took us too! Can I just say, how much I loved how Kyuho got together with his college buds for dinner?!? Definitely keep that going as long as you can. Five of my former co-workers’ and I became besties back in 1984. We get together throughout the year, but Christmas is our big celebration. We just celebrated our 40th year together. I’m the baby at age 63, the oldest is 85. I’m truly blessed to have them in my life, and I’m so looking forward to them driving to my house, for our traditional Japanese Oshogatsu/Osechi celebration that my side of the family has. Our son arrived from Oregon yesterday, and loves to help me cook, so we will begin shopping for the special ingredients today. I wish you both and your families’ a very healthy and happy New Year! Please take care. I look forward to 2025, your amazing vlogs, you guys traveling everywhere, and more family time! ❤

[@2hearts1seoul]

Merry Christmas! 🎄 The soup took a while to make, but it turned out great and we got 3 meals out of it, so it was definitely worth it 😎 You should definitely visit Korea in 2026 and see all the places you’re interested in in person! ☺️ A couple of the friends Kyuho met up with went to high school with him in India, so they have known each other for a long time-even I’ve known them now for over 10 years! 😳 Hope you have a healthy and happy new year! ✨

[@skatingcanuck9837]

I am too focused on the Jeju Air tragedy to watch your video, but appreciate that you acknowledge it. I stumbled across a video posted today from a channel to which I am subscribed. They are Americans currently employed in Korea. I commented about the Jeju Air tragedy (which they did not mention) and just got angry hate from some of her non-Korean followers. It is so important that vloggers acknowledge the world outside youtube and the country/ hand that feeds them (especially if they are foreigners).

[@ogrejd]

Mmm... Summer savory goes so well with chicken. Makes even the canned stuff good. :P Sigh. It was nice to have a white Christmas in Halifax for once, but we're back to the drizzle and rain today. :(

I feel sad that Korean families lost their loved ones on that plane in Muan recently. Back in College in the Philippines, , in a very public university, coz the private ones were expensive. , I had Korean friends and enjoyed their company. Some of the nicest people I was friends with, most were also 😂Christians and celebrated Christmas with us.

All those kitty cats are a chunky bunch of cats 🐱! Getting fed regularly by the tenants of the apartment complex there !

[@2hearts1seoul]

2-3 meals a day 🐷 gotta keep them chubby and warm for the winter.

[@linasweden]

Can't you find a cat home for the feral cats? For the feral cats I help, we always put straw in the boxes, this stops moisture from getting into the nest. I love that you help them so mutch

[@2hearts1seoul]

We make a few cat houses for them every winter and the protruding bit plus the door flaps at the entrance keeps out moisture. We looked for straw here, but unless you’re way out in the countryside, it’s very hard to get your hands on.

[@claimsandwarranties6121]

Im so sorry to even ask but you have two little white cat figurines and I would like to know where one might get something like that or similar? I am a cat person and I have a white girl... Simplicity of those two together are lovely and I always look for them in your vids...Jennifer

Hello, Love your content...but cannot hear your comments when your outside. Can you wear the microphones or subtitles. Keep up good work.

[@tanzanable]

Is boxing such a popular sport there that they have a special day for it?

[@2hearts1seoul]

“Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated after Christmas Day, occurring on the second day of Christmastide (26 December). Boxing Day was once a day to donate gifts to those in need, but it has evolved to become a part of Christmas festivities, with many people choosing to shop for deals on Boxing Day. It originated in the United Kingdom and is celebrated in several Commonwealth nations.” 📦

[@tanzanable]

@@2hearts1seoul Thanks! I've not heard of this. Why do Coreans celebrate it since they're not a Commonwealth nation?

[@2hearts1seoul]

I’m guessing because the owner of the shop must have lived abroad (she speaks fluent English) and held a Boxing Day sale :)

[@mjmj734]

⁠@@tanzanableKoreans don't celebrate boxing day, actually I've never heard of it!

[@MsCrispykreme]

I donated to you guys for hospital bills for Beemo. If you're a huge cat lover, why don't you rescue & adopt one of the feral cats and give a warm loving home??

[@2hearts1seoul]

Wow, thank you so much for the donation 🥺 Our neighborhood cats are too used to living outside and would likely not adjust well to living in our tiny Seoul apartment. That being said, we provide them with warm winter shelters and feed them 2-3x a day, so we’re always looking out for them. Also, we decided 2 years ago we would not be adopting another cat, since what we what went through for 3 years of Beemo’s illness was so emotionally and financially draining. We always need a lot of food for the kitties, specifically in the winter months, so we will put your donation towards keeping them fat for the winter ❤️

[@jameschang2873]

I miss Beemo, I hope they get another cat! RIP Beemo!

[@2hearts1seoul]

We miss Beemo every day 💔 We aren’t adopting another cat-we’re fulfilled with our neighborhood kitties being in our lives 🐈
