it's getting christmassy !!! *starbucks testing, gingerbread houses and more*

[@TheKoalaCharis]

It's been a rubbish mental health day today. Christmas cheer with the grack is just what I needed. Thankyou for being such a ray of sunshine ♥️🌞

[@lindsaylovestorun]

Tomorrow is a fresh start. Sending good vibes

[@livelaughslayy]

Hope you’re doing better! Look after yourself xx

[@TheKoalaCharis]

Thankyou it's a much better today ♥️

[@isaacdorue]

I found your channel with a Christmas video, don't know how many years ago (2020 felt like a decade) We were a small bunch back then but now so many people found your channels and it fills me with such joy because you are the sweetest (+ lil' chaotic) company we all realised we needed

[@pearljoslyn9947]

So excited for Grack Christmas content! I've been rewatching your old vlogmas videos in anticipation for December

[@meursaultscourtroom8886]

The trick to porridge is finding the topping that makes it yummy for you. Porridge is like plain bread, it needs to be taken up a notch. My favorites are cocoa and peanut powder with a touch of syrup or chopped apples and a little caramel sauce.

[@dees3179]

My dad puts sultanas in his. I like sugar on mine. I have porridge for breakfast for the next two days. It’s freezing here and everything is damp. It will warm me up but sadly won’t dry the washing!

[@LOUISE__97]

Christmas season is prime Grack season! You are such a staple of my holidays! 🥰

[@ThePerviegirl]

I had to say goodbye to my dog four weeks ago and I really need the Christmass-cheer-up vlog. Thank you for all your videos. They always make my day brighter 💜

[@Emily_Simpson]

We’re coming up on the one year anniversary of saying goodbye to my childhood pup next week 💜 Grace always makes me feel better too. Sending you love and positive vibes

[@marlajacques6947]

Ouch that hurts, I feel you. Been there more than once but I still believe they’re always with us. Hope you’re able to enjoy the holidays a bit anyways

[@thisisele]

so sorry to hear that 😞

[@maurakuma]

Sooooo needed this! Cant wait for the festive vibes ❤

[@meera2165]

I'm exactly the same with breakfast lol! Try porridge with the choc orange spread mixed in!

[@bethanknight5844]

So looking forward to the Grackle Christmas content 🥰 I’d love to see you do a video where you compare different gingerbread house kits and find which is the best one 😊

[@ruth6121]

For porridge if it's the texture that puts you off try cutting a banana into bite size chunks and mixing it in, then with each spoonful get a piece of banana

[@rebeccaherbert6361]

Absolutely love your videos Grace! Would love to have gift guides such as: Gift guides under £15, Guide guides under £50, Luxury gift guide Can’t wait for all the Christmas videos ❤

[@tratatat]

I absolutely loved the quick jumps between clips! It just felt so natural, I don't know if you've just always been doing it and I'm just that slow or if it was something you haven't done in a while, but yeah, very nice!

[@JasOlivia-w13]

omg Grace you should try the drinks as Frappachinos!!! you can get them cream based too!!!! so no coffee - get the caramel waffle / gingerbread / toffee nut latte ones!!!!!

[@krrrstyyyn__7625]

You should try steel cut oats for your next porridge journey - the oat itself is much larger and has a firmer texture (kind of like quinoa but larger) so it doesn't have the same consistency as regular rolled oats when cooked (the tradeoff is you have to cook steel cut oats longer, but you can make a big batch and it's totally worth it). You can dress it up the same way as any other oatmeal but may prefer the texture!

[@emilyhumphreythompso]

Pleaseee link the duvet... im looking for a new one and yours looked incred :) x

[@Hollie_GoldenViper]

Grace, you need to try jumbo oats! I tend to soak them overnight with soya milk and then in the morning add some banana or cinnamon. It's lovely... (I also don't like normal oats but these are different!). X

[@dominiquekelleher98]

Grace, you have impeccable timing. love the video, as always xxxx

[@amyjones4744]

loved this video as always grace :) you're always such a wonderfully positive person xx

[@XthecadburykidX]

Hey Grace, you said you would link the duvet below but I can’t find the link 😭 could you post it for us cosy-seeking people? Thank you!

[@aliplay5]

Can you link the duvet please? 🙏

[@gini_b]

Grace, I used to hate porridge too. UNTIL... I realised I like mine wet. Mornflake Creamy Superfast Oats (1/2 cup), then double the amount of milk (1 cup). Loosey goosey, baby! Also, add the best toppings ever for a good time - Nutella, Biscoff spread... Loving the Christmas vibes, I'm putting the tree up today cos I NEED IT

[@jessicanicholson1724]

You can use the circle bit of a house key instead of a £1 for trollies!

[@jodieclement3816]

Where’s the duvet from please? ☺️ looks sooo cosy ❤

[@kaleylockhart4486]

I don’t like porridge either so I eat it more like a hot cereal. I heat milk to a warm temp then mix the oats, granola and toppings. It doesn’t make the gloopy texture and I enjoy it a lot!

[@alissa379]

Grace I recently tried a hot chocolate with whip cream and a shot of chai from Starbucks, it was great! If you like hot chocolate and chai, I'd recommend

[@natashasharman6624]

I would love to see video where you do a stocking for each member of your family !! 🧦🎁

[@mary.mb2616]

tip for porridge Grace! since you like Ready Brek (don’t we all) blend your oats up into a fine flour and make your porridge on the hob as normal - then it tastes exactly like Ready Brek! not all stodgy and lumpy like regular porridge 😊

[@lindsaylovestorun]

Yes a gift guide split into interests would be really unique

[@krist30]

Hello Grace from Greece 🇬🇷 Love Christmas so much, as it is my nameday and these days I see my favorites KZbinrs uploading videos about Christmas decorations and all those magical vibes and I anticipate so much the Christmas days and the New Year's. Anyways, I hope you and your family and each one of your followers have a great Christmas time and I hope the Christmas spirit warm your hearts. ❤️❤️ 🎄 🎄

[@KarlaEmmerson]

I’m waiting on a diagnosis so it is extremely hard to rest or focus on anything else, but for 18min I got lost in this video and it cheered me right up

[@miramaramu77]

I hope everything is ok 💚

[@RAPATEXWV]

Would love to see a Craft Lovers Gift Guide and a Must Have for the Kitchen Gift Guide.

[@khadijalateef8360]

where is the duvet from ?? I need to know

[@nighthawkdragonfly8339]

Rainy day there is equivalent to cold in Canada -4 degrees celcius brr. Thanks for a great video. You always have such fun and it inspires me to console little things I enjoy

[@carrie-leehurzeler7413]

As commercial as Christmas is here in the US we have such a piddly Christmas selection especially when it comes to savoury items.

[@user-pe3kg4ju8x]

grace pls link the duvet i need it

[@imperfectlypaigey7328]

''British family celebrate thanks giving 2022!!!'' I am celebrating it this weekend with my friend who has moved all the way from Washington lol and as a fellow welsh person my excitement is not contained

[@stephanie4548]

will forever love your vlogs grace 🥰

[@CiaraWelborn1997]

Which duvet do you use?

[@nerdmaid1240]

Have you tried rice porridge? I get mine from Tesco. Like rice pudding for breakfast.

[@jacquigeldart3558]

instead of porridge, maybe try some granola or muesli with warm milk!?! Could still be a comforting wintery breakfast but still have the nice crunch!

[@louisacoote2337]

Eggs in the morning are great! Either scrambled, poached or fried, with toast and baked beans!

[@AshleyBitton]

Woohoo it's the best time of the year! I tried a pecan prailine latte the other day at starbucks and it was sooo good 😋😋😋😋

[@Meowvalous1]

Yay...Christmas is officially here!!!

[@keirakimberley6409]

i have got to say starbucks brownies are amazing. i love the smores or cokkies and cream one. also for porrage try some of the flavered ones or adding things like the chocolate orange spread or jam to it, may make it less plain.

[@yvonnena8944]

Soup for breakfast is great!

[@alexanderschwarm7755]

Loved this video, as usual! You win every time 💖

[@staco9282]

Add your fave topping and sauces to porridge then you might like it, i have cherries, flaked almonds and sometimes nutella on mine.

[@alexandriawest]

I like porridge best with *bare minimum* ground flaxseed mixed in, preferably also chia seeds - totally change the texture and taste for me, makes it far easier to eat. Then I put a ton of frozen raspberries or blueberries on the top and there's one with every mouthful (and let's be real, often chocolate chips as well).

[@amyyyshiolou2073]

I’m so excited for the gift guide ahh!!!

[@dawnmolloy9351]

I’m so ready for Vlogmas!!!

[@sharongliebe343]

I live in Pennsylvania so I don't know if it's in England or not but my kids love cream of wheat and cocoa wheat with peanut butter when it cold outside.

[@elisabethbrunner4671]

Loving the content 😍

OhmygoshOhmygosh OhmygoshOhmygosh CHRISTMAS 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 🎄🎄🎄🎄✝️✝️✝️

[@tassssk]

I’m the same with porridge, keep going back always end up hating it😭

[@cattenshi4213]

Can I borrow Banksy as my winter scarf for this season? You WILL be doing a more detailed M&S holiday goodies vlog right? Loved the choco house, but I agree w/you re the piping, should have included a small tube of white for decorating & a tiny edible wreath LOL

[@charlottesaunders1601]

Do a video- a day of trying London’s best porridge!!! Become a porridge lover!!!

[@livinglife8333]

Do you have malto meal or cocoa wheats type of things there? I’m not a fan of oatmeal but love the farina type of hot cereal.

[@ylvavie2890]

I always hear your accent in my head after watching your videos even though my actual british impressions are horrendous LOL😂❤

[@curlyprincess1]

I am also watching motherland at the moment, so funny!

[@hansybunnys7748]

Hey Grace, hoping you will see this. Off to London today *thinking Camden and after your current fave cafes/bakeries to check out xx

[@ferngable1638]

focaccia is said like fo-ca-cha (ci together in italian makes a CH sound, then you add an a)

[@angiewatson9870]

Thank you much love xx

[@ellinor9777]

You didn’t link the duvet :(

[@livinglife8333]

Anyone know where the link she mentioned for the duvet is?

[@patriciacorlis8488]

Grace, miss a taste test with your Dad. I think you might have to do a Christmas one with him.

[@inbodiednature3904]

I LOVEEEE your kitty kitty. She looks a lotttt like my boy Meeko. 😻

[@NOSHWITHNESS]

Strangely I feel the same way about olives that you feel about porridge 🥣 😅

[@JessRose96]

This is me being really nosey but can anyone explain Grace's bedroom situation...I swear she's been in 3 different rooms over the past year?! Like the attic, the one now, the old school one...I'm confused

[@abigailsaunders5761]

I assume she’s just switching about cause her siblings have moved out

[@lp7931]

Duvet cover link?? Please🙏

[@ritaakalele4801]

With you on the porridge Grace because it's Rancid i will be a 33 year old eating ready brek. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@hollie531]

Anyone else say ‘no!’ out loud when she asked if she should try porridge again lol

[@LittleMew133]

I have tried oatmeal for 8732 times, thinking THIS time, I will finally like it. Hasn't happened yet.

[@abiduh6879]

Love your videos !

[@Kari_B61ex]

I'm not finding it cold - BUT I live in Devon (Southwest UK) I'm looking forward to Grack Christmas.

[@kaitseb8053]

Woww they sell Starbucks syrups in the UK and that polar bear mug 😭😭😭

[@wcr14]

I know this is probably a really daft comment. But think I've only just realised Banksy may be named after the street Artist? Plus with your parents being so Arty. Watched your Vlogs for ages and can't believe only just had this thought 😅

[@Justbirdperson]

They have capsule hotels in Amsterdam! Iknow you mentioned in a previous vid how you wanted to go to a capsule hotel + where thinking of maybe checking out amsterdam so I had to share! Check out bedstee boutique or cityhub :-) also there are so much nice museums in Amsterdam(nemo, van gogh, anne frank house, Rijksmuseum) + great foodie places and "hofjes" and if you are into classical music or want to go to an opera, amsterdam is a great place to go :) just dont go to the red district :/ all that is just nasty and very trousity and totally not how the Netherlands is

[@alicebray7003]

Baked oats!! Pretty sure you had a baked oats phase. Also remember when you had the finger waffle phase ☺️

[@alicebray7003]

As I pressed “send” on this you made baked oats 😂

[@laurawilliamson888]

And frigging weird dreams also. 😁

[@bears5501]

I like it that you couldn't move the cat bec it looked so comfy.. we r also like that with our cats 🙂

[@jonap5740]

Hi Grace, I'd love it if you could film in M&S, but more slowly so we in foreign parts can see what is there. Same with Sainsbury. I don't know if you don't like to film in stores or if it is not allowed, but I'd love to see what they carry. BTW, Starbucks in ON, CA never has anything nearly as nice as your store has!

[@kirstysmith2757]

Can we have a foodie gift guide please

[@enn-yah8574]

YOU have a great great day!

[@Sthemingway]

Based on all the videos I've seen where you talk about not liking porridge even though you like soup, porridge/oatmeal can be too watery to taste good. If you can do homemade oatmeal squares, then a thicker porridge may appeal (with flavors that you know you'd like). Or, if you're keen on training your palette to be okay with the texture, make yourself some lentil soup that has more broth than lentil and see what that's like?

[@jenniferbraun2654]

Xmas Eve jammies!!!!

[@AlioH89]

It's all about baked oats for me now that it's cold mmm. Edit: I typed this message before you decided on baked oats 😅

[@evelineroth6176]

What are bobles (?sp) that your friend and sister get? American here lol

Baubles, but she’s referring to ornaments.

[@makeithungrish5037]

The Cadbury house would not do well in an Aussie Christmas haha

Porridge with brown sugar and cream is the way to go. No fruit, no milk.

[@farahvotersen6675]

Oh wow! Must be nice having the 180g and 110g Cadburys still 😔 we've been downgraded to 150g and 80g. It's a noticeable difference and means you gotta get extra when following certain recipes.
