“It’s Christmas” Carrie that maybe the funniest thing you have said so far during this Vlogmas!

[@gailryder2731]

The Sound of Music, basically because it was shown on TV in late November or mid December when I was growing up.

[@abigaillark5645]

Me too but always on new years day ! X

[@elinewllms]

My grandma loved sound of music so we watched it for Christmas each year !

[@Eva-ow7pu]

My flatmate puts onions in the fridge because she was taught growing up that they stay fresh that way. Not only is this completely untrue, but onions will actually go off faster in the fridge than in a cupboard. And yet, despite being faced with mouldy onions whenever she goes away for a few days, she continues to do it. Bizarre.

[@AmberWoodMusicx]

I hope someone helps her out...

[@ny5435]

Omg really? We keep our onions in the fridge 😂

[@Fran413100]

@@ny5435 same!

[@3Sofaa]

I grew up keeping bread and oil in the fridge which I'm not sure you're supposed to do. 🤔😄

[@Lioness99a]

@@3Sofaa I keep bread in the fridge during the summer because it goes mouldy too fast in the bread bin but I much prefer it during the cooler months when it doesn't live in the fridge, I find that it goes stale quicker in the fridge

[@oswinaltava]

A film I have to watch at Christmas is Narnia, mostly the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, I think it's because it's always on TV this time of year, and it's all wintery for a lot of the film, and Father Christmas appears

[@kayisfish]

us too!

[@katherineshideouslaughter]

Omg yes

[@3Sofaa]

I feel like Carrie's new thing is: "Surprise, this is the end of the video. Bet you didn't see that coming." 😂💖

[@all_is_well_Mara]

Hahahhaa yes, I’m always so surprised 😂 I miss the double click thingy with the pinky!

[@3Sofaa]

@@all_is_well_Mara Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that. 😄

[@vickivickivicki17]

about the greasing tins, my grandma always taught me to use left over bits of baking/parchment paper. (p.s. mince pies are the BEST xmas food!❤️)

[@PS-DLMA]

Same regarding baking paper

[@lizbuf]

Same!

[@rosadiaz1739]

yesss i do that❤️

[@jusmarch3740]

yes exactly. same. I think that's the reason as well. x

[@lauraburns2429]

About the film: Ever After: A Cinderella Story.

[@fernc6709]

Yes!! I love that movie at Christmas! I also watch Anastasia

[@theonlyenekoeneko]

Ever After is my comfort film for any time of year but especially Christmas ☺️

[@FabulousFrostine]

I ADORE that movie

[@Geaniesk8]

The film question: Little Women (Winona Ryder version)

[@sugarmaddi]

Me too!

[@leahstalkingagain]

HARD SAME!

[@emmahawken9370]

Yesssssss

[@Jennalee476]

YES!

[@watchlistenwrite]

Yes! At least there are a few Christmas scenes in that movie.

[@gabrielamorenovera9077]

Awww seeing Carrie and Oliver together now makes me sad.

[@bastiman85]

I would be afraid the tin foil would scratch the tray...

[@marthawilkinson3238]

I was thinking that!

[@jessicaw8225]

We always did it with kitchen roll so it wouldn’t scratch the tin

[@princesslola1234]

I think baking paper would be a better alternative

[@barbaracosh9591]

Keep the butter papers in the fridge and use them when needed

[@kerryfowler7118]

Yes. The butter paper to grease or kitchen roll.

[@floorbroer1019]

I cried at Carrie trying to put the mega turkey back in the fridge😂😂

[@inezvink7662]

For the film: The first Narnia movie! It just has the cozy christmas aesthetic at the beginning that makes it christmassy for me

[@katedawson1598]

Sometimes I'm just in awe of how pretty you are.

[@polissandra6843]

the whole star wars series I can't have a Christmas Eve without this movies

[@TanaAllByHerself]

The 2003 adaptation of Peter Pan is the film for me. Always watch it whenever it's on, no matter how far into the film it is!

[@maexlou]

OMG! I cannot begin to describe how in love I was with Jeremy Sumpter. This was the first movie I ever watched in English. Thank you for remiding me. I will have to give it go this season :)

[@TanaAllByHerself]

@@maexlou It's my favourite film ever! I even have a tattoo of the two stars on my ankle because of it!

[@Chloe-mi4me]

I just commented that without seeing this comment!!! It’s just so beautiful 🥺

[@elphie93]

Everyone was in love with Jeremy Sumpter - I had a huge crush on Jason Isaacs! 🤭

[@VanessaxSedgwick]

I loved the little justification you gave for eating a mince pie before dinner ... “it’s Christmas” has been my excuse for everything the past few weeks 🤣

[@sarah.93.30]

Meet Me In Saint Louis, every year without fail. Sort of, kind of, not really a Christmas movie. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas everyone! :)

[@hudsonchapman8564]

i want someone to look at me the way carrie and ollie look at each other bc they’re so in love.

[@nrg1123]

You're right Carrie, the meat sandwich leftovers are the best part of Christmas dinner!

[@annnavlogs]

"The Sound of Music" is one of those non-Christmas Christmas movies for me. It always seems to be on TV at least once in the lead up to Christmas, so I guess I'm not alone, haha.

[@claraalexander7288]

The Sound of Music! Every Christmas

[@Midrog_]

Every year I have to watch Hook! It's just not Christmas without it!

[@ChloeandAlex]

The Harry Potter films! We watch all of them during the lead up to Christmas

[@Alexistellesco]

The first time I ever watched the BBC Merlin was during Christmas so I rewatch the entire series every December and call it Merlin Month.

[@goldstarsforall]

Honestly. Get yourself a man that looks at you the same way Oliver looks at Carrie.

[@musicismyhomegirl1]

My film is Cool Runnings. I don’t know why. It’s always on one of the National Irish channels at Christmas

[@aliceloftus]

Omg cool runnings is an absolute classic and so underrated

[@cveal7225]

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! Watch it most years, normally at the beginning of December. It’s like dipping the toe into the festive spirit

[@dgm01994]

Regarding the film: I agree with the philosopher stone and for its also the sound of music

[@KatieAliceGamer]

What if your mum is a vampire, Carrie? 🤔

[@AmberWoodMusicx]

A question that needs an answer

[@hattie2525]

This was also my first thought 🧛‍♀️

[@all_is_well_Mara]

Carrie’s half vampire then?! Ooohhh!

[@kimberleyharris8300]

The Sound of Music is one i watch every year without fail!

[@baylay1062]

I was taught to grease pans by putting butter on a paper towel, so similar to you!

[@melissarmc]

Bedknobs and broomsticks. Every year its not boxing day without it.

[@lindseybrashear6542]

Edward Scissorhands is one that isn't a Christmas movie but always makes me think of Christmas. I think it has to do with the snow and the ice sculptures that make it that way.

[@meadow9220]

For greasing the tins we always use the paper the butter was rapped in ... we use butter dishes so when we put the butter in them, we keep the grease proof paper and fold it up in the fridge until we need it :)

[@milliemay5678]

i normally use either grease proof paper or kitchen roll for butter. i don’t know if it’s right but that’s how my nan taught me 😂

[@disneyfam4309]

Me too 🤣

[@Jaydkershaw]

Me three

[@wendyhayton970]

[@ashhhlgh]

Kitchen roll for me too!

[@tillycollard]

Just the thumbnail made my heart melt, you two are so cute and utterly deserve one another! Thank you for always making me smile ❤️✨

[@nikkiwithfries]

Not a film but I had a tradition to watch NBCs Chuck on Christmas... I used to spend it alone and this was a way of making it special by watching my fave show

[@ronnepony]

oh the sound of music is a Christmas essential for me for sure

[@PinkHulk1992]

The film that i have to watch every Christmas is Thumbelina as me and my mum always watched it on our VCR after we had opened our presents cause the Christmas i got Thumbelina we watched it after we opened our presents cause i couldnt wait to watch it and now its a tradition we have kept for 26 years and i still watch it even though Mum passed away 9 years ago it always make me smile and think of her when i watch it xx

[@3tamii3]

For me it’s Harry Potter, but all of them! Every year I have a pre-Christmas HP marathon and I love it.

[@misshotchocolate2011]

The Sound of Music and weirdly, The Great Escape. They were just always on TV at this time of year and my grandparents would put them on. Dont watch The Great Escape so much any more but still love SoM

[@HelenRosemarySmith]

Prince Hans-Sanitiser 😂😂

[@maryproctor8615]

Christmas doesn’t feel right until I see a slipper and a rose- it just makes me feel so happy and Christmassy

[@bbrobin1011]

For me it’s the Sound of Music. It used to play every Christmas Eve when I was a kid and I would always force the family to watch it, even though I had seen the move a thousand times!

[@everythiniscominuppuddin1841]

Definitely sound of music, I remember watching it Christmas Eve with my dad and all my siblings one year and it just feels like Christmas to me.

[@hannahfinch6692]

Our Christmas films consist of mostly musicals and Disney because we’re normally working right up to Christmas so it’s the only time we can watch films. This year we’ve been binge watching Christmas films, starting with the Nativity series as we know one of the children in the fourth one 🎄

[@EA-fv8dq]

I've been off sick for two days and watched vlogmas 2020. You have a such a beautiful energy Carrie and you've inspired me to see the good and always be kind xx ❤

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

Parchment paper not tin foil but that’s how I was taught. Or the actual butter wrapper!

[@megandodd9166]

YES I am in total agreement with you about HP and the Philosopher’s Stone - watched it yesterday with my family!!!

[@TaylorYoungTY]

Anastasia, its debatable if its a christmas movie but i love it so much i only watch in once a year to not overdo it. I wait til the right festivy feels night and cry my heart out watching it

[@donnaprice6749]

Definitely The sound of music 🎄

[@imogenday9968]

Not a movie but Vicar of Dibley is always on in the festive season 😂 and maybe Wallace and Gromit because it was always on the telly around Christmas! x

[@HelenRosemarySmith]

Those are both such good choices 😂 they've done some lockdown vicar of dibleys!

[@ankicat3425]

"Home Alone", a childhood favourite and it still is. (I'm old lol)

[@VictoriasVintage]

The Railway Children (1970) makes me feel so Christmassy!

[@sweetForgiveness]

"I look horrible" while he is def. Serving us prince Eric looks with that shirt and that hair and that face

[@lisablackwell2]

The Great Escape was always on TV every Christmas when I was young so that’s ‘one of those films’ for me 😀

[@ChloePersistentBookworm]

Singin’ In The Rain is my non-Christmas Christmas movie. It’s always on tv at some point over the festive period, usually Christmas Day, and I have to watch it every year.

[@hmg191]

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Because A) It's always on TV around that time and B) It's incredibly nostalgic (especially if you live in England)

[@abbiehorncastle7461]

My Nana used to use the excess baking paper from lining a cake tin to grease the tin! And my family always watches Oliver! at Christmas 🎄

[@bryonysmith2380]

My sister and I have watched the 2012 Les Mis film adaptation every Christmas Day for maybe six years now? The most cheerful way to celebrate 100%

[@JenCoYT]

The Railway Children, its mums favourite so it always winds up on your screen this time of year

[@LivingLife233]

In Norway almost everyone watches a German-Czech version of Cinderella from the 70s that is dubbed by one Norwegian man on the morning of Christmas eve. It makes no sense, but it's tradition!

[@trixiftube]

Best Cinderella version ever - until Carrie‘s comes along, of course. I watch the German original.

[@Maraike]

Aschenbrödel! 😄

[@HelenRosemarySmith]

Is that drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel? 😄 I saw a stage show version of it once

[@trixiftube]

@@HelenRosemarySmith That‘s the one 👍🏻.

[@HelenRosemarySmith]

@@trixiftube fab 😄 are there songs in the film?

[@graytaylor10]

The first harry potter does have Christmas init, when harry gets the invisibility cloak, mine has to be Back to the future xx

[@Frankenzebra]

It might be a thing of it being kids you've "grown up with" as well, and the music in the first one just... Yeah 😂

[@AchmelvichIsAce]

I always think of Stardust as a Christmas film, my sister was given it as a secret santa present when we were at school, so we watched it that evening, then it became a tradition for me and my sisters to watch it every year on the day we broke up for Christmas

[@Rebecca-nb4kv]

The sound of music every year 🎄🎁

[@sophiefinney5718]

The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe!!

[@0oFlicko0]

The Czech Cinderella is a Christmas must-watch

[@herecomeslemon25]

I'm never this early, how exciting! Love your whole Vlogmas!

[@stephen24601]

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! Which ironically was also the first musical I saw in London at the Palladium, aged 8. It was one of the most magical memories from my childhood and when 11 years later I came to see you in Les Mis, initially had no idea that I had seen you in the West End before a long time ago! 7 years on...I'm still here!! Thanks for all the videos this year Carrie & for continuing to lift our spirits as always. Hope you, Oliver & Edgar have a wonderful Christmas :)

[@HelenRosemarySmith]

I also saw Chitty aged about 8 and then Les Mis about 11 years later 😄

[@hannahr9177]

To jazz up jarred mincemeat add a grated apple or orange zest, or some orange juice. Just elevates the flavours while keeping life easy!

[@sc6139]

Sound of Music. We have always watched it at Christmas for some reason! Also yes on Mary Poppins and now Mary Poppins Returns as well!

[@molly4556]

Basically since the only time im at my parents house is at Christmas, it's become tradition to just watch our box sets. So now harry potter, LOTR and Pride and Prejudice are all Christmas movies. Since we know them so well, we pop on one or two in the afternoon while baking or playing board games. Now it wouldnt be "right" if we didnt get through them all within the week. xx

[@MeganAnne89]

Your makeup is on point!! Loving the different eyeshadows 💕

[@fernsabulsky918]

So every year on Christmas eve my mom, sister and I watch Star Trek 4 and it's a wonderful life and we eat toasted cheerios. Idk where the tradition came from but its always what I look forward to the most

[@rushesforescapism]

I feel the same about the first HP movie! And about Mean Girls. The way I see it is that if a film follows its characters through the Christmas season and Christmas makes a big appearance, even if it isn't a Christmas movie, then it naturally fits in that group of "not Christmas Christmas movies." Hagrid dragging the massive Christmas tree in the snow, Harry being overwhelmed by the fact that he's got presents for the first time, Mrs. Weasley knitting Harry his own sweater as a gift - such pivotal moments in the film that make it seem more Christmassy than not. For Mean Girls, so much of Janice's plan revolves around the Christmas performance, so same goes for that movie too! Just my little two cents about the phenomenon of certain not Christmas Christmas movies. (and about butter, my mum uses either a bit of parchment paper or the butter wrapper - I just use my fingers!)

[@HelenRosemarySmith]

Mean Girls is a great film for all seasons 😄

[@Biokamikaetzchen]

'Three Wishes for Cinderella' the Czech film from 1973 is one of my absolute favourites. It's is very popular in Germany and is broadcast every year around Christmas time... 😊

[@fayevieren4072]

About Time! It's so wholesome and lovely and feels like a big hug

[@ju1iaaaaa160]

The Hobbit - all 3 films. I don't know why, but cosying up on the sofa for three movies is the best thing around this time 😍

[@wild.endeavours]

I'm the same with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone! My mum and I always watch the first two Bridget Jones films. They're just films we always seemed to watch together over the years so at Christmas when we get to spend quality time together it only seems fitting. Plus they're just very feel-good films.

[@nyntje3478]

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone for me as well. I think it's because it's the only HP movie with a Christmas scene in it. Just the magical Christmas looks so awesome!

[@ellemental_offerings]

The Shining is my go-to Christmas movie.

[@GemEvans]

Every Christmas I have to watch bedknobs and broomsticks. It just always seems to be repeated at Christmas and one year it wasn’t so I bought the dvd so I can always watch it at this time of year!

[@musicaltheatrek2945]

Christmas is anything Carry On... Boxing Day, snuggled in front of my grandparents fire place and a knitted blanket!

[@ameliac8102]

Disney Fantasia is a Christmas must!

[@emmhiggss]

Chitty chitty bang bang is a proper traditional Christmas movie in my family! Must be watched either Christmas eve or boxing day

[@jacobalfonso25]

The film for me is Trading Places. It is kind of set around Christmas and New Years.

[@maisieholland7218]

Absolutely agree, a Harry Potter marathon is Christmas for me!!

[@vikkiparfitt1633]

My nan taught me to butter a tin with kitchen roll and for me as soon as I hear the Star Wars theme tune it reminds me of Christmas. A New Hope was always on at Christmas time x

[@aleishalyon3520]

Loved to see Oliver again! Merry Christmas too you both xx

[@joyce2624]

Oh it's definitely 'the sound of music' or the whole 3 part miniseries about the Austrian Empress Sisi. Like the old, german spoken mini series. No clue why, but I just remember it from my childhood.

[@annieoakley4714]

Films I have to watch at Christmas- a James bond film after dinner and also have to watch the snowman the night before Christmas

[@hattie2525]

Every year for the last 10 years friends and have gone to the Lake District in December (except this year 😥) and we always watch Chalet Girl. Although there is snow it isn't technically a Christmas movie but gives me all the cozy festive vibes.

[@ainakofficial]

True to all norwegians (well most at least) we have to watch "Tři oříšky pro Popelku" (Three Gifts for Cinderella) which is a Czechoslovak/East German fairy-tale film from 1973. The movie is dubbed to norwegian where one actor has all the voices, and is probably one of the weirdest Christmas traditions we have. We also have "Dinner for one" from 1963 on the night before christmas, even though the plot is set to new years eve. Of "normal" movies you do have the BBC series "The Chronicles of Narnia" from 1988 that makes me go right into christmas mood. And "Die Hard".

[@aribailey8405]

Your sunset make up looks so pretty omg

[@demidesi9271]

For my family it's Princess Bride since we always end up watching it near the holidays! (Also I think it's so cute that you're doing daily walks with your mum since my mom and I have started doing workouts every day of my winter break as well :)

[@claremackay1755]

The Wizard of Oz! As a kid I’d always circle it in the Radio Times and eagerly await it. Even now, the scene where Dorothy opens the door and the film turns from black and white to colour takes my breath away - so magical plus there are all those iconic songs to sing along to x x ps love the rustic mince pies, save one for Santa...

[@ellieatkinson1710]

Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban! I think it’s something to do with them throwing snowballs and Malfoy,Crabbe and Goyle. That and the snow scenes that makes me feel so Christmassy!😂❤️
