Ok, I am admittedly very late to this Christmas Vlog but I wanted to say this was great. You visited a lot of special places and I really appreciated that you showed prices along with the sites you visited. Christmas is my favorite time of year and New York is my favorite city. So thank you!!

[@oliviawenke]

LOVE love love all your vlogs so much! Especially these "days for Xmas", just feel like living in NYC myself. Such a dream that I could not have right now. Thank you for bringing all the good vibes to me! Having a cup of coffee by hand, and watching your vlogs, gives me comfort and strength! A meaningful reminder that I still have something good to fight for.

[@stefaniegoettingen]

Ohlala Chantal…you hit a spot on my travellist…now I want to come to NY so badly. Thank you so much for this x-mas shopping insights and best wishes from Germany! 🎄❤

[@nathanmonreo1793]

I love your content! New York in winter has a different charm especially at Christmas and you are definitely capturing it! I'm following all the Christmas vlogs and I definitely can't wait to see where you take us in each episode!

[@taradc6037]

Love this video!! We visited NYC for the first time this past August and had the absolute best time exploring the city. But my absolute dream is to visit during the holidays! It’s def on my bucket list for my next trip there!!✨

[@alana_reina]

Ugh NYC in December is suchhh a vibe! I went to La Grande Boucherie last November and loved it but wanna go again during the holidays. Also I'm planning on going to the new Ralphs in Miami at the Aventura Mall when I'm down there in a couple weeks - not exactly the NYC vibes but I'm still excited 😂

[@laurastone6578]

So enjoyed seeing all your travels, Chantal. Especially loved the filming of the clothes and purses in those small boutique shops. Your top you wore at La Grande Boucherie looked so pretty on you. 👍

[@juancarballo9101]

Thank you much for this! I’m going in a few days and I’ll be following your itinerary. Thank you for adding the locations of each spot

Very very Grateful for the video❤ Thank you so much Chantel 😇😇

[@georgiasmith7615]

Great video! I definitely like Day 2 better. I’m more of a downtown and Soho person. Midtown has never appealed to me. It’s so overwhelming and touristy. I try to avoid it if I can! 😂

Love your videos! I wish I could go to NYC but I have to work! Boo. They just opened a Levain Bakery in Los Angeles and I tried the coconut chica late chip caramel flavor and it was divine!

[@taradc6037]

I live in LA too and once I found out they opened a Levain here this summer I rushed straight over there 💨🤣 My fave is the double chocolate chip 🍪

[@user-ku8mj4vb1g]

Hi,i plan to come ti NY with my family for my birthday,at 13th of november.The question is,when the christmas decoration is started,is it too early november?

[@newyorkplease]

The christmas decor typically starts to appear by the last week of November, and the Rockefeller Tree lighting is planned on Dec 4th this year, so Nov 13th is a little bit early for most of the big christmas decor.

[@kristinchong629]

🎉🎉🎉 women of youtube. Like so stunning. Like KZbin is kind of mystery to me like getting past tech and being camera shy like did youtube really just want young kids and be expensive. Like I did go to NYC art school but like watching her videos I'm like there's such a big gap between like even what youtube considers art content or even art space interactive for consumption. And oh wow youtube like a person who went to architectural school is going have a practical vocabulary and sense to pick shots over the lastest shock trend because like can a person really understand and be engaged if most of youtube is like grand theft auto. Like architect is going to understand more about environments to make immersive consumer apps. And she did all the things and it was all the work with her little cutest little bundle. Give her all the internet. What a wonderful vlogmas. 🎉🎉🎉
