Happy Christmas week, friends!!
I can't believe it's almost Christmas. Where has the time gone? I hope you enjoy this festive video. I do some shopping and then do a little haul to show you some of the decorations I got this year, we bake the most amazing egg nog and candy cane sugar cookies, I recommend some Christmas/winter books to read as well as some of my favorite cozy festive Hallmark-esque films and there's a little last minute bookish/vintage/cottagecore/dark academia gift guide at the end of the video.
Enjoy! And Merry (almost) Christmas!

If there was an award for the world's most amazing, kind, thoughtful and dedicated human being, Desi would win it. Oh my god that was 36 minutes and 46 seconds of happiness, comfort and coziness!

[@DarlingDesi]

That’s such an amazingly kind thing to say 🥺😭😭♥️😭😭 Thank you!!

[@smeenasiddiqui2374]

I also agree. 🏆. Happy 2022. Best wishes

[@vedaanderson7009]

I Very Much Agree 💯%

[@susanstones347]

P.s you are one of the sweetest people on KZbin 🤗

[@samanthagaustad6097]

Lately I haven’t been really feeling the Christmas spirit. I’m not that far into the video but I’m already feeling the Christmas spirit once more! Thanks for making my holidays better Desi! Seriously I wouldn’t be who I am today if I didn’t have you. Love you Desi! I wish you all the best and Happy Holidays!

[@DarlingDesi]

Awww, well Christmas isn’t here yet so there’s still time to get in the Christmas spirit ♥️ I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend! Thank you for your comment and sharing such kind words 🥺♥️ *sending you a virtual hug!*

[@ng790]

Have you ever seen love under the Christmas table one of my favorite Christmas movies!

[@The_Super_NOVA]

If you want an iconic Christmas movie set at the Plaza Hotel, I HIGHLY recommend Eloise at Christmastime. It's about a mischievous 6-year-old girl who lives there and gets into all sorts of adventures with the staff and other residents. So fun and hilarious!!!

[@DarlingDesi]

Yes!!! That’s another one of my favorites! ♥️

[@mapistuffyvideos5216]

omg i thought that movie was a fever dream coz it never came on tv very often, i remember watching it many times❤😊

[@Ardit-kq4bt]

That movie is good but not the best Christmas movie. The holiday is a classic imo

[@bethburleson6684]

we watch this every year. it's my nostalgic fav. I even bought the madame Alexander Christmas Eloise doll 6 years ago haha

[@AM-bm2xw]

Great suggestion, I think I will watch it with my Littles, thanks :)

[@shaneyswift3127]

Yes, reusable Christmas bags! My husband's family makes their own out of whatever Christmas material they find. When we got married they gave us a ton and I was super confused when we opened the package...my husband laughed out loud and said, "Welcome to the family, you will never have to wrap another Christmas present again." In addition to being super cute, it's way better for the environment than wrapping paper!

[@ericaascenzo6023]

10:22 OMG PIZZELLE I'm from Italy! They're similar to waffles but thiner and crunchier and our grannies always made them during festivities (not only Christmas but also Easter and birthdays and weddings etc.). Fun fact: they've got a lot of names! Each region or city or town has a different name for them... Someone call them "neole", but they went also by the name of "ferratelle" and more! They're originally from Abruzzo (which is my region) and Molise. My grandmother always told me that in the past, when she was young, these special cookies were made specifically for weddings... Back in the days they didn't organize big parties for weddings, especially in the middle or lower social classes. They usually organize a humble buffet in their houses and everyone were invited and those who can afford it brought gifts for the groom and bride; who could not buy presents brought food, for examples "pizzelle" which were considered symbol of luck and welfare. These cookies have that design on their surface because it is inspired by laces that were usually used for wedding dresses! Sorry if I made some mistakes, English is not my first language and I wrote everything under excitement! Btw, the video is amazing as usual! I love you so much Desi! Thanks for bringing comfort and joy (cit.) with every video!

[@paigeelise5421]

Christmas has always been a hard time for me ever since I was a little girl,. It has just caused unnecessary drama, chaos, stress, guilt, all that fun divorced parents stuff. You are the first one to put me into the holiday spirit in nine years. I wanted to cry while watching this because it was just so beautiful and cozy and gentle and I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You've brought true love and appreciation for this season into my heart and I can't wait to celebrate now. Desi, I truly hope that you have the merriests of christmases and the happiest of new years and thank you again 💕

[@hanaraflower2394]

OMG Silver Skates😍 I am Russian and I have been watching you for 2 years now to practice my English. This movie came out last year in Russian, and I was sure you would like it. I thought that it would be so cool if you see it one day. And now you are! And somehow it makes me sooo happy 🤗 And I just want to say thank you, for everything you do❤

[@FromPointAtoMe]

If you haven't already I would recommend The Shop Around the Corner. Another great lead by Jimmy Stewart set around the holidays.

[@user-xy4di3pd2m]

[@catiesteas]

This is professional level video making- plain and simple. I am blown away at everything: video concept, props, lighting, music, vibes, smooth and HD video… just BEAUTIFUL! ✨💕✨💕

[@HMSmueller]

Your videos always make me see the world through different eyes. A lot of the time, I forget to notice the beauty and perfection of things around me, but seeing the way you romanticize life has completely changed my outlook on life. Thank you Desi ❤ and Happy Christmas 🎄

[@mraodlelliinnse]

I would HIGHLY recommend another movie. Family Stone. It’s got the cozy, amazing cast, love story, and so much heart. I watch that and The Holiday every Christmas time.

[@kittyquinn004]

Oh my gosh Desi! After watching your “cozy day in my life” video, my sister and I had a day of making the chunky blankets (which turned out SO cute and cozy!) and making your recipe for hot cocoa (which was unbelievably delicious!). So thank you so much for that video, because now it has created a beautiful memory that my sister and I will share for years 💚

[@marygl3853]

Thanks for a festive mood, now in Moscow it's - 21°C and the sunset at 3 PM, so our main mood is sleeepy and passive ) Feel proud when you recommended «Silver Skates» inspite the fact that never seen this movie ) But I will, I promise!

[@elisaaa-art5921]

"While you were sleeping " is one of my favourite Christmas movies!!! I just love it! Me, my mum- we watch it every year, and more than 5 times in year!:D

[@lindsayp858]

This is amazing, and you know what? The idea of decorating for the season is the whole reason I don't decorate specifically for Christmas. Other than our tree, of course. But Christmas/Yule comes SO early in the Winter season. I think that's why so many people suffer from depression after Christmas. They don't give themselves anything else to look forward to! I LOVE Winter for all of it's wonderful majesty. Just go listen to Jonna Jinton talk about the singing ice! So many beautiful things.

[@sames4now]

You should read Myquillyn Smith's book Welcome Home. She talks about how we should decorate for the season not just the holiday. Applicable all year round. I love this book. 💕

[@MadiHearts]

Another under rated Christmas movie is Christmas With The Kranks starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Tim Allen. O my gosh it’s hilarious and adorable and I never hear anyone talk about it.

[@Minabot_]

I just wanted to say that your videos have helped me so much when I've felt down. Your almost child-like excitement is contagious and you make the world feelso much more magical than we are normally able to percieve it. Watching your videos is such a nice escape from the sometimes grim world into a cozy world of warth, happiness, and love. Thank you so much for the content you create and I hope you know what a positive impact you are making by sharing your joy with others.

[@haidian1322]

I don't personally like Christmas, but I love how Desi makes every little thing look so epic.

[@GlitterBug]

The vibes are immaculate! After suffering a loss in the family this year, Christmas hasn’t felt the same. This video brought me so much joy! 💕

[@Idk-bz6ki]

The "cake" in the package similar to the Panettone one that Desi called "Paluani" is a Pandoro, Paluani is the brand, Pandoro is a traditional italian Christmas sweet made from a dough similar to the panettone one but with more butter, no raisin inside and a lot of powdered sugar on the top, it's really good, try it out! :)

[@Emmalife235]

Pov.... you're watching this again almost a year later!!!!! Still in love with this video!!!! Amazing video Desi!!!!!!!

[@ZoeShears]

Christmas just isn't the same this year it feels like something has been lost somehow but I love how you romantise everything you do and we can all learn a lot from you. I have also just finished reading The Minaturist, I enjoyed the read but it left me wanting more. Any how wishing you well for Christmas and the new year, your videos are something I look forward to every time you upload

[@mikeroyster6882]

When I get my home and I put up a shelf I'm going to put up a cardinal on my shelf for Mike. His mother liked cardinals. It will be a nice addition to our collection.

[@lastcarhome]

The reusable bags reminded me of when I was very young and I would receive a sack from the neighbor for Christmas filled with tiny toys or treats. It was always a burlap sack that was reused. The smell of burlap to this day always makes me think of Christmas

[@elizabethhodgson2197]

"Meet Me in St. Louis" is another great holiday film (IMO) that takes place in 1903 right before the opening of a World's Fair. The costumes and scenery are to die for! It starts out in the summertime, then transitions into fall and Halloween, then ends at Christmas time (which is partly why it is a holiday film for me). The music is super fun and kitsch and Judy Garland is just amazing!

[@sailorarwen6101]

I literally watch that movie once a month. I never considered it a Christmas film lol

[@fionaf5760]

“If something makes you happy, why not let it make you happy?” Wow. I needed to hear that. 🥺

[@sarahweber2347]

I can't imagine how hard you must work on all of these videos, but it certainly shows. These are my comfort videos and always make me so happy. Feels like we're friends. Thank you, Desi

[@arlenecoury9976]

Sweet video! We love The Bishops Wife, with Carey Grant , The Nativity. We also love Samantha.

[@gingersal8052]

The Bishop's wife is beautiful indeed!!

[@Musichowler]

This was so cheerful! I loved it! FYI, for the pinecones, if you spray them white first, then gold, you will get the brighter metallic shade. 😊

[@alliehamilton-calhoun162]

'We don't want to kidnap squirrels'! Haha! Desi, you are such a joy! Watch the national lampoons Christmas movie to see what happens when you have a squirrel in the tree. The baby's breath looks like snow on the tree; so pretty!

[@cindrelladarling8685]

i cant explain how happy i am to see a video up after 2 weeks desi! thank you so much!❤️

[@bookshikingboots7296]

This made me feel so cozy as I'm recovering from a major surgery and it gave me an escape for a while. Your videos are always so lovely and beautiful. You really are talented and wonderful. I wish you a wonderful holiday season and best wishes in the new year.

[@hilaryyoung1485]

Serendipity is one of my favorite movies at Christmas time.

[@steffi.lestrange]

I am German, and I love it, when you said "Gluhwein" ☺

[@darcyzarnowski6383]

Extra thin ribbon candy is the epitome of Christmas for me because my maternal grandma always had this for the holidays. Makes me think of love! 💕

[@sarinawilburn1811]

I just discovered your channel today. I LOVE everything about it. I have a Christmas movie recommendation for you. The Spirit of Christmas. it's one of my favorites!!! watched this Christmas preparation video today while we decorated for autumn. love your old fashioned style and the images you presented made me very emotional. thank you!!!

[@olgabelyayeva5581]

Thank you for mentioning Silver Skates, it's such a beautiful film, I've always wanted to show it to my foreign friends, now I know that I can tell them that it's available on Netflix. Thank you🎄❤️

[@lydiatheblondie6554]

I know this was from like two years ago, but I just found your channel through this particular video & I just watched Silver Skates and meant to come back to comment a huge thank you! That movie was right up my alley and I could go on about it for days and days. It’s the perfect winter film, suspenseful, romantic, and full of action. Even though the romance was beautiful, I got to say, the bromance between the bandits/gang was phenomenal! I just adore their immediate friendship and closeness and love how they all stuck together. I wish I had something that epic tbh. But yes, thank you for introducing me to the movie along with your channel. You’re a sweet heart and I can’t wait to watch more of your content :)

[@cathieholliday7421]

Another great one is called Serendipity. It’s one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing your movie list. 🎄

[@luffans]

I never would have thought to decorate the tree with baby's breath! It's so delicate and whimsical! Watching this is like flipping through a home magazine full of beautiful decor.

[@ednatovar2574]

Completely agree with silver skates ITS A MASTEPIECE 😭

[@theoriginalmilji]

Your excited twirl for your linen dress totally gave me Anne of Green Gables vibes when she got her puffed sleeves dress.😂😂😂

[@nodecaf8707]

Thank you for recommending Silver Skates! I'd never heard of it, but it looks like everything I'm craving this time of the year. I can't wait to watch it!

[@sandytowry15]

The Ribbon candy is very nostalgic of my childhood. My mother always had a glass chicken candy dish that she'd fill with it at Christmas time

[@awsome182]

Hey, I'm from Germany. Niederegger Marzipan is the best Marzipan you can buy 😊 it's delicious and high quality. You can often feel the sugar in cheap Marzipan while eating, but not with Niederegger. I hope you enjoyed all the German treats and sweets 😊

[@awsome182]

As a beautiful christmas/winter movie, I can totally recommend "One Special Night" from 1999 with James Garner and Juliette Andrews. A beautiful movie about loss, but also finding a new love and living a second spring - in winter. One of my favorite Christmas movies, I love watching it with my mother.

[@mari9449]

I don't even know what to say anymore...I love you desi♥️ thank you for making me feel excited about life with every of your videos♥️ they bring me so much joy and in this period I really needed it!!! Wish you happy holidayss

[@eleanorjones8613]

I can’t tell you home much I love the holiday! For me, Iris and Miles are the superior couple of the two! Your content brings me so much joy and fills me with happiness. I appreciate your content that relates to Europe, particularly Germany! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas, please be as kind to yourself as you clearly are to others! Fröhliche Weilnachten!

[@adventurousavocados6394]

I just got the perfect gift idea for my mother in law from this video!! The book "A Royal Christmas".. omg!!! Her favourite holiday and time of year is Christmas and she loves the British Royal family! I can't wait to gift this to her, she will be soooo soo happy! Thank you!

[@Airbear211]

YES!! Those Kinder Country bars just unlocked a core memory. Those and the Milch-Schnitte were my lifeeee when I lived in Germany as a kid. 👌

[@AngelLeosAdorkableUniverse]

I've watched a lot of your fall videos and now that I'm in the Christmasy mood I thought I'd finally check out your older Christmas ones. Such a beautiful and peaceful video. I can't say enough times how much joy it brings me to see someone who unashamedly enjoys and romanticizes life! It's really inspiring for me. Also I love how excited you got about your new dress!❤😊

My 12 year old daughter picked those books recently at Barnes and nobles. She is on track to read a book a day this month. The read a 400 page book yesterday. She amazes me.

[@kaylaharris1522]

Baby’s breath on the Christmas tree- love it 🥰!! The holiday and white Christmas is some of my tops each Christmas. The holiday calendar is super cute too!! 🥰 🌲 love anything woodland and cottage vibes! You bring it every video!! It makes my heart happy!! I get super excited when your videos post!! Thank you for being soo whimsical and awesome!! Happy Holidays!! 🥰🤩🌲

[@soggycardboard1393]

While you were sleeping is one of my most favourite Sandra Bullock films! Even though the Christmas period is now over, I still feel Christmassy...I'm not ready for spring yet!

[@krissiniwini9985]

The whole video is so cozy and give me the Christmas spirit. Thank you a lot.

[@gisaderosa1797]

Hello! I'm italian and i want to say to you that your pronunciation is very very good! You're so kind and I and i am really enjoying your videos with these cottagecore vibes!

[@staroliva6502]

Love,love Silver Skates one of my favourite for the Holidays.... Love your Christmas tree.... Funny Iam a cup/ mug lover too....Your apartment looks very festive🎄 Love all your books recommendations for holidays/ ❄️ winter.. Great video Desi you are adorable.Wish you a very safe and healthy Christmas 🎄. Please more videos and often for 2022. Just love you.

[@DarlingDesi]

Thank you so much!! I also want to start posting videos more often, hopefully my mental health will improve more so I can focus more on filming and editing 🙏🏻

[@dazzlemanuel1954]

Even when I haven’t been feeling the festive season lately, at least it gives me joy every day for my favorite KZbinr to upload the right mixture of festive, hallmark, holiday, and Christmas :D

[@ThroughTheFire77]

Old fashioned Christmas is a good movie. They also have a old fashioned thanksgiving which i recommend watching first cause it goes with the christmas one

[@michca2112]

I was today year's old when I learned that the author of the Count of Monte Cristo (best novel ever!) was also the author of The Nutcracker. Amazing video!❤

[@jl5749]

I grew up near the town where they filmed the holiday and trust me, it's absolutely magical in winter!

[@eveschwarz467]

I got a lot of christmas feelings from watching your video. Thank you very much. The Nutcracker is one of my favorite stories, just that I thought it was written by the german author E.T.A. Hoffmann.

[@barbarafrings9231]

It was written by E.T.A. Hoffmann (Nussknacker & Mäusekönig), but Alexandre Dumas also wrote a version of the story. Tschaikowsky used Dumas' version to compose the beautiful music for the ballett "The Nutcracker". 🩰

[@Scheerjasmin]

My husband an I watch the holiday every December since 13 years! 😍

[@starryjune4089]

I would totally recommend "Tessa and Weston: The Best Christmas Ever" by Abbie Emmons! It's a follow up to 100 Days of Sunlight, but I don't think it's too necessary to read the first (though I'd also recommend it!) it's so wholesome. I think you would like it!

[@AtlanticRaven]

Yes! I LOVE Abbie Emmons!

[@kayleebooks1860]

Ohhh soo happy to see more people who love Abbie!!!

[@pattywood586]

I got my snack of hot cocoa with marshmallows, candy cane and gingerbread men cookies on the side SPECIFICALLY for this moment in time with you Desi! I'm so excited to cozy in and watch this labor of love. Happy winter!!

[@KMort]

I swear I look forward to your videos like mini movies. Like I'm tuning in for a cosy tv series. No snow where I am but it could still happen.

[@emmaberger3748]

I recently put on “Merry Liddle Christmas Baby” on a whim and it was one of the most pure, stuffed full of genuine love movies I’ve ever seen, so I have to recommend this one

[@jessicajames8185]

Desi I am having such a rough time and this just made my day. Thank you for always putting so much effort into your videos. xx

[@akdupay1]

Can I just move next door & visit everyday?! For real though - you nailed every element of this video! So much inspiration! Cozy, lovely & nostalgic! Love love love!

[@withgrace712]

These videos warm the soul.

[@VintageBethany]

I need to say it, you are the QUEEN of b-roll. Beautiful footage of all the tiny things makes a huge difference in quality for me ♥️

[@celinewilliams335]

Yessss I’ve been waiting in anticipation! You are the queen of winter content 😍 Merry Christmas Desi!

[@DarlingDesi]

Celine!!! ♥️♥️♥️ Thanks friend!! I hope you enjoy it! 😊

[@elisegdb7553]

This year, I have to spend Christmas alone because my parents have covid, and it's really tough. I prepare myself to enjoying the vibe despite everything, and your video help me a lot ! So thank you Daisy, trully, because I actually fight to not sink into despare and you manage to make me stand on the boat. Tank you again, and Merry Christmas ^^ Instead of "All by myself", I will sing "Let it snow" with a bit of joy thanks to you haha X'D

[@veronicam.hernandez5351]

On the Hallmark Channel my favorite movies are The Card, Christmas Bride, Christmas Magic, A Crown for Christmas, A Princess for Christmas, A Very Merry Mix Up, Matchmaker Santa, A Timeless Christmas, Christmas at the Plaza, and The ChristmasTrain. Netflix or Lifetime had The Spirit of Christmas.

[@annes.3202]

ohh desi, this video is pure pleasure, it really made me feel festive and cozy vibes! thank you also for mentioning silver skates, i'm russian and watched it a year ago, when it came out in my country. it's truly beyond words, and i'm going to rewatch it this year. also, i would really recommend three nuts for cinderella! it's a wonderful movie, traditional for christmas in our country, and i'm pretty sure it is already translated to english. it's very beautiful, atmospheric, and really worthy of watching. btw, merry christmas💌

[@sandradebrito3855]

The vibes were immaculate. Thank you for this

[@daniellerzepka8998]

While You Were Sleeping is my absolute favorite movie! I always watch it at Christmastime. I loved all the movie recommendations and all the cozy, holiday vibes of this vlog! 🎄

[@JenniferJones-hw9wu]

Desi, you need to watch A Gift Wrapped Christmas. My sister and I watch it together each year. So quirky and Hallmark. Love it!!!

[@milliemertens6693]

almost 40 mins of comfort and magic ahhhhh💌

[@Deerfoxinthewoods]

You're winter videos are like a warm blanket to the soul ʚ♡ɞ

[@iSaiiri]

I could also smell through the screen while you were making those cookies. So yum!

[@emmaberger3748]

Thank u to the queen of aesthetics for always getting me in the mood for whatever season it is 🥰

[@hannahr1304]

I love how you decorated the tree! It’s so whimsical!

[@sonjapasche6747]

Hey Desi, I love that you take your time to enjoy reading classics. Buuut I'd like to mention that the original version of the nutcracker was written by E.T.A. Hoffmann. Dumas had just adapted the story into his own french version. Hoffmann's style is a little bit spooky in the way german fairytales are. Have fun!

[@elizabethstahl9588]

Desi, I have to comment to say that I like that you turn your books around! Ever since I started watching your videos, you have inspired me to do it to some of my books. 📚

[@DC-cd5tv]

When I am reincarnated I want to come back as you. So JOYFUL and loving life. You are so pretty, so creative and a breath of fresh air. Can't wait to see this year's Christmas videos from you.

[@maddieinbloom4650]

This was magical and cozy and festive and PERFECT. I'm finally feeling the spirit of the season. Thank you so much, Desi. ❤️

[@rosiemc85]

Merry Christmas Desi! Thank you for always bringing so much beauty into your videos and helping us see the beauty in the world around us.

[@gingersal8052]

Beautiful vid, the ending made me shiver! Thank you for the calming and cheery vibes!

[@mikalal1290]

I can't express how happy and festive this makes me feel - though I live in a place where it's summer during Christmas, and because of that our image of Christmas is a little bit different, these cozy vibes make me feel like I've escaped to another world. And Desi - your videos are literally like watching a movie. I love when the music swells, I love the aesthetic, and I appreciate every second you have put into making this video

[@liadanducky]

OMG baby’s breath in the tree?!! How perfect!

[@CherieMooreBookFox02]

All the editing was worth it sis, this video is AMAZING!!! 🤩🥳 you are like my KZbin inspiration 🥰❤️

[@DarlingDesi]

😭 THANKS SIS 😭

[@MyDearHastings]

Yes! The editing is definitely worth it. I like this kind of video much better than vlogs. This is beautiful and gives inspiration.

[@strawb3rrydoll]

all of your videos have such a cozy vibe, the visuals & colours are so nice to look at

[@mentinfusion]

This vide is so calming, I don't really tend to rewatch youtube videos in general, but I love going back to your older videos and just let myself be wrapped in the calmness that they offer, your voice is so gentle and lovely to listen to. Hope you have a wonderful festive season!

[@anavargas]

I love that you decorated for winter too. Such a happy, cozy video. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you! Happy New Year 🎉

[@lora8102]

Thank you for another lovely video! Your videos are my go-to to unwind and get cozy. Happy Holidays, Desi.

[@vsn5474]
