I would say in the USA it's this weekend Thanksgiving at the earliest.

[@JuanPublo2023]

So beautiful! Thank you Russell for a chance to see this 👍🏻

[@TravellingwithRussell]

My pleasure!

[@GregoryBamber]

Spending Christmas in Russia is absolutely wonderful !!!!!

[@TravellingwithRussell]

For sure, the cold weather, the snow falling.

[@bittertruth3295]

Thank you Russell for this video, letting people see how beautiful Russian Federation looks like, I would love to visit someday ❤

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Your welcome. It's a beautiful time of the year. I am going to be back for the Christmas Markets once they fully open.

[@HelenaVanCity]

As a Russian, I totally encourage you to visit, explore, and enjoy my country. Welcome to Russia!!

[@AM-sd7jt]

Indeed!

[@pronavidad]

What an amazing choice everywhere, thanks for a beautiful video!

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Thanks for watching! There was a lot of stuff already in the stores. I was surprised to see so much in the hardware store.

[@kiyoshitakeda452]

Very glad to see the Christmas season in Russia. Shelves well stocked and variety of choices. Love it. Haven't visited Russian yet, but plan to very soon. Would enjoy it. Thank you for the video.

[@radio1933]

Thank you Russell lovely to see the Christmas displays. Loved Gum reminds me of Bellagio at Las Vegas! A very magical time for the children.

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Right, GUM and also the Children's Shopping mall close by. Very whimsical for sure.

I've been living in Moscow all my life. I'm 31 years old and nevertheless It's very interesting for me to watch your stunning videos. Thank u so much Russel

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Thank you so much. It's a pleasure to make these types of videos and visit place I know so well from all the years I've lived here. Which to you and I are normal local places. But to put them on social media and show them to the world, i really does open the world up just that little bit more.

[@briankiefer856]

Russell, thank you for the Christmas tour through Globus. Great video…

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Your more than welcome. Thanks for watching .))

[@aizhongwen]

Thanks for sharing the beautiful colourful Christmas decorations, a pleasure for our eyes. Wish you a happy healthy blessed Christmas season. 😊💕🌷

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Thank you so much. More videos like this to come, so stay tuned. ))

О предновогодние выпуски очень атмосферные. Люблю такое.

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Я жду, когда вернусь в город, когда на улицах включат больше света. Нам также нужно, чтобы выпало немного больше снега.

[@andreanagy4801]

Love Christmas.❤

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Me too. It's such a polar opposite from Australia weather wise here in Russia. Snow and Cold weather really does mean its Christmas.

[@MarinoPro-w9m]

Hi Russell, I like watching you😍

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Hello 😊 Wow, Thank you.

[@spmj1251]

Russia is an exquisite country. I admire mainly the architecture. Amazed by the hundreds of shopping centers. I hate to fly but someday i want to visit❤

[@TravellingwithRussell]

You can break up the tip into segments and do a layover somewhere.

[@HelenaVanCity]

Absolutely do! We in Russia welcome all good people! Apart from architecture, we have STUNNING nature in the Urals, Siberia, and the Far East. That's just for starters :)))

[@cherylh8924]

WOW, I could live in that store over Christmas, so pretty. Thank you.

[@andreanagy4801]

More of these please!

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Will do. I am just waiting for more snow.

Merry Christmas (Jan 7th or Dec 25th) and peace to all nations as the Russians say.

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Since I live here in Russia now, my wife and I celebrate both dates. Although really in January is the main holidays in Russia. Also on the 31st December as well, we all wait for the chimes on Red Square at 12am.

I love Russia from France ❤❤❤❤

Hello, mate! :))) I'm a Russian who's lived in the USA and Canada but never been to Australia. How's Russian Chrismas/New Year shopping diffent from Australian? Except that Christmas is actually your Aussie summer, right? :)) Thank you for the love and respect you have for Russia and our culture!

[@random2829]

Asan is a monster of a supermarket! I could already feel a fight with my wife over putting "unneeded" things into the buggy. 😆😆😆(She shops with a list and if it is not on the list you are probably not going to get it).

[@Sashounet24]

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Thanks!

[@AM-sd7jt]

So beautiful and kinda magical atmosphere. Moscow is a beautiful place to leave. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about Europe.

[@Medvejut]

New Year, bro. New Year, not Christmas.

[@TravellingwithRussell]

It's all relevant, depending on what you celebrate.

[@galeparker1067]

When I mentioned about wandering around a Mall on your channel..... My friend said to me " Oh, I didn't think "they" believed in Consumism over there.......... 🤔🤔🤔 Aw..... Life in North America..... 😟😟😟 (And I don't even like Malls.......) 🤣🤣🤣✌️🇨🇦

[@TravellingwithRussell]

People do go to malls here, people do shop and spend money. Not everyone is glued to Amazon shopping apps.

Christmas is going to be very expensive in Russia this year. Buy now before prices go up even more.

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Prices here won't go up because its the holidays.

[@PaulCuthbert-eg9ip]

Mmmm...hopefully but with the Central Bank suspending currency trading today, the confidence in the ruble is very low. Interest rates predicted to go up again to about 22%. That's HUGE!

[@HelenaVanCity]

What???? Why? You must be confusing us with Europe! LOL

[@micheleflanagan5052]

I'm just curious to know what the main holiday in January is? Thanks Russell for making these videos. I like to tour in all the stores with you.

Cant help but wonder if most of the decorations in Moscow are made in China.

[@Paco-i2n]

I am curious about the development of the prices now the ruble is crashing.

[@TravellingwithRussell]

How is it crashing, when i put foreign currency into Russia I get more Rubles. Simple.

[@Paco-i2n]

Ok, for you it is different since you are an Australian.

[@PaulCuthbert-eg9ip]

The Moscow Times this afternoon reports that the Russian Central Bank has suspended trading foreign currency in an attempt to slow the ruble crashing. It's trading at 113 to the US dollar. 😮

[@HelenaVanCity]

Oh, PLEASE! The ruble has been "crashing" forever, for as long as I live (and I am fifty-three) LOL If you wish ill on my country, keep on dreaming! If you're just concerned, chill. Russia is just FINE, thank you for your concern.

Seriously HOW can you call them "holiday decorations"? They are Christmas decorations.

[@TravellingwithRussell]

It all came about after I worked in America for way too many years, and the company I worked for made us only say certain words and saying for the larger audience we were working with.

[@Sergey_Bezhentsev]

Russell is right. Russia celebrates New Year's Eve more lavishly because of the Soviet tradition... And then, Christmas in Russia comes after the New Year on January 7...

Это называется Рождественское ралли. Каждый год перед НГ доллар ползет вверх, крупные компании торгующие в валюте закрывают долги перед бюджетом, потом через пару недель после НГ опять опускается. Можете проверить - это ежегодное явление.
