The Shaytards Christmas special is one of my favorite Christmas traditions each year!!

[@nicholascole3296]

It's one of my favorites, too! 😊

[@joeyjinx2118]

Mee too!! Id love to meet you guys

[@diannagaspard8899]

Same

[@reneekowalski-selsky4505]

Mine too, the trampoline park when they were younger or the cows was fun

[@puppiesinlove]

I agree

[@aftonpinote6038]

I can’t believe I’ve been watching y’all for 15 years, seeing everyone all grown makes me so emotional🥺

[@heynow3802]

Ikr! I remember when babytard was the baby! It makes me emotional too but it's awesome to see how they all turned out.

[@alexiec6302]

SO EXCITED when this popped up!! Thank you all for sharing your Christmas with us once again. One of my most cherished Christmas traditions. ❤

[@sydnismith9796]

I’ve been watching Shaytard vlogs since Gavin was in kindergarten. The ending gave me chills. A funny, giggling, dancing little boy has grown into a man. I’m now pregnant with my first child and I hope I’ll be as loving, strong, and kind as Colette. She’s handled motherhood so beautifully over the years. Such an inspiring woman to young moms ❤

[@Mlp476]

Collette is so incredible 💕

[@brianc6017]

I was just thinking I remember when Shay used to go on stickam in the radio station. Seems like yesterday

[@hollyadams2947]

I cry everytime Gavin sings, that man stole my heart ❤️ a loooonnngg time ago 😢 miss him! I can't imagine how his mama feels! Everyone looks fabulous, another Christmas Special to rewatch every year! Thank you Shaytards! Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

[@Ms.OliversLife]

Me too!!! He’s so sweet and pure. 😭😭😭

[@sarahloyd7276]

He will be home from his mission next year I think

[@SuperVids112]

Can someone explain what happened to Gavin I’ve been gone for a long time

[@Ms.OliversLife]

@@SuperVids112 He’s on a 2 year church mission in Mexico, I believe.

[@Maxfoo123]

I'm 18 now, and have been watching you guys since I was probably 6 or 7. Your Christmas specials have always been my favorite. I feel like I grew up along side all the kids, Especially Avia, Brailee and Emmi, because I'm closer in age with those three. I love your family. And Thank you for being a huge part of who am I am today. I feel like you guys helped raised me

[@leannematthews7365]

After basically growing up with this family, I cry almost every time there’s a moment with gavin. Every year I rewatch all of the Christmas specials and this one just feels different without him. We miss you gavin!!!

[@Elizabethhavill]

Where is he?

[@drdannydude123]

@@Elizabethhavillon his mission trip

[@Stephienicc]

It’s not Christmas without a Shaytards Christmas special! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

[@BamItsSam32700]

The family is all grown up 😭 I remember watching when I was Brock’s age. Also Gavin has an absolutely brilliant voice!

[@dandelion9375]

Sweet Gavin at the end singing got me so emotional!! He seems like he’s matured so much in such a short amount of time.

[@bestieswithtesties]

41:36 really got to me for some reason. I remember being a young kid watching shaycarl videos and Gavin making occasional cameos. Now he's all grown up and ugh so am I. Time flies. Funny enough I've befriended some Mormons over the past year and sure enough they're everything I would've imagined after years of watching you guys haha. Just so obnoxiously kind and down to earth and fun to be around. Anyway. Your videos have touched many lives. Thanks for still being around even if it's less and less. It's meant a lot.

[@yilba]

This brings back so many memories of the early Christmas vlogs. What a change, all the young’uns now grown…but still having fun with old traditions! Gavin looks like he’s matured years in his short time away already… the clip at the end brought a tear to my eye, you all must be so proud. Hopefully not long now until his return! Thank you for the vlog and much love as always from the UK ❤

[@rigidcrisis]

The amount of YAY I felt when I saw this pop up! ❤❤ Happy New Year, Shaytards!

[@beardkayla1]

The ending ❤ Gavin is so grown up! All the kids are. I love the Shaytards Christmas special!

[@ahmadalzahrani8219]

Every time I watch the Shaytards Christmas special, my heart fills up with so many emotions. This family was a bright spot in my life when I was really struggling. During my pediatric residency, when I was fighting anxiety and depression, their videos were sometimes the only thing that made me smile. I felt an even stronger bond with them when my first child was born 9 days before Daxton. Those Christmas specials became something precious, something I waited for all year. I'm deeply thankful for the joy they brought into my life. Now, seeing some of the kids already grown up and leaving home, it makes me feel sad. It's like a reminder of how quickly time passes and how important it is to hold onto every moment. Thank you, Shaytards, for all the joy and the smiles in the times I needed them most.

[@emilylouwhoo]

The pan to Louie with the rock in his mouth made me holler. Merry Christmas Butlers!!!!

[@nicolerene1244]

the amount of happiness this gave me. for over 10 years i have looked forward to you guys' vlogs and especially the Christmas specials. it still gives me the same warm happy feeling as it did when i was a kid. thank you guys for sharing your lives with us. thank you for being you. . 💗💗💗

[@kadenhansen]

We sang 6 songs during our service. It was great. I was sad when I realized I’d have to wait until after Christmas to watch this. Thanks for sharing your Christmas with us.

[@katiesteeves]

So excited!! I watch the Shaytards Christmas Specials every year!! The nostalgia I feel while watching these vlogs. Seeing this family together makes me so happy!! ❤ Merry Christmas/ Happy New Years!! 🎉

[@jose_t0.0t]

As a grown man who grew up with this family and waiting for their Christmas specials to drop to watch it to have that feeling of happiness and safety in a family, I literally almost cried when I seen this Notification of this video !

[@JordanClark-bk6xr]

The “hey I’m vlogging here” intro holds so many memories / nostalgia I can’t cope!!! I started watching in 2009/2010 I believe … crazy seeing how grown up the kids are etc. ugh just love you guys!!!

[@ohkay8860]

It’s insane to think that I’ve grown up with your family, seeing how much everyone has grown is so unreal.. been watching since I was 12/13 and I’m 24 now 🥹

[@katie-lynemorgan6934]

Same ! I’m 22 in a few days and I’ve watched since I was 9. It’s like we’re all part of their family 😂💕

[@rosahiguera231]

I love the amount of nostalgia I get when watching these Christmas specials because we all grew up together. Thank you for always letting us be part of such a special tradition I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!🥹❤️(Happy New Years Eve🎉)

[@Travellingwiththedays]

Colette must be so excited for next Christmas to have all her babies under one roof for the holidays. It feels like forever since he left, I bet she feels like it’s been an eternity.

[@Joana_v]

Thank you guys for making these year after year and bringing love into each of our houses and hearts. Your family will always hold a special place in my heart and I just hope someday I can be a bit more like you. Thank you ❤

[@mandystanhope]

I was so happy to see this uploaded. Merry Christmas Butler family. 🎄🎁 I can really feel the love between all of you. It was lovely to hear Gavin singing at the end. He sounded amazing as always and looks so healthy.

[@kyleelong1430]

I was SO excited when this popped up. I've been waiting for this since Christmas. I have been watching the Shaytards since I was 5 year old. This family has helped me in so many ways. We love all that you guys do!

[@user-ig9rw3wf1y]

Gavin looks great!! I can only imagine how special that video was for the family since he has been away! So happy to see this video. Thank you for sharing your family with us❤️

[@Clairebertram7]

Growing up watching all of you has always been so special, you guys are the cutest family and now being older recognizing the joy you all bring back to me ❤

[@BSchmelts]

This years Christmas special was extra emotional for me! I’ve been watching since the beginning & to see how grown all of the kids have become is insane! Thank you for throwing in Gav singing in the end & keeping him apart of the holiday tradition😭🩵

[@jsings9202]

Thank you for letting us be a part of your Christmas festivities! Coming from a smaller family, it was so cool to be able to experience your large family gathering! I love the Christmas games that you guys came up with. Christmas seems extra magical in your family! Wishing you all a happy new year ahead. ❤

[@delaneycole2646]

It’s so special to watch them grow up and the different traditions they make SHAYTARDS Christmas specials is the thing I look forward too

[@joshuamilbecka]

I've just spent the last couple of days rewatching all your old Christmas Specials. Thank you so much for continuing to share your lives with us , even when you don't have to. Thank you a million times over!

[@janicecline-proctor9123]

I love my Shaytards. And look forward to seeing the Christmas Spectacular every year. I'm 62 yrs old & have been watching since the very first Vlog. Your videos warm my heart and make me happy. God Bless You all.

[@Chardymc]

Cant believe I've been watching this incredible family do Christmas for 14 years. I'm 33 now and still love you guys 😊 (which i know is odd to say to strangers) 😂

[@brennanspark]

OMG yay! I almost thought it wasn’t going to happen. Thanks Shaytards for sharing your Christmas with us and editing the video.

[@jcduva9955]

Thank you Shaytards for yet another heartwarming Christmas Special. I was so happy when I got your notification. Gavin looks and sounds all grown up, all of your kids. Blessings to your beautiful family.

[@hudsynhiggs5749]

Gavin’s voice makes me so happy! I love how you include clips from his mission to help him still be a part of the vlogs! I love watching your Christmas specials and can’t believe how grown up everyone is. I’ve been watching for almost 13 years now and every year you never disappoint to bring yet another great Christmas Special!

[@azchrosette]

I love you guys! Merry Christmas ❤ Thank you for bringing so much joy to us - and awesome singing/playing, Gav! 😊

Christmas isn't the same without some Shaytards. I was so happy to see it pop up! Love you guys! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you all!

[@Huttonnn]

My reaction when i see the Shaytards Christmas special pop up in my youtube feed is ridiculous, the feeling is far better than my reaction for any other video in the year! Stay happy guys, may the new year bring you nothing but wellness!

[@crystalsaunders630]

Do appreciate keeping us in the loop all these Years ! Always look forward to the videos keep me happy in this world full of chaos ! It's also interesting how long I've been subscribed wayy before Daxton was born Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 to all of you

[@ceirecranmer6979]

My god, I’ve been on and off watching for years, since having 3 going on 4 of my own kids I haven’t had time. So checked in and hats off to you all, they’ve grown into such great kids! I can’t believe how time absolutely flies! Hope you all had a great Christmas! Sending love from the UK. May your 2024 be filled with joy, love and good health. ❤

Thank you guys for sharing another Christmas special with us. Its been wonderful seeing so many of your special family moments over the years. Wishing you all the best in 2024! ❤

A shaytards Christmas special with Gavin singing! What a beautiful voice. Merry Christmas and Happy New year guys!❤❤❤❤

[@kayleighb1923]

I’m 18 now, I have been watched you guys ever since I got my first phone. I have always loved watching your Christmas specials. Once in a while I always go back to watch older videos. I’m the same age as Avia so it’s been surreal watching her and the others grow up while I was. Thank you for all the lovely years of vlogs and happy new year xx❤️❤️

[@tommyz4455]

This is my 11th consecutive year watching! This year’s special felt very reminiscent to years prior. The amount of memories I personally have with a family I’ve never met in person is quite incomparable, from when you guys went to the gym on Christmas Eve to when you all sang karaoke, when Logan was on his mission and Shay read aloud Logan’s letter while grandmatard cried and when Shay got Gavin that huge helicopter, just to name a few, looking forward to many more memories that we all get to share together.💙💛

[@kirstenguaragno1063]

I grew up watching your channel. this year was an especially difficult one for me, but having this constant tradition of your Christmas special made the end of my year so much better. Gavin has an absolutely incredible voice. Kind of random but I'm the same age as him and graduated the same year, and I'm also an aspiring singer. its so incredible seeing people my age with my same interests experiencing life. i love your family so much. thank you for always being a beacon of light in a world that can be so scary for so many.

[@s80294s]

I can’t believe the change since the first Christmas special. Loved watching y’all grow up As do a lot of people, I feel like I grew up with y’all and it’s amazing to see how far y’all have come

[@breepinchbeck]

This video brought so many tears and nostalgia everyone has grown up so much the family has also grown so since 2012 when I started watching Merry Christmas Shaytards ❤ these videos is what makes it feel like Christmas for me

[@Cloughiie82]

I've not watched a christmas special in quite a few years, thought i'd come back and have a look, and WOW the kids have grown up so much! The girls are gorgeous (Colette's smile still out shines them all though) and the guys are getting so big! Shay, you had one hell of a come-back in life and you truly inspire me to follow a better path. I hope your family has good health and fortune going into 2024.

[@lovaticfan4eva2]

The Shaytards Christmas special never fails to put a smile on my face! I’m 24 and started watching when I was around 13 or 14, it’s crazy to see how much these kids have grown up. The ending with Gavin singing almost brought me to tears, I can’t believe how much all these kids have grown and it makes me realize how much I’ve grown as well. Happy Holidays and may the new year bring blessings to you all! P.S. Collette, I read Untamed for my Women’s Health class this past summer! Such an inspiring book and I love that you chose the cheetah as your Christmas ornament!

[@MyJourneyToBeSeizureFree]

Always so exciting when there’s a Shaytards Christmas special! 🥰❤️💚

Thank you for sharing these beautiful memories with us! I look forward to watching every year! Wishing you all blessings ❤️

[@labro1330]

Literally couldn't wait for the Nostalgia of the Shaytards Christmas special this year, it's crazy to see how much the family has grown, new babies, new partners. It not the same without Gavin. But this was definitley one for the books. It was crazy, loud and chaotic just how I like it. Happy New Year!!

[@emilymoon05]

Nothing better than a shaytards christmas special!!! Love you guys ❤

[@kndy6146]

The way I gasped seeing Gavin! Whaaat he’s grown!!! May Jesus be in the centre of ur lives ALWAYS as he’s all we need. This World is so temporary but a genuine relationship with God is eternal!

Yaaaah! I love the Christmas specials. Merry Christmas and a happy new year ❤❤

[@reeqovlogs9407]

I look forward to every Shaytards Christmas special. Crazy how much time flies by. I was just a kid when I first started watching you guys and you guys made every Christmas special by uploading a video every Christmas! Thank you guys for keeping the tradition going!

[@kevianastephenson2117]

watching this brings back so much memories and to see how watching your christmas specials years ago compared to today made me see how much your family has multiplied and your now celebrating with more brings me so much joy ❤ this really reopened the child in me !

I NEEDED THIS... there's so many trials slamming me right now, and I'm currently alone with my thoughts.. no bueno! I'm battling severe anxiety and I'm so thankful for this redirection of a Christmas vlog 💓

[@emilysal]

I started watching these vlogs in the background while I studied for my end-of-highschool exams…. I’m now 31 and watching this at 3am while I feed my newborn son… I couldn’t believe it when you said you’d been doing this for 17 years! From Sydney, Australia

[@xbcdx95]

The Shaytards Christmas Specials are always a favorite!! I grew up with a very small family with dreams of being in a big family like this, so I live vicariously through these specials. Thank you for continuing on doing them every year. Hope y’all had a wonderful Christmas🤍🤍

[@selcouthstunner9810]

I'm 20 and I've been watching you guys for 7-8 years now and I have never loved a family that I'm not related to as much as you guys. so glad to see you guys still make the Christmas specials

[@sydneyhorton5479]

YESSS this just made my night and the end to my year :) i love watching these, i rewatched all the old ones leading up to christmas and it made it so much better. I actually thought christmas eve if you guys were doing this haha :) wishing you all a happy new year!

[@nadithslife2295]

Did anyone else have a nostalgic moment when Collette said "are you ready" 😢 Merry Christmas Shaytards 🎅 🤍

[@mcimlovinit2196]

I watched this channel with my little brother when we were in middle school. We both have our own families now. It’s amazing to see how much you’ve all grown. I check in every year, usually for the nostalgic Christmas special. My heart will never forget the comfort my brother and I felt when watching this beautiful family.

[@nonstop9907]

Woah, this one of those rare youtube moments, like a flashback from years ago, since I used to watch some of your content, and all your young ones all grown up now, nice to see you all together anyway having a good time at Christmas, If it years since I come across a video again I just wish you all continued joy and good times for the future, all the best from England.

[@Robsreviews85]

Skimmed through it real quick glad y’all look happy. Happy New Year 🎊

Love you Avia!!! Thanks for your help today.

[@maximborn]

i used to watch you guys like 10 years ago (i’m gavin’s age i think) or even longer when you were living in LA and that’s when my family was falling apart and i used to watch you guys especially during the holidays because this channel was the closest thing i had to a family. this video just popped up on my timeline and it’s crazy to see all ur kids grown up and how everyone has just kept going and what i have done. i remember when u moved to idaho and it’s good to see you all in the same house and i wish the best for you all. this was probably all over the place but thank you for posting

[@Raisingwildminds]

Alright I gotta comment twice because I have genuinely been on a JOURNEY with y'all 😂 I started watching in my 20s with zero kids, and now I'm 35 with 4 kids! So I am not lying when I say I've been along for the ride!! Haha. This probably seems so random but one thing/memory that really stands out and touches my heart is remembering Carlie as a young single mama! She mentioned once on the Mom's View that she and Coop would just "go where ever we are welcomed" for Christmas because they just worked around what the other families planned. Now she's happily married and expecting baby # what, five?! The kids aren't the only ones in this family whom we have watched grow with pride! Thanks for bringing us along xo

[@Jailynn6]

Always look forward to the Christmas special!! Happy holidays and thank you for bringing us along 🥰❤

[@kaitlyn._684]

i was patiently not so patiently waiting for this, i look foward to this video EVERY year since you guys started, thank you❤️
