[@ewilliams4410]

Okay I'm actually fcking sobbing right now??? What must it be like to be and be surrounded by such angels of music and dance and art?? As a long-time SK fan I always feel so blessed to see these bts videos. The talent and family vibes just shine through. Break legs!!

[@cael_aj]

StarKid has made me realize that my ultimate dream job is to have what they have - a creative team that I love and trust to make art together that we're all really proud of.

[@MerediddyS]

Yay!! Thank you!!!

[@kandyappleview]

Yeah, i look at them and wonder what it must be like to have friends like that

[@yee-raplantar-maximoff4318]

"Sorry I was just zooming in on our dog taking a piss" I love Brian lol

[@easay1989]

And Meredith’s response just being “oh, cool”. I love them

[@MerediddyS]

It's always a risk handing the camera over to him... 😜

[@quirrelmorts]

the sobbing is very relatable and the music is very beautiful

[@MerediddyS]

Too beautiful

[@variationeighteen]

ugh it's so cool that this show can just keep on growing as years go by i love this for y'all

Thanks for posting Meredith! I wasn't feeling very christmassy until watching this. VHSCC always puts me in the spirit. I've never seen starkid live, but this is the show I want to see most! Break a leg everyone!

Luna's an honorary Starkid! So much fun watching the rehearsal process! Also found myself singing along when Clark was teaching the harmonies/notes near the end. Reminds me of learning songs back in high school and college. ❤

[@MerediddyS]

Yay!! Yeah Luna is hoping to play Scrooge next year...

[@jennschalle2825]

@MerediddyS Her performance would be priceless 😀

[@outofthelabyrinth]

i do just have to say how much i appreciate seeing some of yall still wearing masks during rehearsals and stuff- makes my high risk/disabled self+heart very happy to see

[@MerediddyS]

Yeah we had some bugs going around!! Those masks really saved our show!

[@erikaorsomething7721]

AJ is going to kill it as Scrooge, and match girl feels like it's going to be a tearjerker. You should sell tissues as merch 😢

This vlog felt so comfortable. Like visiting a favorite aunts house who lives out of state, and there’s just all your cousins and everyone’s chill as people make food, play board games, and a vinyl is playing in the background. Man I want to visit family. Thank you for sharing Meredith!

[@FromtheDepthsofMel]

Beyond stoked to see this live on Saturday! This has been a long time coming! (Since AVPS-- but life happened) AAAAHHHH!

[@FromtheDepthsofMel]

Update: I cried. Before watching it because I was so happy to be there. During, because it was emotional and well done. (And Curt's little blooper had me crying from laughter) Again after when it was almost done. And then when talking to the great fans on the way out and to our hotel(which a lot of us seem to be staying at the same one, which is fun!)

[@MerediddyS]

Yay! Did you have fun??

[@FromtheDepthsofMel]

@MerediddyS So much fun! The show was phenomenal and it was fantastic getting to meet and hang out with other fans before, after, and at our hotel. I don't think I've ever connected with anyone as much as I did with them. This introvert was excitedly (and confidently) talking to people... and teaching them the Christmas Electricity choreography. That is almost unheard of.

[@Skyraider119]

Love seeing The Great British Bake Off/Show in the background!! Also was there new music in this as i don't remember them being in the VHs Christmas Carol posted on the main Starkid channel?
