Why is Alfie talking to Ottie about "even though you're little you can do big things" making me SO emotional 🥺 what a nice moment

[@footy_vision]

I just can't get over how clever Ottie is. When she was stirring and immediately noticed that holding the bowl and stirring at the same was quite difficult and was like 'what about you hold the bowl' 😂

[@saumyagupta1719]

seeing Alfie wearing a pointless blog hoodie made me nostalgic Haha!

[@sophiacharalambous9107]

I love how Ottie is so aware! She was worried about the broken ball in the ball pit, and today with the elf spinning she wanted to turn it off🥹 She has such a big sister energy and you guys are doing an amazing job as parents, you should be so proud of yourselves❤

[@anniecoll23]

I loved Otties little moment of talking to us! 😂 she is the coolest kid!

[@jesschristie1358]

Alfie making sure ottie understood the song by saying she can do big things 😢 I need tissues I’m crying hahahaha

[@carolinestreeter975]

I love how you can have a conversation with Ottie she is so wise and switched on! Novie’s little face when she saw the elf! X

[@Ragdoll00]

The absolute privilege the girls are going to have to be able to watch back videos of their childhood is so amazing for them!!

[@tonijackson3421]

Ottlie has a beautiful vocabulary and personality, she’s going to be such a brilliant human being!! ❤

[@meghandarvel_]

I am so reminded today of how beautiful it is to be a mummy. Your patience and gentleness throughout baking and having little hands in the way is a joy to see. Don’t get me wrong, Im suree there were parts or moments today where frustrated mummy or tired mummy and daddy show but thank you for reminding people of how beautiful it is to be a mum and what a blessing it is!

[@cait3666]

You two baking together is actually adorable. It’s so healing

[@ShivaniPanse-k3e]

Hello Zoe and Alfie! This is Shivani from India. I have been watching your videos since I was 12 and i am 25 now. While watching your vlogmas day 18 vlog I saw you guys talking about the question of the day- which was what's one thing you thought you couldn't do but did. This question gave me the confidence to message you. The thought that I respect you and love you so much but you would never even know that I existed and that I am rooting for you almost killed me from inside. As a person who suffers from anxiety it is very difficult for me to gather the confidence and message somebody but your vlog gave me the confidence to do this. All i want to say is that you are an amazing person and an even beautiful soul. You are an inspiration to me zoe i aspire to be like you one day. I have been watching your videos and vlogmas for a decade now and it almost melts my heart and makes me want to cry when I see you and Alfie with the kids. What a Lovely family you have. I love and adore your relationship with alfie's family and with Joe. God bless you guys. Your insights on anxiety have always helped me and comforted me in my low times. Please keep on doing the amazing work you do. I will always be rooting for you. Love you so much zoe!! Thank you for everything. May you get all the happiness that you truly deserve.

[@Zoe-Rox]

I cant believe how grown up Ottie is for her age, she's adorable. I don't want these vlogs to end, please carry on :) xx

[@eviexx4945]

Thank you and Alfie so so much for doing vlogmas this year! I can’t believe it’s almost over. We all loved every second of it, thank you 🎄💛

[@FarheenXahan]

Is it me or Ottie looks more grown up as the vlogmas coming to an end? ❣️❣️❣️

[@tonijackson3421]

I watched Zoella when she was getting her grinch makeup done by Joe and she lived with her mom… And now she’s a wonderful mommy 😅❤

[@aaliyahpatel2819]

** QUESTION FOR TOMORROW'S VLOG** : What is a pivotal moment in your life that significantly shaped who you are today, and how did it influence your perspective on life? or a more lighthearted one :): If you could create a new holiday, what would it celebrate and how would people observe it?

[@emiliepearson7983]

so sad about vlogmas ending :(( , hope you all have a lovely christmas and thank you for making me and many others happy and comforted this Christmas ❤️

[@Scrumbuls]

Same! Been so much fun this year!

[@Jenzzyuk]

I love Novie's Face when she saw the Elf Spinning

[@AmandaSpain-t7m]

Love how Ottie looks at you with a cheeky side look saying “ I want to eat it” when trying golden syrup 😂

[@Caroline-bx4pi]

I’ve been watching you both for over 10 years now and am now a teacher! What are you most excited for about Ottie going to school? Also from a teacher perspective you have prepared her so much for elements of starting school! Be very proud! Love you both!

[@PenguinSicle]

Its insane that Christmas is just a few days away! Super excited to celebrate with my 6 month old baby. I just know that next year will be even more magical! I hope that you guys have loads of fun as well.

[@HoneydewSky]

I can’t wait to go to Blob in about 20 years!

[@ciaragray8590]

This is definitely my favourite one you’ve done with Belfie 😂

[@abigailpriceharrison6396]

I think Zoe and Ottie baking is my favourite thing ever ❤

[@emilyjohns9614]

Ottie looks so grown up when she’s baking with you! Merry Christmas Eve Eve 🤍

[@saumyagupta1719]

Ottie is so smart, it blows my mind

[@aparajitaprabhu]

That elf is so cheeky! Making his own ride at Blackgang chime! 😍😍😂

[@PortiaaRosee]

Currently 6am where I live and my baby decided to wake up at 5:30am, been patiently waiting for this vlog! Morning well spent🤩

[@aracelifernandez2305]

Favorite time of the day!! I’m trying not to be incredibly sad it’s almost over 🥲 vlogmas is my favorite Christmas tradition 🥰🥹

[@meganburgess6404]

i can’t believe how fast this vlogmas has gone !! i’m going to miss it so so much 😢🫶🏼 i love you guys and everything you express into the world ❤️

[@TheCyclistAudiobook]

I'm usually a silent watcher, but I wanted to ask a couple of questions today. 1. If you could swap places with ANYONE in the world for one day and experience their life who would you want to switch to? 2. If you could go back to being any age again in your lifetime, which age would you choose, and why?

[@fragilefleur]

The elf fixed your clock!

[@bethany-anne]

I just want to say a huge thank you for Vlogmas this year! We have just had our baby, who coincidently is born on 6th and so shares a birthday with Novie. Being first time parents, these sleepless nights / early starts have been a shock to the system but I’ve been saving these vlogs for when I’m up at 5/6am with baby. They’ve been keeping me sane, so thank you so much you guys (and Joe) for vlogmas, it’s been my friend whilst I’m up and it’s dark and quiet outside!

[@RhubieMorin]

40:06 I lost the last ever Christmas present I got from my Nanny before she passed away. It was a ring with a love heart on it. I wore it so much and have always felt so sad that you lost it. I do believe though it’ll pop up somewhere when I’m not looking for it.

[@user-Elena94]

I watch a lot of people on YT but nobody does vlogmas like Zoe. She is the queen of Vlogmas!

[@aylaaaa96]

The baking segments with Ottie are just my absolute faveeeee

[@karafedeau]

i got my photo memories for the 23rd of december on my phone today and i've documented myself wrapping the christmas presents while watching vlogmas for at least 7 years! i've been watching you for way longer than that and all throughout my 20s! and im now in my 30s (very early 30s still lol) i swear i got emotional when i realized i spent nearly every christmas eve eve with you ever since i've started buying presents myself, and you've literally been sort of a christmas tradition of mine for years! i love the vlogs so much! thank you for still making them!! ♥️

[@vanessahall9247]

What an absolute delight Ottie is, she is the most precious little girl. You are both doing an amazing job raising her and Novie.

[@rimiddel]

Love the baking you do together, memories to last a lifetime ❤ you and Alfie just such a stunning couple

[@somersetflower]

Can't wait till you got 2 of them rolling dough at the same time 😂😂😂!!! Such a joyful time with Ottie . Thanks Zoe From 👵 x

[@wiebki]

I would totally go to a bakery makery called blob. That sounds amazing!

[@Holly.mac1]

Alfie in his pointless blog jumper talking to his 3 year old daughter is a full circle moment 🥹 I feel so lucky to have been along for this whole journey!

[@_SarahHolly]

As we near the end of vlogmas, I just want to say how special it has been watching you parent and live life with your girls. My husband and I are talking about starting a family and I have a lot of fears about what that new family dynamic could look like, but seeing how much you both genuinely enjoy time with your girls and how much love you all have for each other has brought me a lot of hope and happy anticipation! Sort of like how you mentioned a few vlogs back, it genuinely feels like a pivot month for me in being ready to make a major life change! Thanks for being a part of it♥️

[@glitteryreen3908]

zoe your vlogs are always therapy to me so thank you so much for all the positive and cozy vibes you bring with them

[@susannemadonna]

Thank you so much for all the hard work and great content you have given us this vlogmas!❤️ it’s so sad when it’ll be over, but I’m happy you will have a well deserved break🥰 Merry Christmas from Norway🎄

[@delaneycalifornia]

I can’t believe how quickly this has gone by 😢 I just love your family so much and these videos really make my Christmas season feel so festive. I really hope that one day I can have my own family and traditions that feel safe and happy for me ❤

[@andreacue5771]

Hello Zoe, Alfie, and family! Hope you all have a merry Christmas! Sending love from Australia! It has only just occurred to me that I have quite literally been watching your videos for the majority of my life. I started tuning in around the age of 7, and I turn 22 in March (Aries baby). Thank you for all the beautiful memories you have shared over the years. Recently my partner has started watching the vlogs with me (Couldn't be happier). Sending our love and support always, have a wonderful new years!

[@izzyjones2572]

This vlogmas has got me through night feeds with my 4 week old daughter! Thank you both so much for all the effort you’ve put in these videos ❤❤

[@FlorenceFilmsMedia]

Happy Christmas Eve Eve!! ❤

[@Libertymaeedwards]

It’s not Christmas Eve until tomorrow but it’s the day before it will be Christmas Eve Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎅🏻☃️⛄️❄️🎄

[@brihannonstrathern8801]

Ottie telling us that we can't tell anyone way presents we've got them is SOOO cute 😂

[@sallylandillustration]

Ottie's Bakery Makery sounds so fun. I wanna go there! and BLOB is a perfect name for Ottie's bakery - Brilliant Little Ottie's Bakery! Love watching your Vlogmas series every year, it’s become a Christmas tradition for me and my partner - breakfast with Zoe in the morning and Joe's Vlogmas at dinner! I can’t believe it's almost over again! I’ve been following since you were showing us the random things in your bedroom and Joe was on the roof thatching! Time has flown. You and Alfie are such amazing parents, it's been so special to see your journey. Thanks for sharing your memories with us. Big love and Happy Christmas from Australia! xx

[@SuperBeth1001]

When Ottie says “I want to eat it” she is the spit of Zoe!

[@chloefourmy9809]

i started watching when i was 6 with my older sisters in 2012, now 18 and ive watched every video- u gave me my love for sims 4 and my love for writing and creating, now applying to unis with dreams of being an author xx

[@lizzlocke3130]

I love watching the baking, and the chatting at the end are my favorite parts!

[@Tarine_dvSchalkwyk]

So excited to watch! Also the elf made me laugh so much!✨

[@jaidez3170]

Vlogmas has been such a light for me this month. I work 12-16 hrs days 5 days a week so being able to watch this (even in parts throughout the day) has been SO uplifting. It's hard to find the Christmas joy when all you see if the 4 walls of your job. Even if you never read this thank you so much Zoe, Alfie, Ottie, Novie, Nala, Mark, Joe, Tracy and everyone in your beautiful family. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas day. ❤❤❤jailene

[@demistarr35]

Hi Zoe and Alfie Thank you for doing vlogmas this year I’m so sad it’s ending soon x

[@SamDamn89]

Novie Saying WOWWWW 🥹🫶🏼😘🖤 can I just say watching you and Ottie bake together makes me wanna cry. 🥹 It is the sweetest thing and something I wish I would’ve done with my mom when I was little, Zoe you are so patient with her & Ottie’s vocabulary is so vast!!! She’s so aware & so smart!

[@seolarscy]

I've never been this early to a video ever haha 😆 Thank you so much for all the great Christmas content!

[@missblabbermouth13]

You are both such great parents!! Thank you both for being a safe space for your girls to be themselves. It's so healing and awesome to see! Merry Christmas and thank you for another incredible vlogmas! Love yall♡♡♡

[@-ThatGuyRobin-]

When you rub the dough together with just your fingers - growing up (and still to this day) my mum would say you have to tickle it. I love it and I think it’s so sweet. Really enjoy watching yours and Ottie’s baking content 🥹

[@andreacue5771]

Hello Zoe, Alfie, and family! Wishing you all a Merry Christmas from Australia! It's only just occurred to me that I have quite literally been watching your videos for the majority of my life (I started when I was 7 and I'm turning 22 in March!). Thank you for sharing so many amazing memories over the years

[@Tarine_dvSchalkwyk]

This is such perfect timing, as i was about to start making my pavlova base! So now i can watch this while doing that✨🙌🏻

[@sarahnades]

I just started baking when I saw this had posted, so I was baking Christmas cookies watching Zoe and Ottie baking Christmas cookies, as well!

[@hollieglavey6398]

Golden syrup and a salty butter on toast was my after school snack every single day, 10/10

[@Daisy_Allen_1]

I just never want this to end! It is so exciting after a long and hard day, I am now not sure what I am going to do with my evenings🎄📷

[@emmersondoody4155]

The clock working is a real Christmas miracle 😂

[@Amystephensxx]

Ottie is so sweet, and she’s so like Alfie with her cheeky personality!

[@laura-maearmes5090]

The best underrated christmas film-- The Greatest Store in the World

[@EbonyBacon]

I have been a viewer of you both for many years. I don’t believe I’ve ever left a comment on any social platform before, and I mean anything! However today I really wanted to take a moment to tell you both how truly inspiring I think you are, even if you don’t see this. I have spent the past week/ end not really doing much, staying home (which i acknowledge is very important sometimes) but just overall feeling quite de motivated and tired. I spent my Sunday catching up on Vlogmas (…perfect way to spend a Sunday if you ask me), I was in bed watching the Tulleys Christmas lights festival vlog, you guys inspired me to very spontaneously go that very evening with my boyfriend, despite the hour 1/2 drive. With some persuasion on my part we went and had the best time and I’m so glad i got out of the house and did something festive before Christmas. It was really lovely. Even if it was a small thing, you inspired me to pick myself up and make myself feel better, this has happened on more than one occasion, whether it be big or small. I guess I just want to remind you how impactful these vlogs are and how truly generous you have been in sharing parts of your life with us, you guys deserve all the success and happiness in the world. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and new year, filled with so much love and beautiful memories😊 Best wishes, Ebony from Hampshire (watching since I was 10, now 21) x

[@ShayleneGibbons]

How has Ottie managed to grow up so much over vlogmas? I feel like she’s a year older than when you started 🥲✨

[@sophiapede681]

I have the flu right now and watching these vlogs everyday have helped me so so much. Thank you both ❤️

[@naylakirana]

Enjoyed every bit of Vlogmas this year! (always) and Ottie is hilarioussss 😂❤

[@MarlyLynn]

I can’t even begin to understand how this month has flown by! 😭

[@juliewalton5333]

I am going to miss you all every day! Hope you & your loved ones have a magical Christmas 💝🕊

[@SarahMuir3]

Ottie is so brilliant! And I love her messy bun with the cardigan, so cute !!

[@britbooth]

Ottie was soooo funny in this video 😂 she’s just adorable! What a precious girl.

[@hiitsrea]

Alfie that sweater!! Gave me the biggest nostalgia lol also not really a question of the day but I’ve always wondered how often you guys get recognized and how those interactions usually go? I live in America and want to visit the UK and Brighton specifically and I’ve always wondered what it would be like if I ran into you guys lol merry Christmas Eve Eve!

[@ashleyrevak]

I can't believe tomorrow is the last day of Vlogmas already !!- i feel as tho it just started! Thank you for all the amazing content ! I've been watching you since you lived at your dad's house and you did a play mobile advent calendar ! I can't believe it's been so long ! To see you now as a mum is so amazing you've always been such a great influence to us all! It feels like I have a best friend that lives in my tv 😅🤣💀 you and Allie make a great team ❤️💚❤️🎄 merry Christmas Deyes / sugg family!

[@SophBywater]

Genius idea the Elf in the Kitchen Aid 😂🙌🏻😜🫶🏻 Ottie looked so much like Joe when she told you to turn him off 🤣 I Just can’t get enough of you all ♥️ You have defined what Christmas is all about and it fills my heart with so much Joy and Happiness 🎄 Thank you so much for getting me through the most difficult of times 🫶🏻 I hope you all have the most magical day sending all my love and light ⭐️ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@SophBywater]

Also…. Would love to see yourself and Ottie have your own baking channel for sure 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 So wholesome, she’s definitely your daughter 🩷🩷🩷 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@abilohrman8795]

The last few days you have been my “background noise” as I wrap presents❤

[@amyzadravec5305]

I am watching this whilst decorating gingerbread cookies which I made using the recipe you posted a video for 11 years ago. Every year I make them with that recipe for my mum because she says they are the best gingerbread she has ever had.

[@simplybev_]

Omg i literally choked when Alfie said "yeah, but you probably chewed it" speaking about the ditto pokemon card 😂😂😂

[@Megs2167]

My sister in law lost her purse a couple of years ago, and I jokingly blamed my little niece for WEEKS saying that she'd traded it for a toy or something at school, then one day I had to slam on the breaks in my car and her purse flew out from underneath the passenger seat into the footwell 😂 I had already checked my car millions of times so moral of the story, check under the front seats of your car thoroughly! 😄😄

[@KiraMcPhersonn]

I was in Matilda the Musical a couple of years ago as an adult covering the kids when they were off sick/injured. Such a special song and I can’t listen to it anymore without crying 😂

[@Sooomishi]

I can’t believe how much Ottie haa grown since Vlogust she’s such a big girl now 😭🥺

[@maryshansho3368]

Hi Zoe and Alfie. I am really impressed with your parenting skills ❤️ As an 25 year old can't wait to have kids and build memories with them. Watching you inspires me in many ways, it makes marriage seem not panicking but relaxing and chill haha. Happy holidays and can you share what your thoughts were in your late 20's about kids&family.

[@Abbeyyk]

Is it normal that I get giddy when I get the 12pm (est) notification that a new video is up?

[@susannemadonna]

omg the PB crewneck, good memories!!

[@Mrsknightful]

Anytime Alfie is near his girls he kisses them.❤ Coming from someone who didn't have that, it makes me cry.

[@kortnismith8602]

I love having vlogmas in my routine every day ❤️

[@zer0line405]

So excited to watch this! So sad it’s ending in a few days 😭

[@Finleyydanielle]

I never comment but Alfie talking about his necklace reminded me that when I was little my mum gave me one of her old rings, I wore it everyday but then I dropped it and couldn’t find it again, I was so sad. About 5 years later, my dad was selling his van and ripped out the seats, in the runners he found the ring. I’m 19 now and I’ve worn that ring everyday since I got it back.

[@nicolewang8941]

i’m so happy i’m early. zoe your vlogs just give me so much joy ❤️

[@marianatalia9612]

Vlogmas is like my own fancy advent calendar tbh

[@DakotaJadeite]

I moved across Canada last year and we set aside my favourite mugs (I love collecting mugs) and we left them by accident and they were never seen again. I was devastated. Some were handmade custom ones I still think about them 😢

[@PeachesandPardon]

I remember when i was younger I would get 'reindeer food' from school which was oats and glitter, sprinkling it in the garden was such a core memory

[@alinetheillustrator]

Ottie is such a sweet and empathetic child!I thought it was the cutest thing that she was worried about the elf.🥹🤏🏻 God bless these princesses❤❤ Zoe, I have a question, do the girls watch the vlogs? I can imagine them reviewing the mess that this elf is doing this Christmas 😂😂
