Five of the Best: Vlogmas 2016

Have yourself a merry little… Vlogmas!

It’s been a busy month for all of our YouTube friends! Shopping, decorating, wrapping and having the most wonderful parties – and we’ve loved coming along for their festive adventures! Is there a better time than Christmas Day to finish up a sparkly Vlogmas marathon? We think not!

Between your third plate of mashed potatoes, trying to figure out what you’re going to do with that tiny deck of cards you found in your Christmas cracker, and falling asleep surrounded by cookies, we highly recommend putting on this magical playlist.

We hope you’re curled up next to a fire and some great people for Five of the Best: Vlogmas 2016!

London At Christmas | Vlogmas Day 21 – Rosianna Halse Rojas

We don’t think we’ve ever seen anyone capture the magic of Christmas as perfectly as Rosianna Halse Rojas does in her Vlogmas. London’s lights feel magical, and the love between Rosianna and her friends is palpable. We adore this video because it so perfectly captures the simple spirit of Christmas; the way that Rosianna captures the city lights reminds us of how we saw the magic of Christmas when we were little kids.

This video is the perfect balance of happiness and nostalgia, and makes us remember warm, loving nights spent with our own friends. We know that 2016 has been a bit rocky, but a warm cup of cider, this wonderful homage to friends, and the spirit of Christmas are certain to brighten your spirits.

CHRISTMAS WITH LOUISE | VLOGMAS – MoreZoella

A Vlogmas list would never be complete without the Queen of Vlogmas herself, Zoe Sugg! First of all, we challenge you to find any Vlogmas intro as cute as Zoe’s. Pippin and Percy with Santa hats? Nala dressed as a reindeer? Alfie Deyes as an elf?! We may just DIE from all the cuteness!

We have to admit, with all of the festive days throughout December, it was pretty tough choosing a favourite. But a Vlogmas with a Zoe and Louise Pentland reunion? Of course this had to make the list! We would be just as excited as Louise was for dominoes and How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

Undeniably, homey days with Zoe and Louise are the sweetest things, so seeing them drive around and admire Christmas lights warms our little Christmas hearts. Vlogmas may be winding down, but we have to agree with Zoe: at least we get to ring in 2017 with new Sherlock episodes!

EDINBURGH AT CHRISTMAS | VLOGMAS WEEK 2 – Lynnsay | Sartorial Scot

Along this Vlogmas journey, we wanted to be sure to introduce you to Lynnsay Martin, one of the most flawless Glasgow vloggers you’ll ever meet. If you thought London was magical at this time of year, then you’ll find Edinburgh at Christmas positively enchanting. Christmas flowers and Christmas lunches combined with some Christmas market shopping are sure to keep you in the festive spirit long after you’ve opened your last present.

So grab a cosy blanket and some more biscuits. Once you see Lynnsay’s Vlogmas we know you’ll want to spend the whole day watching a marathon of all her videos.

WHAT I EAT IN A DAY AT CHRISTMAS | VLOGMAS #21 – Niomi Smart

Next up, we simply had to include Niomi Smart in our Vlogmas marathon!

While we love seeing all of the decadent cakes and hot chocolates featured in Vlogmas videos, we absolutely adore Niomi for giving us some fantastically healthy alternatives for this time of year. Those pancakes look divine and we’re now dying for some kale! Wait, dying for some kale? What?! We’re not even sure we know what kale is!

Plus, our hearts simply melt every time we see Daisy May! No wonder Niomi is so great with healthy recipe suggestions. We can’t imagine you would need any biscuits with such a sweet little girl warming your heart.

I Ho Ho Hope It’s Santa | Vlogmas Day 24 – Tom Fletcher

There’s no one more perfect to round-up our Vlogmas list than Tom Fletcher!

At this point, we’re pretty sure no one loves Christmas more than Tom and his wife, Giovanna. With perfectly festive lyrics and impeccable harmonizing, we’re positive you’ll have this sweet cover on repeat all the way until next Christmas.

Let this wonderful tune lull you into a Christmas slumber and help you digest that delicious Christmas dinner. Next up, a magical New Year’s Eve! Maybe Tom and Giovanna will cover a fantastic New Year’s song for us as well? We can only hope!
