All right Steve win me a Santa, I've never seen a Christmas themed...
...ride before.
We have decided to come to probably the most Christmasiest thing happening in
the city.
So we have just entered, Jess has as already found more Christmas ornaments.
Good morning everybody.
Last time you saw us we were in Finland and since then we've actually come all
the way to England and we've been here for a whole week having an amazing family
trip up in Birmingham. That is where Stephen's auntie,
uncle and cousin live and we have had the most Christmas-iest time.
Trying my first holiday themed coffee is a spice cappuccino
smells soo Christmasy and they also have very Christmasy themed cups.
I can't resist.
So while we were there, it felt like we had our first English Christmas.
We went and picked out a tree, a real tree, Soo as a family,
we're about to all collect our first ever real Christmas tree.
We aren't used to this. They have them in Australia,
but it's definitely not a thing. It needs the cool cold weather.
But I'm ready. I've always wanted to choose out my Christmas tree,
so I'm going to help our cousin choose out the tree for the year.
Oh this is looking good.
What are we looking for?
And then all you have to do at the top is cut it to the length you want it to
be.
I've been ready for this my whole life.
And then we made our own mulled wine and then decorated the tree with all the
family. And Birmingham has one of the biggest Christmas markets in the world.
So we went to Christmas markets and it was so fun.
But seeing as we've had some family time,
the family time is not ending because we do have two people that have decided to
gatecrash the rest of our Christmas trip here in Europe.
Hello everybody, Hello welcome to London.
Des and Linda. They've gatecrashed our Christmas trip!
The last time you saw these ones was Portugal. Yeah.
How nice are the views from the top?
Oh I think we're on top of London right now.
This is the part where your feet start to tickle you on top of it and start to
head down. Yeah that was actually quite good,
can't believe we've never done it before.
We decided to get some fast track passes cause it is December Christmas period.
This town is pretty packed but the views are amazing. We could see big Ben,
we could see Westminster Abbey, we could see up and down the Thames.
It was worth it. I highly suggest you guys do it.
We just
off the eye and just down the road at South bank there is a Christmas market
like i fee like. We're just going to stumble upon them all day today.
So we've just found a couple of haystacks.
Having a hot chocolates and what is roaming around the markets.
There's a bunch of places to eat, a lot of places to buy ornaments.
So we did get our London ornament here and it is ...
I just love when you stumbled upon a place that you don't expect.
When we were up in the eye and I was like wait, is that a Christmas market.
She can spot it.
So if you ever come down to London and you're hungry.
We definitely recommend coming down to the Camden markets, it is full of food,
full of
little markets and here they one of the oldest ice skating rings every Christmas
time. I think I just chose the place with the longest lines.
It means its good food.
They do cheesy naan bread.
So this is the Camden markets.
It's almost in like the industrial side of London.
You can just see the brick work over here where it's like stained from smoke and
then you'd have a look around. There's all these different stalls here,
so we've gone for the cheesy naan,
my parents went for some fish and chips and then it's right on the canal. Soo.
Almost feels like Amsterdam meets London. It's a really cool little spot.
So much choice. Honestly, I can seen like 20 different cafes here.
We could've totally of shared.
The dude was from South India as well.
That is so good, we are going to be so full.
When was the last time you had Indian food?
I love how it's the fusion of the toasty as well.
Soo, you can't come to London without seeing a play.
And tonight we're seeing one of the most Christmas -IEST plays you can see.
We are going to see a Christmas Carol here at the old Vic theater.
That play last night was so good. The acting. Oh my gosh,
it was amazing.
And when we got there they were giving up mince pies so it felt so Christmasy
and it had so much like audience involvement.
I've haven't experienced that in a play before,
but it's actually on till the middle of January.
So I definitely recommend if you feel like getting and having like a Christmassy
night, go see a Christmas Carol at the old Vic. It was amazing.
But we've woken up, we've rugged all up.
It's the next day and we're actually staying in Greenwich.
We haven't stayed in this area before. We found a little two bedroom apartment,
super cute right on the high street and right next to the train station.
And today we going to a place,
I can't believe we've never done before.
How big is the dragon?
So it looks like the first thing we need to do is we have a tour of the studio.
Really cool if you've been here before,
if you've never been here before around Christmas time,
they make it a winter experience. So as you can see it's all snow.
We've heard that they changed some of the exhibits for Christmas time,
so if you're wondering where we got our tickets from, we used a Kook,
they're an amazing app where you can get tickets to attractions all around the
world. We use them in Japan to go to Universal studios.
We used them in America to go to Disneyland and now we've used them to come to
Warner brothers studios here in London and I am so,
so excited to basically just jump on the app.
We've got our tickets and we're just going to jump on it.
Jump on the app search where you are, attractions and shows, tours.
You can pretty much get everything here so we just easily open up the app,
go and collect our tickets and then we can head straight into the tour.
So thanks so much for Klook, for partnering up with us on this London episode.
So one thing we're going to find on this tour is that everything is the
original,
So this is the original cupboard under the stairs where the entire world met
Daniel Radcliffe for the very first time. Woah that's so cool.
So small!
I can't believe it they have the entire great hall,
This is what we're in at the moment,
of the first proper set and they've set up for Christmas.
It was crazy.
Cause like when you see the films or cause the roof is candles isn't it?
But of course now we're in this filming studio.
They've got all the lights set up like a sound stage.
Harry Potter. It's meant to show you what you want.
What do you want Jess? They
even have Hagrids Hut and wow.
You can see how caotic it is inside there.
Time to go into the forbidden forest?
Feeling spooky?
Ready for the spiders?
So
we're about to jump aboard the authentic Hogwarts express.
I didn't even realize you could jump on this?
Were on the real Hogwarts Express. It smells old.
So we've actually tried, butterbeer a few times. We've tried it cold and hot.
So we decided to try something different this time.
They do butterbeer ice cream,
Which I don't think universal studios does.
I've never seen it before. Ready?
Mind is working on it. What is it.
It kinda tastes like? It tastes like a creamy caramel.
Okay. It's hard. I don't think I've ever really had a flavor like that.
It's really yummy. Like super creamy,
You're right creamy, caramel,
creamy caramel,
Kind of like Macca's soft serve.
It's definitely like Macca's soft serve.
You can actually go inside the Dursleys house.
Four Privet drive. This room looks so cool. Harry?
Wow. Coming into this room,
it definitely gives you a sense Scale of just how big some of these set pieces
were.
I think this is a new area recently, right?
Yeah A couple of months ago I think.
So whenever you see like exterior shots of Hogwarts,
this is the model they built and then they just put a green screen behind it.
And then like you said, they're like flying through a Hofwarts.
They'd come in like almost like kids with a camera,
fly it through there and then like color correct it and then add all the
characters in there. So this is the real size.
Yeah.
Wow.
That was seriously so good!
Perfect for a rainy day here in London. But that like
exceeded our expectations. I think we have to do this back at home.
Okay. We've caught the train back into London.
The weather has changed so much from yesterday, but that was amazing.
If you guys are into Harry Potter.
It's a must see being able to see behind the scenes, see all the real sets,
real props, real costumes, and it's so interactive.
We spent a couple hours in there. I did not expect to spend that. It is amazing.
I can see why all of you told us to go.
So. Seeing it's, it's our Final night here in London.
We decided to come to probably the most Christmas-iest thing happening in the
city.
It's called winter Wonderland at Hyde park and I've heard that this is the place
to go. If you want to have a Christmassy day in London.
We just entered and Jess has already found more Christmas ornaments.
Thought we'd got our London one.
Steve, it's like a telephone box.
Alright I think we found the ultimate Christmas decoration.
A Teddy bear with your face on it. Oh look.
So cute. So we found some fire pits to warm up.
We found that you can buy marshmallows and I think that might've been one of
your parents' first time roasting marshmellows on a fire.
Yeah Mom Said that was the second time she has ever done that.
She set them all on fire. All right, Steve.
Win me a Santa!!
Which
one do you want?
I want a Santa. I think they all are the same right?
Soo We'll get the one to the left.
I've never seen Christmas themes ride before.
Alrighty. That ends at 48 hours here in London.
I definitely think if you're looking for a city we want to celebrate Christmas
London. I feel like it's the place to do it, but as you guys can see,
this does not look like London anymore.
We've actually jumped on a little cruise and it's special because it's a
Christmas market cruise,
so it's going to be take us to a couple of destinations in Europe.
We just arrived at our first one, so if you guys are new around here,
we've got a brand new episode coming very soon.
Hit that subscribe button and we'll see you guys very shortly.
Finally going to see our first ever German Christmas market.
