Christmas and Hanukah 🙏🏼
Christmas decorations can’t come too early for me. Happy day😂
Fantastic, thanks so much for watching 👍😀
🇨🇦I hear you . Now see it from this point. I heard similar comments when stores put out Christmas in August. But for those of us who are limited in funds we have to plan way ahead as there was only so many pay cheques before Christmas. Now since the world has gone to the dark side it’s a blessing they open even earlier so that , like you, we can make a Christmas to remember for our families. Be kind and understanding with true Christmas spirit. Xox
I like your video, My favorite s are glassboubles some animal inside. Ofcourse those three🧸🧸🧸 Harrods bears In box are cute too. I have to write a letter to Farter Cristmas🥰
Yes love those three bears. If you write to him now he'll have plenty of time to get your present 🎁 in the sack and on his sleigh 🛷 👍😀
I've heard of starting early -but 5 months? lol It is my favorite time of year though. So God bless it.
Welp, it's kind of early. But on the other side it will be great for tourists to buy a great gift ahead of time as a keepsake for themselves or for the family
Absolutely Rhonda, get a Christmas souvenir whilst in London 👍😀
I have taken advantage of buying Christmas things at Harrods in the summer several times over the years. Their Christmas department is beautiful.
By the way...Do you work for Herrods ? ...Sounds like it ...🤦
Never too early
Especially in this ever worsening world
😳 kind of early? Wash your mouth out lol
It’s never too early for Christmas Department stores to open, especially with the cost of living thanks to incompetent governments.
Not a bad idea, so many people visit London in the summer, they can buy some nice decorations because they would probably not visit at Christmas time.
You're right, gives people the chance to take them back with them 👍😀
Harrods decided to bring Christmas forward because they know we ain’t getting a summer this year.
Thanks for watch and commenting, which made me laugh - so right 😂👍😀
😂😂😂😂
Thank you!!! I received my keychain and bracelet that I won from you today!!! I am going to hang the keychain on my Christmas Tree!!! I so appreciate your kind gifts and wish you the best!!! 🎉
Wonderful, so pleased you've got it already. Thanks so much 👍😀
Oh no! Can’t bear to think of Christmas yet! I like my fruit and veg in season and I like Christmas in its proper season too! 🤣
😂😂😂 What was funny was watch people walking around the department in t shirts and shorts 👍😀
Spot on 👍 totally agree. Christmas decorations in July it's ridiculous.
Love Christmas in July. I would get a snow globe or Nutcracker for my green bag.
Don't tell anyone but I bought one of the teddy 🧸 snow globes to give away on the channel as they are so lovely 👍😀 Thanks Channy
The Mackenzie Childs decorations are lovely this year, and I also like the wellies and thermos flask baubles.
Love it! I am surprised as it's Harrods they are not Hunter wellies! 😄👍
I didn’t think of that! Maybe you’ve given them an idea!🤔
@@tracythomas132 going to patent that one right now 😂😂😂
It is never too early for Christmas. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic, thanks for watching 👍😀
Here in the USA, fabric shops and craft shops have large Christmas In July sections to encourage us to get started on our handmade projects. Paper crafting companies release their Christmas collections starting in July as well. What would I buy? OO-oo-oo! I am really drawn to all the gingerbread and candy items...ornaments, table decorations, etc. Sweet Christmas items!! Do I see a basket of snail ornaments in the Scout About section? Nice! Sardine tin is rather unique. This has been such an interesting video! Thank you...much appreciated!
Out early to be able to get making, love it. Yes the gingerbread houses are lovely. Thanks so much for watching 👍😀
Snow globe for me too,beautiful Christmas decorations there. 🥰👍
Got to love a good snow globe, thanks for watching 👍😀
Lovely video ( as always , liked the Ice cream video haha)
I think I will wait till nearer Christmas say November .
Thanks for watch as always and being here, November will be great when they open the window displays and go full on! 👍😀
It’s never too early to plan for Christmas! Plus when the store is a major tourist destination, year round would be fantastic for Christmas decor. I visited London years ago the end of March and LOVED my visit to Harrods. Would have loved to have picked up a Christmas ornament as a remembrance of my trip! I did buy several gifts at Harrods for family and they, too, would have loved a Harrods Christmas ornament.
Totally agree and Harrods is just one of those places 🙂👍
Ditto! ❤🎉😊
I worked at Hobby Lobby and they started putting Christmas out in July and actually some things were coming in the freight room way before July.
Beautiful job. Thank you for showing them to us. I will be going on line and ordering.
I tried to look online on Harrods and the online store does not even have the Christmas shop open yet. So I think the Christmas decorations are only in the store proper. However, if you find Christmas open on their website, could you please share? All the best ones will be gone of they wait until November to open online. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. It's delightful. I'm in the US, so I'd have to order early.
Thanks so much for watching and happy ordering 👍😀
I love it! But it's also a bit weird because we have 34 degrees today in Vienna and it's boiling hot. On the other side this video gives me hope that cooler times are on their way. I am a huge Christmas fan and I love to see all christmassy things. Thank you for sharing!
Yes it is funny in the heat of it all to see the decorations, but as you say makes you think of Christmas ahead. Thanks so much for watching 👍😀
I’m in Australia and it’s weird for me for you guys to speak about it being cold and Christmas when we have a beautifully hot Christmas. 😂 it has always been weird singing about “dashing through the snow” when it’s 44’c outside 😂
@@HGCUPCAKES 😂😂 I can imagine that it's weird to sing a song like that in summer. Maybe one day you can come to Europe and celebrate Christmas in the mountains with snow 😀👋
I’m in England , it’s wet and cool, so we’re totally ready for Christmas
@@julieturner5281 ideal to put the decorations out right now 😂☔🌧️🌧️🌧️
Its early but great for tourists like me! ❤
Totally, get your decorations ordered early 👍😄
I envy people who can enter the Harrods and enjoy the shoping!! That brings the sweetest memories from time I spent in London...
Fantastic that it brings back great memories. Thanks so much for watching :)
Oh my goodness! I am so happy that Christmas season has come back because you showed up on my feet again. I haven't watched your videos in a while, but I'm going to check back at all the fun that I missed during your car coronation videos, but I've always enjoyed your tours during the Christmas season. Wishing one day I'll be lucky enough to be in London at Christmas time. Many blessings too and congratulations you're getting close to 10,000!😊
You must put it on your bucket list. My family and I have been all over the world and there was no place like London, especially ❤Harrods, Christmas time. You really really really owe it to yourself to go.
Hiya, hope you and your family are well and well done you on 16k, wow that is climbing quickly and well deserved. Hopefully you'll make it here one day and be lovely to see you, especially for 🫖🫖🫖 Take care and big hugs 👍😀
Christmas 🕊 Time!!! 🐑 Merry Christmas time! 🌲 🎄 🎁 Praise The Lord 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you, Steve, that was a really nice seeing all the decorations. I love Christmas 🎄
Harrods make me think to the sweet and beatiful Lady Diana ! I love christmas decorations ! Thank you my dear friend 😊❤
I have recognised some decorations that were sold in Melbourne last year. The average price is Aus $14;99. Harrod’s markup is extraordinary.
Wow that is one heck of a mark up 👍😀
hi which stores in Melbourne? i did some from David Jones, but wondered where else? thanks
Don’t forget about the exchange rate also.
I loved having a look around Harrodsburg when I was travelling
Every Christmas tree needs a boat lol
Well, I think it’s a little too early to be putting them up but if you are crazy about Christmas and you only have small amount of time and money to buy everything you want to decorate your home. It’s a great idea to have it up early for you have time to purchase what you need. They have some fabulous, beautiful things that I’m sure are very expensive but like a lot of times if I have the money and the time I can pick up one piece a month and by Christmas I would have enough for a beautiful display and if I didn’t have all these months I could not possibly spend that much money at one time they had some beautiful, black and white pieces. I would’ve loved to picked up. I do a lot of McKenzie Childs Decour in my home and the black and white pieces will go perfect with it. Thanks so much for sharing. I loved these beautiful beautiful Christmas decor items they had. We live in America in California to be exact and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen so many beautiful pieces before in one place but I could see I could spend a lot of money here if I had five months to spend it for Christmas. Thanks so much for sharing. I watch the video from the beginning to the end, didn’t want to miss any of the beautiful Christmas decor and the beautiful displays. It always gives me a great idea what I can do to make my house look beautiful for the holidays. Thanks for sharing my dear friend.
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment, its brilliant that it has given you ideas for decorations :)
When I watch your Christmas Harrods specials I always order online. Christmas in July. We have a store based in Oklahoma- corp is here called Hobby Lobby and they already have all the Christmas displayed so when I see Harrods Christmas it makes me so happy.
That's great because I wondered if Harrods was the only place so far, but great to hear it's not. Happy ordering and thanks so much for watching and commenting 👍😀
Same here. I’m waiting for the sales….
It's never too early for Christmas.
Totally 👍😀
I'm a traditional Christmas decoration lover, I adore the snowglobes Steve... not sure I could ever afford one though, the Gingerbread houses are also a favourite and teddy bears too😊
Hi Sharon, yes the snowglobes and gingerbread houses are amazing, but out of money reach :)
i bought a christmas snowman at Harrods in 1975, every year it comes out and is like old friend.
Those sort of decorations are fantastic, that take you back in time and there for you every year 👍😀
That was a great video, and perfect to help cool down this hot weather. You did a wonderful job going thru those hundreds of ornaments. The one that I like the best was the embroidered cushion with the British flag and the monogram of King Charles on it !
Thanks a million and yes that cushion! 👑👑👑👑👍😀
You’re the first person I’ve seen that, like me use Christmas vlogs to cool down in summer!
Merry Christmas in July! If Harrods is doing this noe it's finally a thing!😘 Just love the camping theme! It's all so beautiful!
It's official 👍😀 Must admit the tent ⛺ ones have grown on me!
I loved that one too and I've never gone camping.
🤔Does going to Summer Camp as a child count?
Hello from Oregon, USA. I've never been to London but it would be my first choice if I were to travel abroad. I've been wanting a London phone booth for a few years so I would definitely buy one of those and I really liked the gingerbread guard station and the ball ornaments with the landmarks. I love Christmas so bring it on!🎄
Never too early for Christmas 🤶 😊
Totally 👍😀
Love the decorations- we are visiting in October so will be heading to Harrods. Thank you for a great video.
Fantastic, great timing for you to be able to get there! Have a fantastic trip in October 😄
I'm so glad it's already open for when I'll be there in a few weeks, I was going to come again before Christmas just for that, but now I can go early! 🤗✨
It's so funny as I was working on the video yesterday when you commented and I thought that this would be perfect timing for your visit! 👍😄
Hairy Nutcrackers are traditional , even though Harrods may have taken a while to cotton on, the proper German ones used rabbit fur but today I’m sure they’ll be synthetic . I love them and thanks for the walk through , magical .
Thanks so much for that, great to know. Thanks for watching and letting us know 👍😀
❤I love Christmas. So wonderful.🌲🌲🎅🇦🇹
Absolutely 😃
We love Harrods, especially at Christmas. We visit from the US every year just for photographs with St Nick & to buy London theme decorations (some of ours are 50+ years old and falling to pieces, but we still hang them). ❤ We noticed 2023 ornaments just like ours from decades gone by. Nut crackers with beards? Gasp! HATE it. Won’t be buying any of those. You asked which department we’d like to see - yes please. For gifts, we buy their gorgeous cutting boards with knife sets and London themed dinnerware. We’d love for you to take us shopping in that department. 😊 thank you so much. 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Love those old types of decorations that you don't know how they survive year after year, but a must for the tree. Are you making it over this year before Christmas? Love the dinnerware idea to film 🎥 and have put that on the list, didn't know about the London theme and looking forward to seeing that, thank you 👍😀
Unfortunately, because of a family crisis in July 2022, we didn’t make it last year nor will we make it this year. Whaaaa whaaaa whaaaa. My DNA is 100% UK and I so wish my family had stayed there. Love, love, love Scotland, England, and Wales. Always feels like home and everyone there feels like family. 😍
It can never come too soon. And what's the betting I'll still be too late to buy the ones I really wanted? What always catches me out it taking a look around and then heading outside to find how hot and bright it is! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the other big store displays. Will they go early too? It's going to be fun to see.
Hi Peter, yes be interesting to see who is next and keeping everything peeled so we can get there quick and bring it to you, thanks as always 👍😀
Loved the decorations, they have such an amazing variety to choose from.🎉
Fantastic!! Thank you for sharing!!! This was wonderful.
💚❤️😎Thanks for Sharing!!! beautiful store!
The tradicional Chirstmas I LOVE.
Christmas in July!!! Yes!! In USA it’s a thing we do every year! Love it!!!
Summer is too hot...this cooled me down..thanks..never too early...😊
That's a great use for the video, love it 👍😀
I think it’s brilliant opening the Christmas rooms so early! Visitors to London can bring back a lovely holiday memento. I love holiday trees filled with treasured memories collected one by one over a lifetime. I’d opt for one of the glass or felt dogs, I think. Or possibly a glass London-themed bauble.
Lovely, those are great :)
I will be using the Xmas things from last year. I am cutting back.
Bravo!!! I am proud and congratulate you..... happiness is not in " stuff " anyway but in " moments with the precious ones " , right? ;) helene (Canada)
The time is running so fast that it is better to start early for collecting Christmas decorations, gifts and all things nice.
Love Harrods. Just missed the Christmas shop last year. I loved the felt animals the pig especially 😂😂
That was a shame last year. They seem to haveorenfelt animals this year 👍😀
Simple Beatiful all the decorations! Thanks for sharing!✨
Thanks so much for watching :)
We have started with Christmas decorations in the stores here in America as well.
These are STUNNING! So elegant although I must admit, the 'food' especially fried egg, hot dog and burger were, well let's just say we got a chuckle!
I love the Coke line. They are nostalgic, whimsical and timeless!
Thank you for sharing. I'm so excited to see more as the season grows ever closer.
Be blessed!
Thanks so much for watching and yes the Coke line seems to expand each year! 😃
I LOVE the LONDON CALLING area! 😊👏
I’m so sad I missed the launch of this video! 😢 this makes my day
Thanks so much for watching and commenting 👍😀
If i didn't have to worrybabout making money to spend money it diring this time then i would absolutely grab many items to add to my Christmas collection. I love to decorate for the holidays.
🪴Love crimbo….
Never to early…
Beautiful collections, decks 🦃🎄🍾🥃
Absolutely!!!! :)
Obsessed with the 2023 Harrods Bear!!! 🧸❤
I know Ethan is a great bear this year and I think those bear themed decorations will go off the shelves very quick! 😄
I'm finally watching this! Every year we have a theme for Christmas, this year's is 'random' I think some of those decorations were good, tent and fish!
Love it, go as random as you can! :)
I love the "Guilty Pleasure" ornaments! Extra sparkly! 🎉
They do have a lovely touch to them 👍😀
Christmas in July…thanks for sharing!!!
I would buy the tea sets bubbles and decorate my dinning table with it all year long. Happy Christmas in July 😂❤
Love it, a great idea 😄👍
Great video glad you gave us a close up look at all the decorations.👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much for watching and commenting 😃👍
Gosh! Very beautiful and I agree with some other comments. A lovely Souvenir for a Harrods visit. Quite surprised they don't have an all year round Christmas shop. There is a beautiful one in Stratford. A lovely cool video for a hot day! Thankyou as always!
A pleasure and thanks so much for watching. What shop do you have in Stratford? 😁
@LondonVisited I haven't been for a while but I think it was called The Christmas Shop. It smells divine! Cinnamon, pine. May be worth a visit?!
It"s never too early for Christmas. I love the food baubles but I don"t hang them on the tree, I hang them in my Kitchen window.
Now that is a much better and brilliant idea, love it. Thanks for sharing 👍😀
I have Victorian theme Christmas baubles and I place them here and there all over the house like on top of potpourri or adorning my BR dresser, etc. and enjoy them year round...they don't look necessarily strictly Christmasy which is why when I like them they blend in with my decor.
We hang London themed decorations all over our house for year-round enjoyment. It nourishes the soul.
I've already started my Christmas shopping, so this tracks. 😂
😄😄😄
Great video. Way too early for me but that made it “ different” to watch in a good way! Wonder if Ethan Bear in named after Tom Cruise in “ Mission Impossible”🤔😉💜
Christmas Mission Possible :)
Thank you for this. Your accent is soothing. You would make a great online book reader. Much love from the Philippines.
Many thanks 👍😀
thanks for doing this I love Christmas in July
Thank you for this. It's all so beautiful. LOVE IT!!🎄🎁👏 Subscribed!
Fantastic to have you here and a big welcome. Thanks for watching and letting us know :)
I’m so excited that Christmas is up and running, we will be visiting in Oct. from California. I can’t wait!
Thank you, for your videos absolutely fabulous. 😍
I love Christmas
I agree never too early for a nice new bauble 👍🎄 love being able to look around the department.
I can’t believe it ! Thank you ! I can’t wait 🎉
Omg! 🙉 i just yesterday watched first traditional xmast movie and seen film Holiday two times this summer 😂😂😂😂 i love Christmast decorations and trees ❤
Perfect timing, could be time to watch Love Actually & National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation! Thanks so much for watching 👍😀
It’s never too early for Christmas 💞
Totally :)
Well filmed. I love Xmas decorations. It is very early… but I still enjoyed it. I’m so glad that your narration is calm and you take time to leave gaps in talking. As so many youtubers just blab non stop and it’s overwhelming.
Thank you so much!
I always have three trees, one all in white, one with glass and chrystal and one with a woodland theme, bunnies, mushrooms, deer, foliage etc I also decorate the hallway and all the chandeliers!
Fantastic, so in all the collections there is something for every tree! Thanks for watching and sharing :)
Some of those are definitely coming home with me 🤗 I promise to buy some of the disco ones 😄🪩
That's funny, the great thing is you should have loads of choice, you might need to bring an empty suitcase 😀👍
@@LondonVisited well, I'm only there for 4 days anyway, so I won't need too many clothes, suitcase will be half empty 😄
A lot of stores in London and other cities around the world start Christmas early for the tourist interest to let them buy 🥳🥳🥳💃🏼🎄 🌍
It's the most wonderful time of the year. ❤❤❤
Love it. 😊
Wow i wish they would do that here in Australia and get it out early for those of us who love to shop early. I know the USA dose it early
Yes! USA begins celebrating 🎉 Christmas in July - that is, those of us who love the holidays. ❤
So pleased we can bring Harrods to you, until the decorations come out there. Thanks for watching 👍😀
Maravilhoso ❤❤ parabéns e obrigada por dividir tudo isso 👏👏 sucesso e felicidades
Um prazer e muito obrigado por assistir e comentar 😄👍
Fantastic video! I’m visiting next month and can’t wait to pick up gifts for family and friends back in Aus!
That is perfect timing as the gift department should be fully open as well, all presents sorted 👍 Thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
Me to I have quite a collection lovely piece.
That’s a lot of work!! Very lovely and inviting. ❤
Thanks so much for watching 👍😄
We are flying in on Sunday from Perth Western Australia. Wasnt planning on visiting Harrods until I saw your video!! Very excited now 👏
That's fantastic Karen, timing is perfect and if getting a decoration or two you'll have great choice! Also do have a coffee at the coffee bar in the food hall, a real treat to take in everything and people watch as well. Whatever you're doing whilst here have an amazing time 👍😀
I love it all gorgeous
The nutcracker want to look like the norms .😂
Well I am so excited that I found your channel again! Last year I watched many of your videos starting with Harrods! - Then I lost the channel. I thought I'd type in Harrods Christmas seeing that the Christmas display was early this year and there you were! A lovely video and beautiful decorations, I love all things London and love traditional red and green decorations so I'd buy those x
Welcome back, great to have you here and thanks for finding us again 👍😀 Yes the traditional colours always look fantastic. You found us just in time as all the decorations start getting switched on next week 🎄🎄🎄
Excellent video, there is only 1 Harrods.
Harrods at a Christmas is the best
👍👍😁
Thanks so much for watching and you're right the one and only Harrods 👍😀
Beautiful
I love your commentary with its subtle humour. Come to Australia and it’d be so much fun to do a Christmas tour of the Big Department and boutique stores here. 😊
Now that would be amazing!!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting, really appreciated 😄👍
@@LondonVisited Aww thank you for replying. You’d be most welcome Down Under. 🤗 (Interestingly, David Jones, one of Australia’s oldest big department stores, sells some of the same glass baubles from Harrods as exclusives here!) 😊
Hermosas, bellas esferas. ❤❤
If I could have one I would want...one of everything! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thanks so much for watching 😃
I would buy two of the embroidered stockings. But wait, it is 5 months away, I can make my own.
I am in the United States and I just subscribed to your channel. I enjoyed this video of Harrods very much . I would buy the phone booth , the double decker bus and any ornaments that decorate London icons on them . Debbie in Michigan United States.
Hi Debbie, great to have you here and thanks so much for subscribing. Yes I have to say I love the London ones and did get a Big Ben last year for our tree. Filming these is a nightmare as I walk away after buying too many 😂 👍😀
