- Christmas in Solvang! The Danish town just a little ways north of Los Angeles and Santa Barbara that's full of Charm, history, European looking buildings, themed shops, bars, wine, souvenirs, Frikadeller, and so much more. Solvang California is the closest thing you'll get to a real life Fantasyland in Southern California outside Disneyland and now it's Christmas! - or technically, Julfest! Thats right! JULFEST! Come see the Christmas lights, hunt for Nisse, the gnomes / elves of Solvang, and lets see how much we can see before ... everything closes!? If you're planing a trip to see Julfest, especially at night, DONT MISS this video!
Glædelig Jul!

It's been 37 years since I've been to Solvang and doesn't look like it's changed at all. Good for them.
GOOD TO SEE ALLY!
LOTS AND LOTS OF CHRISTMAS TREATS!
Location of one of my all time favorite movies, Sideways. I grew up in Camarillo so I went to Solvang at least once a year.
Yeah, one of my favorites too...
@@369284ab do you drink Merlot?
@@kevinwilt3918 if I'm drinking wine, I enjoy the cabs
@@369284ab give me a good GSM or Sangiovese anyday. Cabs are great with dinner
@@kevinwilt3918 I agree, they compliment a lot of meals
Don’t know what that broom-head thing was but your made-up voice for it had me laughing 😂
Had my wife and I laughing constantly. Great video as always Justin
Oh my gosh, Justin, you and your videos bring such JOY into my life! I laughed at this vlog I don't know how many times, and, I know I hadn't laughed that much in a week!
Solvang has always been a very favorite place of mine, so unique! I've never been at Christmas time. If I get to visit I'll remember to go during the day and stay throughout the evening!!!
Thanks for another great vlog!!! 🌼
Gladly Yul!!! Is the word of the day
I hate and love the fact that you did this video because I moved to Miami 4 years ago and sometimes I miss going to Solvang. I grew up in a little town called Lompoc and Solvang was always a place to go when relatives came or when I wanted to relax and just walk around. They have so many activities throughout the year. Watching this made me a bit homesick of the area I grew up in. Just seeing the little Solvang streets I used to walk and the shops and well, everything about this video. Watching it made me feel like I was there. Thanks for sharing your Solvang winter wonderland experience. Definitely made me miss home for a bit.
I totally love these videos that you do Holiday feast of fun . I love the 66 road trip as well weird side show attraction . It's always a pleasure to see Allie and your son as well . Love you my favorite couple and family in the world ❤️❤️❤️
You even have a table to sit down and eat lol
It's been a looooong time since I've been to Solvang but I do remember going through all the shops. Another family tradition was heading over to "Pea Soup Andersen's" in Boulton for dinner or lunch. The only pea soup I ever liked and the rest of the food was top notch as well. Thanks for bumping a few of my memory cells.
Must stop!
I used to work at the Farmers Market there, such a beautiful little town.
I so love Allys smile!!!I think I know why Ally walks 10ft behind you!LOL!If I saw Ally Id pay for her meal too!
You're right...your tour ended too soon! Oh, well...How to say "Merry Christmas" and "Santa Claus" in Danish is firmly cemented in my brain now! LOL!
THANKS GUYS ! Bucket list place to visit for sure :) !!!
Love Solvang, hilarious and completely fun.
CALIFORNIA'S FANTASYLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video. I used to live in Solvang for about 2 1/2 yes. Cried when we had to move.
My German-Danish Side is from Schweisleg-Holstein so I very likely got a little Viking in me somewhere way back. Time to stop off for a day at Solvang, CA.
Reminds me of my hometown of Taos, NM during Christmas
Wow! I’ve gone to Solvang many times, but never during Christmas. So cute! Now it’s on the list!
Surprisingly even if you go to Solvang any time of the year it still looks like Christmas lol! I grew up in the area.
My grandfather used to run a Scandinavian gifts wholesale business and had customers in Solvang! He was from Sweden and called the gnomes/trolls "tomte" (pronounced tom-tuh). My grandma's favorite bakery was always Mortensen's. Cool video!
OK finally watched it. Loved it! Glad there are still Danish living there. I was sad when we were there when the town closed down early. And I too can’t eat wheat, so I can relate.
that Santa out france 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This place is my Mom's FAV
Just booked for Saturday, amazeballs!!!
Justin your clog dancing was great!!!! You made me laugh so hard🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Thank you for sharing Solvang. I haven't been there in a couple of years. It's such a cute town but they close down too early.
Praying for you and your lovely lady today. Merry Christmas, and thanks so much for taking us along on your adventures! Keep on Shleeping well!
I love this place! Ive been coming here for many years, actually I was just there the other day...lol
Thanks bro for sharing this awesome is awesome town and it's beautiful too at Christmas time thank you so much and I'm glad you and sis Allie is okay yay all better have a great day and be safe sincerely Suszie ♥️♥️
I absolutely loved the 3 animatronics making bread.
It's so good to see you. Both ! Thank you for sharing your Solvang video as I had never heard of it before! I hope you had a Wonderful Thanksgiving with London and your Families and Friends
MERRY CHRISTMAS BLESS YOU from Tammy in PA
You can also visit Mission La Purísima Concepción. It looks like a early California movie set with authentic structures filled with furniture and relics you can walk around and sit on or touch. It is a very large property with lovely walking trails. Just before Solvang there is a short hike to Gaviota Wind Caves overlooking the sea. Short steep hike and fantastic cave views. Don't forget the wine tours like Fess Parker Winery & Vineyard. Also this aria is were the Spanish moss starts to appear on the trees. A lovely thing to see.
And the mission is also very haunted
Happy holidays Justin alley 🌎🥰🎄😎👸💯
My husband and I live in Central California Santa Maria 20 minutes from Solvang. Last night my husband and I experience the Julefest Solvang for the first time. Going to share it my channel Thank you Justin will mention you shout out to you! 💯💯👍😊
Nice South Park reference, that made me laugh so much I forgot about that episode. Damn lockness monster 😂
Thanks for sharing your adventures. 😃😀
Spinach or apple Danish-Yum.
I randomly went in the tiki place and loved it. I saw it on a top 10 list, cool hoodies. Glaeddelig jul to you.
@14:31 The owner of The High Roller Tiki Lounge was actually in your video briefly. He was the gentleman recording the band when you walked in.
Love it
Loved the video Justin. I was in Solvang last in 2019 before the plague. I stayed at the Chumash Casino and Hotel which is just down the main road from the center of Solvang. I was comped so I don’t know the rates but I’m guessing it may be cheaper than some of the more touristy places. Maybe not but it’s certainly close and nice.
The last Time I went there, I remember playing with small motorized boats and cars in a few places. I hope they are still around.
Love Solvang. Have family in Santa Barbara!! 👍🏼
Those Little Gnome fellers are often sold as Gonks here in the UK, I've got one I terrorise the Mrs with every year.
I love places like Solvang (although I've never been), much of our Christmas markets mimic Scandinavian and Germanic traditions so I'll often raid the goodies.
Liked your video, we went yesterday and you weren’t kidding about the place shutting down right at dark. Lol. Went from busy to ghost town.
No joke I was just there in October
I love this place. Its so weird. Even weirder at christmas time
Love Solvang but last time I was there I broke my foot!
TIKI? OH YESSS😍🤪
Ha! We just went to Helen, GA last week. It looked almost exactly the same!! Ya’ll looked cold😁😁
FANTASYLAND IN REAL LIFE!
Darn this is the one year I didn’t go. Glad you had fun
Merry Christmas Solvang 2022❤😊❤😊❤
Such a fun video 🥰
Fudge packing places… lol 😂😂😂
Have not been to Solvang in decades.
One and only stay in Solvang was at a “modern” Danish hotel, so it was akin to Ikea. So funny, nice place tho.
OMG Justin, what kind of dance is it that wins the “babes”? 😝😜😂
I need about Tree Fiddy.... tree fiddy.
Highlight there, the twerking Santa at the end
The power of the COBRA
Keeps sounding like les claypool from.primus... hilarious...😂🤩
Go in the morning. They had a parade and the stores were open.
@1:25 hold up, I thought this was a family friendly place?
Justin likes going to Solvang just to do the danish voice
If you think Danish is hard you should check out Icelandic.
Where did the tv tray come from?
I live in California.
Size 14 shoes ? Mmm 🤔
As a non American, I’m wondering who the three Danish men purchased the land from. Did native Americans sell it to them? Or was it European-Americans? And how did they come to own the land?
I thought Arne's Aebleskiver closed down?!?
I've been trying to contact him for 2 years for his Aebleskiver pan but his store, online and physical shop aren't working to contact any info for the pan he sold.
I'm going to have to try contacting the Solvang Restaurant to find if I can still get one of his pans. 🤔
ETA Went to the Restaurant's website but still can't get Arne's 9-hole Aebleskiver pan. I'm going to call them. What's up with that?
"AllyyuuuUuUule"!
You would think they make a lot of their money at Christmas time and would stay open when the town is all lit up. Missing out on a lot of business by closing down so early. Seems strange.
I hope Solvang did not Outlaw white Santa this year like Disney and Universal did.
Ally is a cutie!
This is a cool place, I'm just not a fan of the food. ✌️
Why he always screaming?
The way you're trying to imitate others accents can come across as disrespectful and mockingly to some. I'd hate to see cancel culture come after you
It so funny when he speaks Danish, nobody in Denmark would be offended by that.
@@mikkelnielsen888 I mean if nobody is offended that's great. I'd just hate to see people get so butthurt that they complain so much that he stops doing videos. If that happened I don't know what I'd so with my life lol
junky stores
I'm asking Santa for a JustinScarred plush doll and when you pull the string it says, "The ooooold west!"
