You guys are the reason I now speak English, live abroad, and work for an international company 🥹 When I was 14, I started watching your videos with Russian subtitles. Over time, I managed to understand everything you were saying without them, and now I'm pretty fluent! Forever grateful ❤️
I am a nursery practitioner and just want to say how amazing Ottie is for her age, her speech is incredible and she is so clever in all areas, her kindness and loving side really shine through her little personality, she is such a credit to you both. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas xx
I aspire for my relationship to be like yours and Alfie’s. You can just tell how much you love each other and you work so well together, as parents, partners, friends. I just love this!
To answer your question…Not me personally, but I once worked with a lady who spoke amazing English (but was French). I asked her why her English was so good and she proceeded to tell me she had been watching your videos since 2009 and you taught her!! Love you guys x
as someone who’s currently really struggling with their anxiety, i can’t tell you how much i have loved vlogmas this year. something to look forward to each day & heartwarming content makes me feel that little bit better
Question what’s the most embarrassing moment you’ve caught on camera of each other! One you’ve kept and one you never shared! Loving vlogmas getting through maternity leave x
QUESTION: If you could participate in one historical event, what would it be? QUESTION: what is one food you have seen in a film that you NEEDED TO TRY QUESTION: What's your earliest memory? QUESTION: what is one thing your parents told you that you believed your whole life until you were older and realized it was never true: ( ex backseat lights on in the car while driving was illegal)
My husband and I got inspired to start taking a yearly trip to Brighton from Canada at Christmas time because of your vlogs. We started in 2022 and this year we’re taking our 6 month old baby with us!
I gave birth during vlogust (Aug 18th), and now I get to cosy up with my 4 month old babygirl and watch vlogmas ❤️🎄 Thank you for creating the most wholesome content ✨️
You both inspired 11 year old me to start filming my life, and I realised how much I loved video production / editing. Fast forward to this year I've just graduated with a Film and TV Production degree 🥺🥺
My story is that I was watching Zoella videos when I was 13 which is what inspired me to start my own TH-cam channel with hauls and favorites videos and makeup tutorials which then turned into an obsession with cameras and film making which then led me to a film school which is where I met my now husband and now I’m 27 and a fulltime freelance videographer! So basically Zoella catapulted my entire life & career haha
When you guys were talking about how your videos have impacted your viewers’ lives, I started thinking about how you’ve impacted mine. I started watching your videos when I was 16 (I’m 25 now) and not only have you helped me improve my English (I’m from Spain AND an English teacher now) but you’ve also taught me how to do my make up and my hair (since my mum is not particularly savvy in those areas hahaha). I also feel like ever since then, my personal style has been HEAVILY influenced by yours, and I find myself buying things and later seeing you with them!
My Mum very recently passed away, she loved Christmas, making loosing her all the harder. Finding it difficult to get Christmassy but finding you guys is helping. Your Ffamily festive feels 🥰 thank you!
These vlogs are bringing me so much comfort, I put them on to decompress, my dad died a few days ago after a few traumatic weeks, he’s now gone to annoy my mum in heaven. So in amongst all the horrible sorting out and disassembling the family home, cancelling accounts and so on… I take a bath at the end of the day and put on a vlog ❤️ thank you … and sending a big hug to anyone else who’s had or in the same situation…. We will get through it 💕 xx
Hiiii! Long time watcher over here (over 10 yrs!) I just wanted to say how much I love you guys and your little family. I just got engaged last night to my boyfriend of 10 years and I felt like I needed to tell you guys since you mean a lot to me (you’re one of the first people to know so I needed to tell someone hahahah) especially in our favourite time of year! loving vlogmas I look forward to this everyday!! 🎄♥️
Okay so silent watcher here - but I had to join in with the question for this, one thing out of many i thought i wouldn't be able to do but did, is drive, I had a stroke when I was a baby and luckily I was only left with a weaker left arm, so I was worried I wouldn't be able to drive, but I adapted and I passed my test in an automatic car, third time lucky and that was in 2023 🥰🥰🥰 P.s. thank you for creating such a joyful community to be part of 🥺🥺🥺 absolutely love you guys! - Georgia x
Your videos impact people in ways you will never know. I personally find it so comforting and inspiring to see how Zoe is enjoying her life despite having anxiety. I tried betterhelp because of her and the quality of my life has improved. Seeing you laugh and enjoy your lives has motivated me to do the same. Not to allow anxiety to paralyze me. To go out and live my life.
I have watched you from I wanna say 2013/2014 when it was all blowing up with TH-camrs. At the time my anxiety was horrendous, you helped me through it. Watching your videos and then seeing you having the same struggles was a huge help for me as I could finally relate to someone else and it made me feel more normal about myself whatever that is xx
I started watching your guys videos when I was 10 years old and I’m now 20. I had bad anxiety and always felt ashamed but watching how zoe has handled hers and not let it define her has always helped me. Once I got to highschool I had a school shooting that made me go back down hill with anxiety and get anxiety attacks that would ruin the whole day. To this day when this happens the first thing I always do it watch your guys vlogs. I have always looked up to Zoe and how strong she is!
Zoe has just so accurately described what it’s like to be a self deprecating but determined person. That’s exactly how I am and hearing her talk about it has really helped it all slot into place. I started watching Zoe when I was 12, I’m now 24. I found Zoe because I too struggled with anxiety and emetophobia, and always found comfort in these videos and vlogs - like having the big sister I always wanted. In terms of the knock on effect - I remember seeing a vlogmas video where everyone went to Edinburgh for the markets and I remember thinking oh my god! Edinburgh looks so fun - specifically the Christmas tree maze (that’s so ingrained in my brain). Flash forward, I decided to study my masters in Edinburgh and met my partner who I now live with full time here. These vlogs are so much more than just videos of people doing things, it’s a community of comfort 🧡🧡🧡
I have been watching both of you since I was 11. I'm now 26. But after so many years of living in portugal (me remembering zoes first vlogging experience at 11 when she went on holiday to portugal) with inspiration from you and my UK friends. I'm moving back to the UK! My fiancé and I will be moving next year. Thank you for sharing all your memories so you can help us create our own. You two and the inspiration for many of us. And I think all of us are super grateful to have you in our lives ❤️
These vlogs light up this month for me. No Christmas movie or song puts me in such a lovely Christmassy mood as your videos, so THANK YOU for doing this ❤❤❤
I started watching you guys when I was 9/10 and now I’m 21 and still loving your videos. One of the things on my bucket list is to go to Brighton so I’ll update you guys if I ever do!!
Loved this video today!! Something I feel is quite fitting for what was spoken about at the end of the vlog was something i never thought I’d do - work in retail/around the general public. Before getting my job i had really bad social anxiety and routed high and low for jobs that allowed me to work in the background but not really finding anything close by. Then randomly my mum went into a drugstore in a local shopping centre last summer and overheard the voice of someone she knew in the past, who she knew was the manager of said store. She got chatting to them and asked if there was any vacancies, which there was as they’d just had a recruitment day the day before. A couple months later i was reluctantly starting the job, hating it but pushing myself. Over a year later im still working there and have met some of the most amazing people who i hope will stay in my life in future. Thought it was a story that was quite fitting. Loving Vlogmas this year, killing it as always xx
We (me, my husband and our two friends and their daughter) visited Brighton for the first time this year in June. We went to so many places for food and shopping after me seeing so many in your vlogs, especially the videos you did one Vlogust with your favourite spots. Hold, Dowse, Caramella, Papersmiths, Flint Owl, Dandy (loved the staff in here). We walked past the pottery painting cafe and all the things on display in the window were so cute. We're coming back in Feb next year for work - we attending the Brighton Tattoo Convention, its the first one we've ever done but super excited. We loved how Independent business focussed the town seemed to be. We're from the North East/Middlesbrough. I rewatch vlogmasses every year - I love them all.
I started watching you guys when I was probably 15? I’m nearly 24 now! Your relationship is something I always aspired to have. It is probably the healthiest relationship example I’ve seen in my life, and Alfie especially showed me the kind of things to look for and think about what I deserve in a partner. So I constantly waited for “the one” and was very picky… I didn’t get a boyfriend until nearly 3 years ago and our relationship is pretty similar to yours and I feel incredibly lucky. Zoe, I also struggle with anxiety and medical anxiety, as well. Watching how much you have achieved in life makes me want to work on my generalized anxiety, and even seeing you go through pregnancy has inspired me and makes me want to continue my dream of being a mother someday. You two are both the sweetest and have really impacted my life. You guys are a reason I vlog!! You’re there to watch when I’m lonely and I’ve grown up with you. Thank you for all you do❤️
I’d been watching Zoe’s vlogs and videos for years off and on but I distinctly remember vlogmas 2017. I had just gone through a breakup with a long term partner, I’d moved thousands of miles away from home to attend grad school, and I was just wanting something cozy to watch. Vlogmas popped up in my feed and I’ve been consistently watching ever since. Watching your vlogs has brightened my day on more than one occasion and gotten me through some of the hardest days I’ve ever had. You and Alfie have inspired me to start my own TH-cam channel (bookish of course) and as someone who used to be PAINFULLY shy and absolutely mortified to do anything even remotely public, this was huge for me! Like I bought the camera you guys used and mustered up the courage to actually DO it (even though my then roommates made fun of me for chatting to my camera). Now I am posting content on all kinds of social media platforms and doing things out of my comfort zone all the time. I’ve even moderated author panels in front of hundreds of people (ya girl used to panic at the thought of public speaking). I thank you both for being you and always inspiring me to be my genuine and best self…And for being a source of joy. This time of year has been hard for me the past few years due to family things and I love watching you guys do the festive things I miss doing. Vlogmas will always be my favorite 🫶🏼
That flinch conversation is literally me. I doubt myself with pretty much everything and then I always(most of the time) do it. The only time I won’t try or do something if my gut is telling me not to. I am very confident in some areas and then completely insecure in others.
I’m turning 25 in 2 months and decided to book a trip (never done before), because I need some time for myself and to celebrate this special age. My greatest wish was to come to Brighton and that’s all because of you guys❤️ I can’t wait to see all that you’ve shown throughout the years in person😍 You guys have been my comfort moment for years now, so thank you for still making videos because you truly help me relax during more stressful times🍀
It's so lovely seeing the life you've both built for yourselves. I've been watching since 2013 and seeing two good people experience the success you both have is lovely. Congratulations on Vlogmas guys! Hoping Mark is the guest tomorrow as vlogmas just isn't Vlogmas without Mark Ferris.
I was just talking about this the other day with my boyfriend, Alfie has an LA vlog from years ago that uses a Hoodie Allen song and to this day it still worms its way into my Spotify wrapped playlist and it never fails to make me think of not only the time I spent in California but also all the memories I associate with that time in my life when those videos came out. It’s been a privilege to watch both of you grow with each other and now with your girls. I’m usually a silent watcher but that question literally made me comment. Much love 🫶🏼
I once drew a picture of Nala and posted it to you back when I was first starting my career as a full time artist. About a year later on a random weekday evening, my phone blew up with Instagram notifications! To my surprise, Zoe had shared my drawing on her IG story and said it was her favourite artwork of Nala! It made me cry with happiness to hear how much she loved it but also at the THOUSANDS of new followers I received within hours and messages from people saying how much they loved my art and how happy they were for me that Zoe shared it 🥰 This came at a time when I was struggling with which direction to take my art and whether I should give it all up. Fast forward 6 or so years, I now have a thriving art business, have raised thousands of pounds for wildlife conservation through my art, travelled for my work, exhibited multiple times in central London, am an ambassador for big art brands & charities and have made countless friends! I watch your vlogs whilst drawing in my studio and they continue to inspire me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to you both and your followers for giving me the encouragement I needed at the time I needed it to keep going ❤
What is one thing you had in your childhood (friend /thing/tv show/ food etc) that you wish the girls could have in theirs and vice versa Or what is something you’ve brought from your childhood to theirs
I live very close to my family now in the US and love it but have recently been really motivated to relocate to the UK because of you. In need of a fresh start.
In 2013 I didn't understand what I was going through until a Zoella video came up and talk about anxiety and panic attacks. And today I barely have it or I want to say I don't have it at all! I'm feeling great and studying to become a teacher!
A friend of mine showed me Zoe’s videos when I was around 12, started following the Brit crew and learning more English. I decided to become an English teacher (I’m from the Netherlands) and during my studies I met you two when we were in a lunch cafe in Amsterdam!! Now I’ve been a teacher for some years and I’m 25 and I still get inspired by your videos to teach about UK vs US language ❤
You're the reason I went to cowfold and Brighton after I failed my degree to be a teacher in Switzerland. I learned English and fell in love with England. I'd plan to come and live and be a teacher ! Thanks for all the advice and the feels
I am loving vlogmas as usual! My question is how did all of the grandparents decide what they wanted to be called by Ottie and now Novie and Dot? Love you guys! xxxx
I constantly am watching vlogmasses on repeat throughout the year and this is my ifrst one where i can say ive been watching everyday- i cant start the next one without completeing the day beforeyou two are so comforting please know how much we all appreciate you!!!!! 🥹🩷
Silent watcher here! I’m a musician and my life is probably the exact opposite of yours, but your vlogs give me such a homey feeling, they fill that cozy hole I will always have because being a musician in a band in Portugal is synonymous with living uncomfortable 😅 I absolutely love these vlogs, every evening I try to make time to sit and cozy up and watch you guys and your family. I used to watch Zoe when I was like 16, I am now 27 and still love keeping up with you and feel so happy that you are raising two lovely beans ❤️ In a way, I experience a more “normal” life through you guys, and it makes me very very happy 🤭
You’re old house gives me so much nostalgia!! I walk past it every day on the way to college and always think of the inflatable Alfie and Sean surprised Zoe and Poppy😂😂😂
Since we’re heading into 2025 soon-- what are some of your favorite memories of 2024? And what’s something you hoped to accomplish in or a goal for 2024 that you were able to?
The thing that helps me the most when I’m anxious about doing something is I think well if someone else can do it then there shouldn’t be any reason why I can’t as we’re all humans and made up of the same things so if they can do it so can I. Thats not to say I don’t say no to things I don’t want to do, I trust my gut. That’s always helped me and I always think I’ll regret it if I don’t try! 😊
I mean I only started watching you two because of One Direction and from then you played a big part in my growing love for the UK and that's why I spend my study abroad year in England :)
I introduced yours, Alfie and Joes video to my niece when she was a kid. She’s now 19 (almost) and we still watch you all and text each other about watching your videos! (I’m 27 and have been watching you all from the start) ❤
You're the reason I spent 3 weeks in Brighton one summer to perfect my English (I'm from Spain) and after that I ended up living in the UK for 5 years 🥹
i started watching you when i was in year 11 at school and im now 27 and still so invested to the point I sometimes forget that we’re not real life friends
I started watching when I was 12 in 2012, first video of yours I saw was a primark haul, then I got into the videos of the whole Brit gang. I still have my “Sorry about my hair” merch beanie from Alfie and my girl online book which I was OBSESSED with
Zoe and Alfie talking about wanting dressing gowns for Christmas and saying that’s when you know we’re getting old. I was like that was me last year asking for socks.
You guys are one of the main reasons I wanted to move to Brighton at some point and I then got into a drama school there and lived there for 3 years and met my friends for life there too🤍
Question! How do you plan on managing your children's internet/phone/social media use in the future? When are you gonna buy them their first phone? Just wondering as I'm discussing it heavily with my friends. ❤ Loving vlogmas btw
You guys are the reason I now speak English, live abroad, and work for an international company 🥹
When I was 14, I started watching your videos with Russian subtitles. Over time, I managed to understand everything you were saying without them, and now I'm pretty fluent! Forever grateful ❤️
Novie’s obsession with the word “Wow” is so cute 😂
Omg old house 😭🫶🏻 18:05
I still sometimes watch old vlogmases that were filmed there
I am a nursery practitioner and just want to say how amazing Ottie is for her age, her speech is incredible and she is so clever in all areas, her kindness and loving side really shine through her little personality, she is such a credit to you both. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas xx
✨you should leave a disposable camera with Ottie when she has sleepovers to document her moments away…fun surprise to develop
Don't want joe to see the comments.......😂......*whispers* get him a telescope. He was saying he wanted one in one of his vids the other day xxx
I aspire for my relationship to be like yours and Alfie’s. You can just tell how much you love each other and you work so well together, as parents, partners, friends. I just love this!
To answer your question…Not me personally, but I once worked with a lady who spoke amazing English (but was French). I asked her why her English was so good and she proceeded to tell me she had been watching your videos since 2009 and you taught her!! Love you guys x
I never want Novie to outgrow her adorable "WOWW" 😍
I felt Zoe became more confident when mark came into her life. 👦🏻👩🏼 bff I love their friendship
as someone who’s currently really struggling with their anxiety, i can’t tell you how much i have loved vlogmas this year. something to look forward to each day & heartwarming content makes me feel that little bit better
Question what’s the most embarrassing moment you’ve caught on camera of each other! One you’ve kept and one you never shared! Loving vlogmas getting through maternity leave x
QUESTION: If you could participate in one historical event, what would it be?

My husband and I got inspired to start taking a yearly trip to Brighton from Canada at Christmas time because of your vlogs. We started in 2022 and this year we’re taking our 6 month old baby with us!
I gave birth during vlogust (Aug 18th), and now I get to cosy up with my 4 month old babygirl and watch vlogmas ❤️🎄 Thank you for creating the most wholesome content ✨️
You both inspired 11 year old me to start filming my life, and I realised how much I loved video production / editing. Fast forward to this year I've just graduated with a Film and TV Production degree 🥺🥺
I'm Brazilian and I've started to watch these videos to practice English and now I'm legit doing a PhD in English Literature with a Zoe accent 😅
I started watching you guys when I was 8. I’m 19 now. You and Alfie have literally, in a way, raised me. And I can’t thank you enough for it ❤
My story is that I was watching Zoella videos when I was 13 which is what inspired me to start my own TH-cam channel with hauls and favorites videos and makeup tutorials which then turned into an obsession with cameras and film making which then led me to a film school which is where I met my now husband and now I’m 27 and a fulltime freelance videographer! So basically Zoella catapulted my entire life & career haha
Hi Zoe and Alfie!! Currently sitting fighting the worst illness I’ve had in months and this has absolutely turned my day around. Thank you guys 🤍
Get well soon
I’ve started whispering *gasp* wooooow on the daily now 😂
I look forward to seeing you on The Repair Shop with the clock
one of my fav parts are when you talk to ottie about your day :) makes me want to do that with my kids in the future ❤
I love your new words guys ‘WHAAAT’ and ‘’Oh WOW’ 😂
Tracey needs her own vlog!! We want her secrets of how to look sooo good!! ❤
Everyday this is the thing I look forward to as my moment of calm. Thank you for along my December. I wish vlogmas would last forever
I hope they have a day where Zoe and Mark exchange gifts!! It is one of my most favourite things to watch!! ❤

Hiiii! Long time watcher over here (over 10 yrs!) I just wanted to say how much I love you guys and your little family.

We went to so many places for food and shopping after me seeing so many in your vlogs, especially the videos you did one Vlogust with your favourite spots.

You should try the mighty pimple patches they are honestly the best xx
Hello. I’m loving watching vlogmus. It’s getting me through my first 3 weeks of being a new mum. Seeing you little family brings be joy and excitment
I’m turning 25 in 2 months and decided to book a trip (never done before), because I need some time for myself and to celebrate this special age. My greatest wish was to come to Brighton and that’s all because of you guys❤️ I can’t wait to see all that you’ve shown throughout the years in person😍
You guys have been my comfort moment for years now, so thank you for still making videos because you truly help me relax during more stressful times🍀
It's so lovely seeing the life you've both built for yourselves. I've been watching since 2013 and seeing two good people experience the success you both have is lovely. Congratulations on Vlogmas guys! Hoping Mark is the guest tomorrow as vlogmas just isn't Vlogmas without Mark Ferris.
I was just talking about this the other day with my boyfriend, Alfie has an LA vlog from years ago that uses a Hoodie Allen song and to this day it still worms its way into my Spotify wrapped playlist and it never fails to make me think of not only the time I spent in California but also all the memories I associate with that time in my life when those videos came out. It’s been a privilege to watch both of you grow with each other and now with your girls. I’m usually a silent watcher but that question literally made me comment. Much love 🫶🏼
I once drew a picture of Nala and posted it to you back when I was first starting my career as a full time artist. About a year later on a random weekday evening, my phone blew up with Instagram notifications! To my surprise, Zoe had shared my drawing on her IG story and said it was her favourite artwork of Nala! It made me cry with happiness to hear how much she loved it but also at the THOUSANDS of new followers I received within hours and messages from people saying how much they loved my art and how happy they were for me that Zoe shared it 🥰 This came at a time when I was struggling with which direction to take my art and whether I should give it all up. Fast forward 6 or so years, I now have a thriving art business, have raised thousands of pounds for wildlife conservation through my art, travelled for my work, exhibited multiple times in central London, am an ambassador for big art brands & charities and have made countless friends! I watch your vlogs whilst drawing in my studio and they continue to inspire me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to you both and your followers for giving me the encouragement I needed at the time I needed it to keep going ❤
What is one thing you had in your childhood (friend /thing/tv show/ food etc) that you wish the girls could have in theirs and vice versa
Or what is something you’ve brought from your childhood to theirs
She says wow like that because of how magical you two make her life 💖
I live very close to my family now in the US and love it but have recently been really motivated to relocate to the UK because of you. In need of a fresh start.
Tracy reminds me SO much of my mom & it makes me so excited to have babies one day for my mom to be a Nanny like Tracy 🥲🫶🏻
Your new tree looks amazing, "spruce" the whole room , lol !! Thanks for all the effort to make these amazing videos !!
In 2013 I didn't understand what I was going through until a Zoella video came up and talk about anxiety and panic attacks. And today I barely have it or I want to say I don't have it at all! I'm feeling great and studying to become a teacher!
A friend of mine showed me Zoe’s videos when I was around 12, started following the Brit crew and learning more English. I decided to become an English teacher (I’m from the Netherlands) and during my studies I met you two when we were in a lunch cafe in Amsterdam!! Now I’ve been a teacher for some years and I’m 25 and I still get inspired by your videos to teach about UK vs US language ❤
You're the reason I went to cowfold and Brighton after I failed my degree to be a teacher in Switzerland. I learned English and fell in love with England. I'd plan to come and live and be a teacher ! Thanks for all the advice and the feels
Bigging Up toms sandwich....
Never showed us 😢
I am loving vlogmas as usual! My question is how did all of the grandparents decide what they wanted to be called by Ottie and now Novie and Dot?
Love you guys! xxxx
Maybe Santa will bring you a new clock
I constantly am watching vlogmasses on repeat throughout the year and this is my ifrst one where i can say ive been watching everyday- i cant start the next one without completeing the day beforeyou two are so comforting please know how much we all appreciate you!!!!! 🥹🩷
Silent watcher here! I’m a musician and my life is probably the exact opposite of yours, but your vlogs give me such a homey feeling, they fill that cozy hole I will always have because being a musician in a band in Portugal is synonymous with living uncomfortable 😅 I absolutely love these vlogs, every evening I try to make time to sit and cozy up and watch you guys and your family. I used to watch Zoe when I was like 16, I am now 27 and still love keeping up with you and feel so happy that you are raising two lovely beans ❤️ In a way, I experience a more “normal” life through you guys, and it makes me very very happy 🤭
You’re old house gives me so much nostalgia!! I walk past it every day on the way to college and always think of the inflatable Alfie and Sean surprised Zoe and Poppy😂😂😂
Since we’re heading into 2025 soon-- what are some of your favorite memories of 2024? And what’s something you hoped to accomplish in or a goal for 2024 that you were able to?
yes babe, i started watching you guys in middle school, so around like 11/12 years old and now im 25!!
if you could live any day through the eyes of Ottie or Novie which day would you choose?? :)
Novie & the elf is so precious 🥹
Novie's WAHHHH is so adorable.
Heres a question:
If you had to direct a movie about You, Alfie and Mark who would you cast to play you guys?
Coming to Brighton is on my bucket list! Currently living in America, but one day I want to visit
I've also asked for a dressing gown for Christmas 😂
The thing that helps me the most when I’m anxious about doing something is I think well if someone else can do it then there shouldn’t be any reason why I can’t as we’re all humans and made up of the same things so if they can do it so can I. Thats not to say I don’t say no to things I don’t want to do, I trust my gut. That’s always helped me and I always think I’ll regret it if I don’t try! 😊
I mean I only started watching you two because of One Direction and from then you played a big part in my growing love for the UK and that's why I spend my study abroad year in England :)
I introduced yours, Alfie and Joes video to my niece when she was a kid. She’s now 19 (almost) and we still watch you all and text each other about watching your videos!
(I’m 27 and have been watching you all from the start) ❤
Can’t wait to watch this vlog , loving Vlogmas so much Zoe thank you for being a huge inspiration to me ❤❤❤
best time of day!!
I asked for a vacuum so I’m officially old too lol 😂
Perfectly comes on at my lunch break! ❤
zoe saying who know like I dont remember Nala's first day like it was yesterday
Question: If you had to spend Christmas anywhere else in the world where would it be and why?
You're the reason I spent 3 weeks in Brighton one summer to perfect my English (I'm from Spain) and after that I ended up living in the UK for 5 years 🥹
What would we do without these videos 🥺
the fact that I recognize the old house 🥲😍I don't want the vlogmas to be over !!!
i started watching you when i was in year 11 at school and im now 27 and still so invested to the point I sometimes forget that we’re not real life friends
Instantly relaxed for the evening 😍
I’ve started vlogging and I’ve done several vlogmas’es but they are not public. Just for the fam and we love to watch them! The kids also love it😍
I love that the vlog always ends in laughing. It makes my day 🫶
i’ve been ill the last couple of days and these have been so comforting!
I started watching when I was 12 in 2012, first video of yours I saw was a primark haul, then I got into the videos of the whole Brit gang. I still have my “Sorry about my hair” merch beanie from Alfie and my girl online book which I was OBSESSED with
I work in a pottery painting studio and we do all the hand and foot prints for you! We also do clay impressions and they're always so cute
I went to Brighton Uni, got a degree and MA in marketing and met my boyfriend there all because of your videos ❤xxx
43:49 it’s like nostalgic self doubt I get it especially your example of a restaurant 🤣x
I have been very influenced to buy a Norway Spruce this year for Xmas!!!
Zoe and Alfie talking about wanting dressing gowns for Christmas and saying that’s when you know we’re getting old. I was like that was me last year asking for socks.
You guys are one of the main reasons I wanted to move to Brighton at some point and I then got into a drama school there and lived there for 3 years and met my friends for life there too🤍
Question! How do you plan on managing your children's internet/phone/social media use in the future? When are you gonna buy them their first phone? Just wondering as I'm discussing it heavily with my friends. ❤ Loving vlogmas btw
