As someone who only recently discovered you and your channel, I just want to say that I really admire you. You seem so self-aware and always working to improve yourself, and you don’t let setbacks define you or your career. Your voice, both speaking and singing, makes me feel very cozy and at home-a place I can take refuge in when things are bad. You instill a calmness inside me that I don’t really know how to describe, but it makes me feel capable and ready to face whatever comes next. Your videos are a place for me to go when the world is high-strung and busy and crazy, and I just need a safe space. Thank you for being my safe space, and I can’t wait to see all the things you’re going to do next.
I feel exactly the same as you when watching her videos, I completely whole heartedly agree, Carrie brings such a calm atmosphere even through screen that feels like I can just be myself xxx
I got casted as Eponine in my school play and it's so encouraging to see someone make there dreams come true in an industry which seems almost impossible to play a dream roll. My dream is to play Eponine hopefully i'll see you in the west end.
The warm up is everything I miss about being a silly, nerdy choir kid in school and I just burst into tears. School sucked for me and choir was my happy place and gosh I love you for including us in that spirit a little.
Shan is such a beautiful soul, I love your secret santa gifts, and the love in Oliver's eyes at new years made my heart explode. I love seeing you surrounded by such wonderful people, its great
Also tag yourself: I’m the girl when it rings New Years she is standing while everyone else is either hugging or kissing and she becomes the epic 9th wheel😂
I have a long term boyfriend and I've still ended up being that person at a NYE party because he gets whisked away by all his drunk pals and I'm too much of an introvert to initiate hugs and kisses with everyone - I related to that lass so hard! haha
Hearing you sing “we wish you a merry Christmas” while the audience cheered gave me chills for some reason and made me feel so festive even though I didn’t feel very festive this year.
I’ve been watching you for years now, and I want to say I love the changes you’ve made with your life. In years past you would have shared every bit of every day... including Christmas Day with your family... I admire you for making changes to keep parts of your life private. You seem so much happier and at peace with yourself in the past months. Bravo to you for making yourself a priority, and what a great example to others. Merry Christmas and happy 2020! Best wishes for all that is yet to come.
I had a bit of a panic attack hearing Eponine singing in the background. I was like, "oh she missed her entrance... wait... if she missed her entrance she wouldn't be singing... RIGHT, SHE ISN'T EPONINE ANYMORE!" I love love love being able to watch her career like this. It warms my heart.
i was the first prisoner (as well as joly) in my production of les mis and hearing the very beginning of look down while you were talking about your dressing room made me ~anxious~ and i’m laughing
I adore Matt Lucas, I'm such a big admirer of his work. I met him at stage door after the concert version of Les Mis and he was really lovely to everyone, came down to stage door just to greet fans.
I would just like to say thank you to you, Carrie. I’ve met you twice at stage door and both times you have been so lovely, you’ve taken selfies with me, and signed my programme and it means so much, you took time to talk to me even after a long show and I’m so grateful, you helped make the 27th December an amazing night ❤️
I'd just like to say that I've been watching your videos for years and it's so wonderful to see you look happy and thriving. I saw the concert performance in the cinema and it was beautiful. Thank you for your art and positivity!
when i saw you in les misérables i was balling my eyes out when you were singing i adore your voice so much🥺 i love you! keep being you and keep up the good work!! :)
This vlog is my happy space! I have seen it countless times, and will probably see it countless more. I adore Christmas (I have around 7 trees) and am a production stage manager. Everything about this vlog is perfect... down to the wallpaper in the dressing room! Thank you!
I am rewatching all your videos and that kiss! Miss fletcher you have yourself a good man. That kiss looked like one you’d see in a romcom at the end when the two leads finally get together on New Years and share their first unforgettable kiss. Slow but sensual and passionate and full of the purest love. Simply beautiful 🥰
It feels unreal that you’re vlogging on the 23rd when I saw you in Les Mis (and met you at stage door thanks so much for coming out!! I went away and had a little cry afterwards I was so happy) it was the best Christmas present ever :)
Such a lovely update! Thank you for finding the time to do these vlogs! Happy and healthy New Years to you, Oliver, friends and family! So glad I found your channel, It just makes me happy-full stop! xo
Carrie i have to say (although I'm bias because I love and adore you with every fibre of my being) or (may the fact I've watched every video over the years twice over) there's something about a new video that makes me feel like I can breathe out, I think I stress and overthink so much in daily life than when I watch one of your new videos it's like I immediately relax, breathe properly, focus on positivity and just fall in love all over again, thank you for just being you! You don't understand how much it means xxxx
The ridiculous thing I thought watching you bake was: omg I forgot to poke holes in the top of my mince pies this year (which I made a few days before Christmas). But then I remembered I had used star cutters for the tops this time and they had pre-made vents. Talk about belated panic. Thanks for sharing your holidays with us.
Absolutely loved this vlog! It reminded me once again why I once described your channel as a safe space sort of thing :) Your content always cheers me up and I really need that from time to time haha Keep doing you, it suits you! xx
I really hope this doesn't come across as creepy but the way Ollie looked at you and kissed you melted my heart! I absolutely love how in love you guys are and it makes me happy and believe in real love. You two are so beautiful together
Omg Carrie, I saw you perform twice the week of this video - Dec 23rd and then again on the 27th. I was traveling to London/Paris from the US, and the first show was SO captivating (I cried an embarrassing amount) that I bought a super last minute ticket on the 27th, literally on the train back from Paris! I made it to the Sondheim maybe two hours after hopping off the EuroStar, and the frenzied run was totally worth it! You were super sweet and kind to all the fans and it totally made my day to get a picture with you after the show. I just came across this video and it filled my heart with so much joy reminiscing about my last pre-Covid travels!
As fun as it is to be in a show, I'd be super bummed to work the day before and after Christmas. Theatre performers are so tough. I always take a couple days to literally just sleep or play a video game with my sisters.
The kiss yourself and Ollie share is so intimate and beautiful thank you for all doing us to see real love. I wish you all the best for this new decade as I am sure your hard work and dedication is going to get you even farther in life x
Hello Carrie--Please allow me to extend an official 'thank you': Dear lord, that millionaire shortbread is hands down amazing. I had never heard of it before (I'm from the US) but watching a vlog where you shared it with the shortbread-loving cast of Heathers made me think that this was the bar cookie to break out for Christmas. I went along with a few recipes before I found what I hoped would work and sent it off as a gift for neighbors, co-workers, family etc. The result was amazing. People were singing my praises in all caps, I had to hide the boxes from my kids, and I still have neighbors just yesterday coming by to say how much they loved it. "I think it's popular in the UK" I told everyone. "A really wonderful artist shared it on her vlog." Thanks so much and have the happiest of new years!
17:27. Everyone saying happy new year Oliver and Carrie kissing. I do love an actor/actress relationship I find that it’s easy to understand what both of you go through if it’s in the same sort of job
I honestly adore everything about you especially your positivity. I’ve never put a comment on UA-cam before but thought it was needed . I went to Italia conti and everyone in my class have always been obsessed with your honesty about theatre Arts and just genuinely being a nice person. Never change the person you are because you are Marvellous.
I had the 25th anniversary production of Les Mis taped on tv during Christmas so all my family could watch it (personally I've seen the show 3 times in Newcastle), so even when you were showing your dressing room, I couldn't help singing along to Look Down in my head haha :)
I love the fact that you have to peel the potatoes. I cannot wait to come and watch the full production again. Thank you for bringing us all along for the Christmas build up. Keep doing your magic, you are truly amazing! 💙💙
I appreciate so much that you did this Video Carrie! So much to do, so so so buisy, so much power yet and STILL the energy to take us with you and let us be a part of your world. That is really tough and i am so thankful you did it! I would absolutely understand, If you would skip the Video editing Thing - still a load of work - but you Made me really Happy with this!! I love to follow a real and inspiring Person with more in Life than UA-cam! So much more! Thank you Carrie!
I'm sat listening to this and my husband turned and just said she was at her brothers last Christmas I think ... He's been watching your videos I think and I've never been so proud/happy I'll make a hopefull out of him 😅I've been watching since I was maybe 12/13 aha
I only started watching your videos a couple of months ago but in that time you have inspired me to want a job in theatre and west end performing. Thank you for being a vlogger love from every fan of yours ever 😘 xx
Omg my heart the way oliver kissed carrie and the way he looked at her. My heart exploded.
Oh girl, same, i almost cried a bit i have to be honest with you hahaha THEY ARE TOO ADORABLE
SAME!
17:29 :3
Made me feel things bro!!
i hope scott knows i would die for him
Find someone who looks at you the way Oli looks at Carrie😍
Lauren Jones I would never XD
I could never
"Post-mortem treat" is iconic phrasing 🙌
Put that on a tshirt

This is such a lovely kind hearted comment! You didn't have to take the time to tell me that but you did and I really appreciate it!
She really is an incredible soul
I feel exactly the same as you when watching her videos, I completely whole heartedly agree, Carrie brings such a calm atmosphere even through screen that feels like I can just be myself xxx
Kayla Jordan You’ve summed up how I feel about these videos beautifully
this is how i feel about her videos she’s really just such an incredible amazing person inside and out 🥺❤️
The kiss that you and Oliver shared was so pure and beautiful. I love this vlog entirely.
Whoever sang “It’s hot as hell below” at 1:48 has a gorgeous gorgeous voice ❤️❤️❤️
Oh my😍 you're not wrong
Also Shan’s “IT’SSSS JAVERTTTTTTTT !!” Sounds so wonderful. I just love hearing lil parts of the show in the background x
How sweet is Shan? Her kindness made me really happy. She seems absolutely wonderful!
She gets me through.
I love how your costumes have been blue for the past couple productions you've been in. Clearly blue is just your colour, it really suits you
When Oliver kissed you for so long and then kissed you again after looking at you lovingly
Made me feel things 🥺
That new year’s kiss though 😍😍😍
It was so magical 😍✨✨😊
wasn't expecting it to last that long
It was so magical
I got casted as Eponine in my school play and it's so encouraging to see someone make there dreams come true in an industry which seems almost impossible to play a dream roll. My dream is to play Eponine hopefully i'll see you in the west end.

Shan is such a beautiful soul, I love your secret santa gifts, and the love in Oliver's eyes at new years made my heart explode. I love seeing you surrounded by such wonderful people, its great
when shan said 'continue to shine your light'
was it a heathers reference?!
That's what I thought!
My first thought was HEATHERS!!!!!!!!
I’m assuming not,it was just her appreciation her friend and just saying how Carrie was a light to her and others!
Can we appreciate Carrie going to find oli at the end of the video. It was so cute
Carrie rushing to find Ollie with 4 seconds to spare gives me life
Also tag yourself:
I’m the girl when it rings New Years she is standing while everyone else is either hugging or kissing and she becomes the epic 9th wheel😂
I'm Carrie's Christmas outfit.
I was just thinking the same thing, 9th wheeling so hard!!!
I have a long term boyfriend and I've still ended up being that person at a NYE party because he gets whisked away by all his drunk pals and I'm too much of an introvert to initiate hugs and kisses with everyone - I related to that lass so hard! haha
Can i just say though you stood beautifully 😉
I don't even stay up for New Years, I go to bed at 11:00 at the latest on New Years Eve and wake up and crap, it's 2021 or whatever
6:17 "I'm Jewish and I know this one!!" Yesssss looking forward to more important Jon Robyns content!! :D
You left something unanswered, and that’s all I’m wondering after the video.
Did Bradley Jaden like your secret Santa present? 🎁
Haha yes he did but it took him AGES to figure out it was me!
I thought it was cool that one of my favourites was secret Santa for my other favourite!
I would LOVE to spend my Christmas being in a show on the west end 😍
YOU AND OLIVER I CANNOT STOP GRINNING
Hearing you sing “we wish you a merry Christmas” while the audience cheered gave me chills for some reason and made me feel so festive even though I didn’t feel very festive this year.
OMG I know right!!!!
Scott’s entry to the new decade was iconic.
I’ve been watching you for years now, and I want to say I love the changes you’ve made with your life.

Ugh I missed so much this content because I love the behind the scenes of theatre shows ♥️ I love it so much you have no idea ♥️
Carrie and Oliver are literally the sweetest couple EVER!!!! sending love from texas :)
Me, too!
Wow, that kiss took me back to when I seen you both on stage during Addams Family! Magical then, magical now🥰
Can I just say- your Christmas Day makeup is amazing. So beautiful. I love the eyeshadow!!
I adore Matt Lucas, I'm such a big admirer of his work. I met him at stage door after the concert version of Les Mis and he was really lovely to everyone, came down to stage door just to greet fans.
That kiss at the end! 🥺 I LOVE LOVE!!
Cuties ❤️

Perfect timing for the "IT'S JAVART!" ROTFL
I truly had a moment at the beginning of the video where I thought “wait, that’s Eponines part why isn’t she on?” 😂
Just love seeing you and Olie have a New Year snog at the end ,just makes me feel so happy for you guys 💋🎉❤️🇦🇺
I'd just like to say that I've been watching your videos for years and it's so wonderful to see you look happy and thriving. I saw the concert performance in the cinema and it was beautiful. Thank you for your art and positivity!

Love Scott immediately singing ABBA after the countdown 😂

I get to dream myself away, acting is still my dream job, when you bring us to your work. Missing acting soooo much
Such a lovely update! Thank you for finding the time to do these vlogs! Happy and healthy New Years to you, Oliver, friends and family! So glad I found your channel, It just makes me happy-full stop! xo
I'd love to spend my Christmas working in a show. Happy new year Carrie
So true, acting, front and f house, back stage ANYTHING theatre. It's the life
I mean COME ON that kiss at the end? GOALS
Carrie i have to say (although I'm bias because I love and adore you with every fibre of my being) or (may the fact I've watched every video over the years twice over) there's something about a new video that makes me feel like I can breathe out, I think I stress and overthink so much in daily life than when I watch one of your new videos it's like I immediately relax, breathe properly, focus on positivity and just fall in love all over again, thank you for just being you! You don't understand how much it means xxxx
Carrie rushing to find Oliver before 4 seconds is. The cutest thing you will ever see
The ridiculous thing I thought watching you bake was: omg I forgot to poke holes in the top of my mince pies this year (which I made a few days before Christmas). But then I remembered I had used star cutters for the tops this time and they had pre-made vents. Talk about belated panic.
Thanks for sharing your holidays with us.
I'm very excited because for Christmas I got tickets to see this production of les mis! I'm so excited to see you in it!
My dad told me about u he’s directing u in this and I watched a few of ur vids now I’m in love. Congrats on this show I can’t wait to see it 💓
That kiss from Oli at the end was the sweetest and most passionate thing I've seen. I'm glad that you found each other!!
a snippet of carrie singing and she and oliver having a new years kiss?love to see it
So looking forward to seeing the show in July! I love Les Miserables it's an amazing show.
I watched DONT f with cats and my gosh it’s emotional. Intriguing. And scary all at the same time! Thanks for recommending Carrie! ❤️
Absolutely loved this vlog! It reminded me once again why I once described your channel as a safe space sort of thing :)
Your content always cheers me up and I really need that from time to time haha
Keep doing you, it suits you! xx
Are you kidding, Carrie?! Potatoes are EVERYTHING!! 😋🥰
(Are they real? Can you eat them afterward? 🤔)
According to her Instagram story, no they’re not real.
@@RosyRosie42 that is so sad😢
I really hope this doesn't come across as creepy but the way Ollie looked at you and kissed you melted my heart! I absolutely love how in love you guys are and it makes me happy and believe in real love. You two are so beautiful together
This was such a lovely video! The joy on your face (particularly when you're in your dressing room) is incredible!
Omg Carrie, I saw you perform twice the week of this video - Dec 23rd and then again on the 27th. I was traveling to London/Paris from the US, and the first show was SO captivating (I cried an embarrassing amount) that I bought a super last minute ticket on the 27th, literally on the train back from Paris!

I just came across this video and it filled my heart with so much joy reminiscing about my last pre-Covid travels!
I absoloutely need to plan a trip to come and see Les Mis.
The ending of this video was so beautiful. I hope you and Oli have a wonderful 2020! 😍❤
It makes me so so happy that I watched the 23rd of December performance!!! Matt Lucas was honestly incredible and obviously SO WERE YOU CARRIE AHHHH
As fun as it is to be in a show, I'd be super bummed to work the day before and after Christmas. Theatre performers are so tough. I always take a couple days to literally just sleep or play a video game with my sisters.
The kiss yourself and Ollie share is so intimate and beautiful thank you for all doing us to see real love. I wish you all the best for this new decade as I am sure your hard work and dedication is going to get you even farther in life x
Tag yourself: I’m Carries friend at New Years just taking a video and drinking while everyone else partners up😂😂

Such a great vlog, I love when you're in a show bc you create more content! You seem so happy and light!
I would absolutely *love* to see you in anything on stage! Being in Canada with no money to travel makes this difficult though! Lol
I’m going to see it on my birthday!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhh so excited
I love your videos Carrie, I remember going to see you in the Adams family. Honestly thank you for being yourself! You are incredible!
Happy New Year! What a delightful video; you seem very happy ☺️
8:20 "Post mortem treat" omg 😂😂😂
I absolutely LOVE the blue Fantine dress! It's absolute gorgeous and you're rocking it!!!
Right ladies, find yourself someone who looks at you the way Oliver looks at Carrie. Oh my goodness, the feels. 💙
17:27. Everyone saying happy new year
Oliver and Carrie kissing.
I do love an actor/actress relationship I find that it’s easy to understand what both of you go through if it’s in the same sort of job
you have no idea how lovely it is to see you back at les mis you ae truly never getting rid of this show x
You started singing I dreamed a dream and instantly tears came to my eyes!!! Instant tear jerker!
Speaking of getting your shit together, I heard of bullet journaling through you years ago and now that's how I keep my shit together. So thanks man
i love how the running around the table game has become tradition now
Anyone who doesn’t know that Fantine dies, should not be watching this! Jokes 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ohhhh you and Ollie at midnight nearly had me weeping 😭😍
Saving my Xmas money to see this again!😍
I think the traditional Fantine costume will look great on her.
Can I just say I'm in love with the tiles in your kitchen!
I honestly adore everything about you especially your positivity. I’ve never put a comment on UA-cam before but thought it was needed . I went to Italia conti and everyone in my class have always been obsessed with your honesty about theatre Arts and just genuinely being a nice person. Never change the person you are because you are Marvellous.
You are stun without makeup Carrie ❤️
I had the 25th anniversary production of Les Mis taped on tv during Christmas so all my family could watch it (personally I've seen the show 3 times in Newcastle), so even when you were showing your dressing room, I couldn't help singing along to Look Down in my head haha :)
To you wonderful, beautiful, amazing human being reading this, happy new year! Go fourth and smash it! I know you can. ✨❤
wow i needed to fan myself after that new years kiss.
I love the fact that you have to peel the potatoes. I cannot wait to come and watch the full production again.
Thank you for bringing us all along for the Christmas build up. Keep doing your magic, you are truly amazing! 💙💙
Watching this in the middle of June. Makes me so happy. 🤣
I appreciate so much that you did this Video Carrie! So much to do, so so so buisy, so much power yet and STILL the energy to take us with you and let us be a part of your world. That is really tough and i am so thankful you did it! I would absolutely understand, If you would skip the Video editing Thing - still a load of work - but you Made me really Happy with this!! I love to follow a real and inspiring Person with more in Life than UA-cam! So much more! Thank you Carrie!
Great video!!! I loved the All I Want for Christmas part (full cover please?😍)
Also, I can‘t believe we‘ve got the same phonecase😁
Love to know that you are doing well Carrie and are in a good and happy place xxx
I'm sat listening to this and my husband turned and just said she was at her brothers last Christmas I think ... He's been watching your videos I think and I've never been so proud/happy I'll make a hopefull out of him 😅I've been watching since I was maybe 12/13 aha
I only started watching your videos a couple of months ago but in that time you have inspired me to want a job in theatre and west end performing. Thank you for being a vlogger love from every fan of yours ever 😘 xx
