Absolutely love the Muppets Christmas Carol! Watched it for the first time last year and absolutely love it! It’s also quite creepy in parts which I also love!
Lovely vlog, sounds like you’ve had a really good run up towards Christmas, I love pheasants at this time of year we have between ten-twenty coming for food everyday, more males than females but all beautiful, they really are a silly bird though instead of keeping quiet when the take off the cawking noise they make alerts the guns, very sad but they’re safe here on our land. Hope you had a fabulous Christmas 🎄🐭🐇🌲
i love spode 🍽 reminds me of my grandparents and visits to the potteries in stoke. i did my dissertation on antony gormley, so i love the angel ✨️🎄 another beautiful video. i must visit york! wishing happy xmas to you, ben, and cats 🐈⬛️ x 🐁
I have to say that I used to dislike "When Love is Gone," but I've really come around to it in the last few years. When old Scrooge starts singing along behind Belle I start getting teary-eyed. Lovely video! Merry Christmas!
I love it when you gush about York, makes me want to visit someday!!! 🎄✨🥰 Awww that mousestery sounds amazing! 🐁🐭🧐 I would go for the overly complicated plot too, clearly, I listen to too much true crime!!! 😅
🎄The Christmas tree has always been my favourite part of the holidays. We chop ours down ourselves and decorate it with mostly homemade decorations. Brings me so much joy! Loved this video. 🎄🎄🎄Off to watch the decorating one!
I started collecting the Spode Christmas Tree crockery a few years ago! Always worth a look in the sales, my mum often gets me bits in January for my Birthday in April! TKMax also sells it at Christmas time! My husband and I always come and stay in York at Christmas time, it's just so magical! We will have to add the Christmas Tree festival to our visit next year!
Hope you had a merry Christmas! As a york girl, I absolutely love how much you adore the city. I can tell you it's pronounced jillygate. And I also love your bookshelf 😅 ❤ 🎄
🐭🎄🐁 Merry Christmas from Canada. To Claire and Ben and the cats too. Try tourteire which is a Canadian meat pie that is enjoyed during the holidays and for a chocolatey treat, Nanaimo bars.
Omg that mouse mystery is sooooooo cute I can’t stand it! A mouse with a fig leaf?!!! Get out! This was delightful and cozy Claire. Merry Christmas. 🎄 🐁 ❤
I always watch Muppets Christmas Carol when decorating my Christmas 🎄 it’s such a fab film. Your cushion made me smile. I have the Christmas Tree by Spode too. Slowly building up a collection. It’s lovely to bring out each year. Hope you have had a lovely Christmas 🐭

I loved this visit with you! I want to come to York, have a cup of chocolate, solve the Mouse mystery and see the Alice exhibit (oh my goodness!). I want to watch the Muppet Christmas Carole this afternoon, which I surely can and will do. This was just so cozy and lovely! Merry Christmas to you and Ben! ☕🫖🎄🐭❤
Merry Christmas from Rhode Island, USA, we watched The Muppets Christmas Carol last night ( as we do every year) and I also have the Spode dinner ware, and have loved using it for the past 30 years! Lovely video, thank you 🎄
🐭 Such a beautiful vlog Claire. York is so beautiful and magical .. even more so at Christmas. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful Christmas treasures … oh that mouse!! What a wonderful event at Fairfax .. I’d love that so much. Merry Christmas to you, Ben and the kitties. 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
What a beautiful, cosy video! All the best to you and Ben this Holiday season, Claire! 🎄🐁 As a native of the Land of Poutine (Quebec, Canada), I always find it entertaining to see other people's reaction to this rather unaesthetic dish. I'm glad you enjoyed it and will get to experience it "in situ" soon!
It's funny because chips and gravy and/or cheesy chips are big in the north too so I'm just surprised we don't combine them more often! I think this was my first time trying cheese curds though 🧀
Thank you Claire. This brought back great memories of visiting York last year and reminded me that we need to visit again. Happy Christmas to you and Ben and a great new year ❤❤❤🌲🌲🌲
I currently live outside of the UK, but every year I come back to visit the places I couldn’t or didn’t have enough time to when I was living in Wales as a very poor student and for 2025 my plan is to visit the Brontë parsonage and York, so this is making me feel very excited!
Beautiful video! I loved that production of Brideshead Revisited; so well-cast! I’ve never seen the Muppets version of A Christmas Carol, but I keep hearing about it this year. You have me so wanting to visit York! Merry Christmas from California (SF Bay Area)! 🎄☃️ 🐁
🎄🐭Totally agree Claire. When I watched our DVD version and When Love is Gone was missing I was gutted. Shows we’re true fans. My original was on video because I’m much older than you. 😂Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas. x
Just came across your channel. You’re a delight and you’re doing York proud. X ps 🎄🐁
Catching up on this to stave off the January blues, what an absolutely charming and heartwarming video! 🎄🐭
