I love the doorman. He is hilarious 😆’Love Life’ ❤️ Wonderful attitude!
I love the doorman as well. Very friendly. Nice smile.
He's so cute
This vlog is awesome and you guys are amazing! I loved the shopping tour of Harrod's. You cracked me up when you started greeting customers. That doorman was incredible! Hilarious! Keep these vlogs coming! Thanks! L&C 👍🎄😘🎅🇬🇧
teknekon Agreed
Awww thanks Tek!
I love that doorman.... He is so adorable!
Beautiful store!! Loved that doorman, he was soooo funny, had me rolling!! ❤ ❤ ❤ Love you guys!!
I have worked at night in Harrods at night on the Furniture floor changing displays, bringing items up from the basement, it’s huge labyrinth of tunnels, wandering through the store at night was very strange, especially with most of the lighting off, emergency lighting only and the only sound was the buzz of the cctv cameras whirling as they turned to follow you! Very Night at the Museum!
Yes I did get the chocolate coins in my Christmas stocking. And I'm from the US.
Holy crap! That's a fifty dollar pumpkin pie! I can see why you just look.
Good show today.
Love it
Me too! Always got all tingley when I saw the gold shining in multi colored lights 🤩
The amount of will power y’all have is highly Impressive!! There is no way I’d get out of there without at least three pieces of that cake and a ball full of those truffles in tow. 😂
Very true!
Harrods is lovely. Thank you for taking us on a tour!
Our pleasure Lisa
Joel looks like a cartoon Disney prince charming
OMG! He so does!!!
You guys have go do like a whole series at Harrods! I could watch you walk thru and comment on things in there all day!$$££
What fun! I haven't been to Harrods for years, and never at Christmas. Thanks!
When I was a child, we used to get gold foil-covered coins in our stockings here in the US.
Joel, I used to get excited about wrapping paper, too.
I got a kick out of Lia channeling her inner doorman.
Hahaha aww thanks
Gold coins or gilda is very popular as a gift during Hanukkah and is often used to place bets when playing dreidel. [Note to parents: Don't put gold coins in stockings hung by the chimney with care if the fire is ablaze; you'll have a mess in the morning.]
hahahah
Joel, I also love wrapping paper! I enjoy picking out a couple of different papers that compliment one other. I wrap my family's gifts in one style paper & my husband's family's gifts in another. This makes it much simpler when we grab one family's gifts, when taking them to our family Christmas get-togethers.
Joel being a true gentleman not only holding the umbrella but the camera also. Poor Lia having to stretch her neck and try to stay in frame. Great work guys thanks for the shopping experience.
It's a constant faff to try and be in the same frame
The chocolate coins are also a Hanukah tradition. Hanukah gelt. not sure I spelled that correctly.
I celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah and when I was younger I vividly remember the gold bags with blue and I think silver chocolate coins?
@@eej1983able I was introduced to them when I lived in NJ. yummy tradition.
Yes it’s Hanukkah gelt
I remember them as a chanukah thing. Not so much Christmas. I also remember the ones we could get in stores around here as being awful chocolate. Edited to add that harrods was never in our wheelhouse
You have to have that door man as a regular guest on Joel and Lia. 😂
He would be amazing!!
Yes! Always had "coins" in my stocking. However, they obviously were never as artfully packaged as the Harrod's little bags. My memory is that my coins were supposed to be "pirate loot."
Also, have always had a tiger on the Christmas Tree. This has been by way of being a fan of LSU--Louisiana State University. Geaux Tigers!!!
The artificial snow was really interesting. And that doorman seemed like a nice man. And Lia you are so right. Coming to a public place where a person loves their job and enjoys people makes a place feel very nice and welcoming. I probably won't ever be able to afford to travel to England, so it was nice seeing world famous Harrods. Happy Christmas Joel and Lia and Happy New Year!!!
I love Christmas, and I've always wanted to visit Harrod's, thanks for sharing! :)
Thanks so much Tim, glad you enjoyed it!
The chocolate coin thing is huge here in America as well. They were in my stocking every year as a kid.
Loved this vlog. I love seeing London at Christmas. So many truly wonderful things to see.
A lovely video!! My favorite part is near the end when you are talking about how lovely the doorman was!! And there was a very striking moment when Joel looks straight into the camera and says something, all serious like... and he's just absolutely his most gorgeous self at that moment!! Of course Lia is ALWAYS gorgeous!! Love you guys!! Happy Christmas to you and your families!!
Yay! I’ve always wanted to go to Harrods at Christmas! This is awesome.
The dooramn was so receptive, I love that, I love smiling people like him and you guys!
I recently found your videos while preparing for a trip to London and now I'm obsessed! I'll be in London in April if y'all would like to meet some tourists from Alabama, or as Joel says, "Alabauma"!
Harrods is amazing any time of the year... but at Christmas...oh my goodness!....gotta be unbelievable! And the food....the bakery......the assortment of teas....oh my goodness!
Thank you for taking us to Herrods I love seeing all the beautiful Christmas items Love the doorman He needs his own channel Love Love vlogmas Lia "what he said" had me cracking up Thanks for taking us along Love you guys
Yes, as a kid we always got those golden coins in our stockings and loved them .. it was a Christmas tradition for sure! ;)
We do have chocolate coins and Christmas crackers ❤️❤️❤️ so much fun!,
My Mom used to make Christmas crackers for us but I didn’t know it was called that...i love that I just watched people go window shopping and enjoyed it...
I really liked the door man! I have reminded myself that loving my life is more important than anything but loving my family.
I miss British sweets...
He's so sweet!
Wow everything at that store just screams fancy! That doorman seemed so happy to talk with you guys! Loved it!
Veryyyyy fancayyy
I only heard of Harrods in movies. I thought it was only for clothes. They have a lot of sweets! Wow. Thanks for sharing.
Love this. It's like opening up an Advent calendar every day. Not that I'm comparing you to religion...I just watch your videos religiously.
I used to get Chocolate Coins in my stocking every year when I was growing up all the way back in the 60's & 70's.
Harrod's is a Beautiful Store.
I
At my house, in New England, we always had gold-foil wrapped chocolates in our stockings. Loved the Harrods tour!!!!
Hi Legends,
I'm from London but living in Cape Town, South Africa for many years now . . .so thank you SOooo much for taking me on a trip inside HARRODS Store and showing me what I am missing . . . It was amazing and I feel homesick. You are both awesome, Thank You, Anneline 🎶🎵🎄⛄❄️🎉🎊
Awwww no worries hun
Thanks for sharing London at Christmas with us.It is so beautiful! I lived for a brief time in High Wycombe when I was a child and still have such great memories of England!
Mustafa needs to become a recurring character. 😁
FYI There was a musical made for American TV in the mid-60s called “Evening Primrose” about people who secretly live in a department store. They hide during the day and come out to do their thing at night among the fabulous displays. Stephen Sondheim wrote the music, starring Anthony Perkins and Charmian Carr. 🥰 The songs have been recorded many times and I think a DVD of the show can be had from some dark corner of the internet.
Loved the doorman!
And when I was a child, I remember getting those chocolate coins in my stocking. And I now get them for my 3 children.
We have chocolate coins at Christmas. It is apparently all over Europe. It’s a Saint Nicolas tradition. We also got an orange, apple and nuts in our stocking which is also a Saint Nicolas tradition.
Loved your highlights of Harrods...I think about how much i loved London every Christmas when I add my two Harrads o rnaments to my tree! Cant wait to return!! 💚☮️ Be safe!!
Thank you for taking us around with you. The gentleman was the sweetest ! 💕😊Love you both ! 💕💕🐝
This gives me life!!
I love London, and I’ve spent way too much money in Harrod’s!
Nice one Ken
Yes! I feel loved by you guys! Most youtubers don't feel quite so homey and relaxed.
Enjoyed Volg #2, Harrods is so lovely, ....love to watch a walk through of different departments and shops in London..you guys are great...can't wait for your next media series of adventures!
I absolutely loved shopping at Harrods when I visited London. We had high tea, bought lots of gifts to bring back and visited the Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed memorial in the Egyptian escalator. Christmas at Harrods must be amazing.
Loved this so much! I want a London trip during Christmas! Btw I have integrated the Christmas crackers and paper crowns into my family for years and we all love it and it wouldn’t feel like Christmas without them! I got candy money when I was little too. You guys are really putting me into the Christmas spirit! ❤️ ❤️
So glad you started at Harrods and adored the Doorman!! In my family, we do have the chocolate coins and the Christmas Crackers...love the smell of the cap after you pull it! Many years ago, I was in London in the Summertime. A friend was a window dresser at Harrods at the time and although I can't remember the product/brand name, I do remember the whole display filled with different colored/coloured marshmallows!!! It was wonderful. Happy Vlogmas day #2!
Hilarious doorman! He totally made your vlog even better! He had the funniest laugh!!!
He was GOLD!
10:27 Christopher jumping up and down....Best moment !
I would love to visit Harrod's ❤️ Just from your video it reminds me of Eaton's that we use to have in Canada when I was a child. It brought back so many memories!
This was my fav vlog so far. Wonderful. 😁👍
Aw thanks so much Joshua!
The decorations in the store windows remind me of downtown Chicago all the shops there have holiday theme windows with moving parts and moving statues it was always my favorite thing to do as a little girl. Go downtown and just look at all the windows, they also have people selling hot cider and roasted chestnuts. When I was a little girl I thought it was all magical
So you glanced over the fact that you have veggies at this super fancy place!!!!! I could never imagine going to Tiffany's and buying bread lol
Thanks for taking me to my favorite store on earth...this year I'm in the states for the holidays and I miss London at Christmas.
This is going to be fun, seeing you everyday this month instead of "Thrice Weekly". You started off with a bang guys!! I've only driven by Harrah's on vacation. YOU got me in the door! Their cakes look amazing. Yes please! ◇♡◇
Aw thanks so much! You might be bored of us by the end of it haha!
That usher made my day, how uplifting soul he was
He was lovely
During Hanukkah, kids get chocolate coin gelt, but that is bridging over to Christmas, at least in our family.
This video gave me life! Lol The chocolates looked yummy and Mustafa the doorman was so funny and adorable! Thanks for the tour of Harrods, so fancy!
American here. We do chocolate coins and many people do an orange or other sweet citrus in the stocking.
American reacting to Food Court at Harrod’s: Wow! Stunning. But the prices?? Wow! Stunnning! 80 pounds for a cake and 49 pounds for a pie. That’s unreal!
UNREAL
That happens in top stores and bakeries in NYC, too
Michael Mullard Same prices in NY.
Love Harrods (great holiday vide). We get a Harrods bobble ever year! London at Christmas is the best, the lights, Winter Wonderland...LOVE IT! Funny thing, I recognized the doorman right away, he is quite the character. Lia, we have chocolate coins in the US too, usually put in stockings for fun. Great video! Can’t wait to be back at Christmas!
Thanks for the tour, the doorman made my day. What a light soul.
When you were outside in front of the lit Christmas tree🎄 it reminded me of a Mr Bean skit. The one where he acts as if he's a Christmas band director in front of Harrods! It's of my favorite skits that he does ... LOL! 😊😋
I love that you call ornaments, "baubles". I like that word. 😍
The doorman was the BEST, loved it!!!!
LOVE Harrods. AND the both of you. Happy Christmas.
Love ya toni
Loved this video and so cool seeing in one of London coolish stor .... keep up the great work guys
Thanks Raymond
I loved seeing Harrods at Christmas! Ty for taking us with you 😊🎄
This is giving me life! Not being home at Christmas is devastating but this video made me feel like 100% better!!
Those cakes and chocolates, y’all!! That’s my vibe! Loved the doorman! ♥️
Thank you for taking me through Harrods. Gotta buy the Harrods chocolates when I’m there.
Great idea doing these Christmas vlogs. Looking fwd to more.
What a wonderful video. Completely loved it!
As for the gold coins, it is something I grew up with here in the states. One year, when I was little, an uncle played with all of us cousin's mind because he put both gold coins and the chocolate Coles in the stockings. I remember we were all confused. Then one of my cousin's said, "makes sense, that explains my year."😃
But, just an FYI, the whole coin tradition originated in what is now Turkey. So, it is something practiced mainly in Europe. But, many of my friends also grew up with the chocolate coins in their stockings and others for Hanukkah.☺
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Can we just have 10:25 on repeat forever!!!!!
Joel, your laugh at 10:28 is brilliant!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
The best Door man goes to...... Lia!!!
You are crazy girl!!😂
I second the gift wrap love Joel! Festive is fun & if it shimmers, shines or sparkles I’m SOOOO down!
You guys are clowns and I absolutely love y’all!!!
My first comment to you! Thank you for the Harrods tour. I have always wanted to go to England and tour castles, you should consider VLOGing a castle tour. I love Lia's enthusiasm and Joel, if you were only a few decades older. ;) From Texas, USA.
Thanks for this it brings back fun memories, I was there a year ago with my family. All the food looked so good. We were there at night and it was so crowded you could barely move.
I watch all of your videos and especially enjoyed this one. A great way to get us in the Christmas spirit.
This video brought back so many good memories of when I was in London. Loved Harrod's Food Court. I almost bought a table cloth for $600.00 U.S., but remembered my dear friends who I nicknamed 'The Winestains'. Yes we have gold coins and Christmas poppers, and thank goodness NO Christmas pudding. Also love F&M afternoon tea with shortbread & icing. Great video guys and looking forward to tomorrow.
WHOA! Glad you didn't buy it haha
$600 tablecloth! I'd enjoy standing next to the beautifully appointed dining room table eating my food. lol
Seriously so cool! 😎 those cakes though mmm OMG, and I loved that door man what a sweet man! Thanks for showing us around it was beautifully decorated loved it!🎅🎄🥂
“Who puts a tiger on their tree?” Bahaha my tree would totally trigger you Joel. It looks like Snow White’s little creature friends moved in.
It's the first day of Hanukkah! You guys are like one of my favorite youtubers! Happy Hanukkah guys!
That was Awesome, you both are such a joy. 😊. Loved the greeting cards, and the chocolates.
Bout to get me that sweet sweet wall of presidents.
The doorman, Mustafa, was a hoot!
Loved the choc coins in the Christmas stocking!!
We do the Christmas Crackers at Christmas Breakfast. This year we went with the premium version. I hope we still have our paper crowns!
That was a treat! Putting "Visit Harrods During Christmas Season" on my must-do list if I ever get to cross the pond!
Christmas in London the best, except for the cold rain. I like these better when your out and about. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the feedback!
Oh man, those chocolates look incredible.. Loved the packaging of the chocolate coins too, I put those in my daughters stocking every Xmas (even now and she’s an adult). I’m from Seattle..
Really enjoyed that. We are already getting into the Christmas spirit here in Fort Worth, Texas, but this vlog really helped! Thank you.
I love to find cute wrapping paper too!!!❤️ that paper was ugly tho....haha. Loved that place, and the door man 😁.
Our family always gave chocolate coins at Christmas. I love chocolate coins and so do my children and grandchildren. I still buy them every year as a treat to myself. Im from Detroit MI. U.S.A.
Love the doorman!! Adorable!! 💜💜
The Harrod's greeter was a hoot!
Love Harrods, looks like you had such a great time.
It was lovely thanks Fred :)
Your love of life is contagious! Loved this video!
I was having a crap day, but then I remembered it's Vlogmas and I'm two vlogs behind! Love your work!
Thank you SO MUCH guys! What a wonderful iconic place!
Yay! That was so fun! I've never heard of Harrods.., it was spectacular and a must-see when I come to London someday! 😍
Loved this video. Have only been to London once, and thought Harrods was the most amazing store. Thanks for the memory.😍
Love this kind of video! I would love to go to London for the holidays in the future. Thanks for the the sneak peak at Harrod's
❤🎄😍
