Just a quick note: This video was filmed in 2022, that's why I often use the phrase "38 years ago". Of course, the song "Last Christmas" is already 40 years old today.
@@88watching I created a new channel for my filming location videos since nobody watched them on my main channel. Here's more about that: www.patreon.com/posts/future-of-my-108992298
I partly grew up in Saas-Fee (my 2nd home town) and you directly walked along the house my parents build in 1968, Chalet Feekatz, and I could see my bedroom window, starts at 5.13! They sold the house in 1985 and my brother was there in 1984 when they filmed the Wham video, he is even on it while they were filming at the Felskinnbahn (we have seen it being build) standing by the retro green pillars. So many of my footsteps on the streets of Saas-Fee and where you walked I have skied for years and years coming down from the mountains. And you stayed in Hotel Imseng where we stayed in March 2023, in the room next to where you stayed! Sadly Hotel Imseng has been sold (owner was Lukas Imseng). The house they used for filming from the outside I know very well, it's a bit above our old family home, that's why you stood next to my old family home lol, indeed there were no houses surrounding it. By the way the tables and chairs used in the video were from a restaurant, Zur Muhle, owned by a friend of mine. I have set on those chairs and at those tables a zillion times. Thanks you for bringing back great memories! By the way there is a statue from Wham now next to Hotel Walliserhof where they stayed.
I was there at the beginning of 2024 and as part of the 40 year anniversary they have a small monument in the centre of town in memory of the Last Christmas song from 1984. That is a lovely tribute to the great track and stunning location where it was filmed.
Sir! What a beautiful Christmas gift you gave to us. Its so amazing to see the area. I can see why they chose this location. It is really peaceful and scenic. Thank you so much for covering this. George is still my favorite artist of all time. ❤🙏🏻❤️
This is not an easy thing to do, thank you for sharing the memories of the video , it takes me back in time , I grew up in the 80’s and it is the best decade in my honest opinion, we have everything in the 80’s , great music and the best artists of all time.
Super reportage, excellent travail ! Hé oui 40 années déjà et ce succès indémodable. Merci pour cette découverte ! 👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻🙏🏻🏔️❄️☃️🎄🎅🏻 Joyeux Noël à toutes et à tous 🤗
Як швидко плине час… І Джорджа Майкла вже нема, і місцину, де знімали кліп, не впізнати. Але пісня і досі наповнює серце теплою Різдвяною атмосферою, повертаючи нам відчуття дружби, святковий настрій і солодкі спогади про минуле кохання. Немов на мить повертаєшся у ті безтурботні часи. Дякую Музтонік за цікаве посилання і автору каналу за чудове відео.👍
In Denmark, the radio ban on Wham!'s "Last Christmas" was primarily linked to the viral game known as Whamageddon, which encourages participants to avoid hearing the song from December 1 until Christmas Day. This game was created by a group of friends from Denmark about 18 years ago, who noticed that "Last Christmas" was played excessively during the holiday season. To make the experience more enjoyable, they turned it into a challenge where players aim to last as long as possible without hearing the song. The popularity of Whamageddon has led to various establishments, including radio stations and pubs, opting to ban or limit the song's airplay to support participants in the game. This trend has been particularly strong in Denmark, where many people engage in the challenge each year12. The game's rules specify that only the original version of "Last Christmas" counts; covers and remixes do not affect a player's status in the game. As a result of this cultural phenomenon, there have been instances where radio stations in Denmark have chosen not to play "Last Christmas" during the holiday season, contributing to its temporary ban in certain contexts. This reflects a broader sentiment among some listeners who feel overwhelmed by its frequent rotation during Christmas time
Yeah, you're right! He does deserve them! Look at all those video visualizations, I there's a lot of people viewing this, but unless he gets 1000 subscribers or more, he can't get any profit out of his great video!
Whoever lives in this place is the king. This spot is beyond iconic. I used to think the whole thing was filmed in the USA. But of course, how could it be otherwise? Switzerland.
Up here in Vancouver on the west coast of Canada,one of the local mountains is called Grouse Mountain. They have the same gondolas from Switzerland, and every year, guys from there come to maintain them.
Thank you for this ,just played this song to my Xmas lights ,love this song play it every Christmas.wishing you and your family a merry Christmas and a safe new yeat
Netflix just added a 1 hour movie this week on the making of the video and they came back to the house. Everyone who was in it was there, except George, of course.
I love that you pursued this task… thank you! It’s such an iconic music video 🎄 40 years ago, WOW‼️ You should have attached the music video to the end of this one…
Merci beaucoup je vous apprécie tellement pour ce que vous nous partagez... C'est tellement important pour moi je suis fan de Wham! Et George depuis que j'ai 12ans... Maintenant j'ai 51 ans... Encore merci ça fait du bien...❤
Hats off to you for finding this! Very nostalgic indeed😊 I remember when the music video first premiered on Mtv😊 definitely gave you a Christmas feel..it's sad George Michael is not around but the location is still there👍
Wow, just wow! Thanks so much for your work with this video! “Last Christmas” has got to be the most iconic Christmas song of all time. In fact, it’s the only Christmas song that I like to listen to all year long. George Michael and I are within five months of each other in age. I was in college when this song was released. This song is more than just a Christmas song. I think it’s a cultural song for the whole world that everyone can relate to and more importantly, relate to each other when heard together. How can you not want to hug someone next to you when it comes on. This song is also haunting to me, because it’s one of those “heartbreaker” songs. Yep, unfortunately for me it is, but I still love it. I think you have created a piece of history here with this video, because you have pulled everything together that I’m sure most people have always wondered. If there’s one question I have left, it’s how did they choose this location….. From Tomball, Texas, Merry Christmas to you and everyone that has commented.
Thanks for this Mathias! Bummer that area has changed now for the better. All that wide open land has been built up. You would think because of Saas-Fee's strict no car rule they would have very limited development. I would have also liked to have seen inside the Walliserhoff. Their suites and how far was as far as possible away from each other was?😂😂The bar the pool etc... Trying to drive around that quaint little hamlet in a stretch limo would have been insane! They admitted it was real alcohol they were drinking and the crew filled their glasses to the top so they got totally smashed! 😂 Maybe it was to try and help keep things loose between Andrew and George as they were going to be splitting up soon after. They tried to make it look like it was very amicable but obviously there were tensions brewing between the old school boy mates at that time.
I thought Andrew and Yog or Yorgios (George) were good friends. NOt sure about the hotel room thing. Maybe one of them was a partier and the other one wanted a little more quiet. I don't think they had an icy relationship from all accounts. Shirley and later Pepsi with Andrew and George were all friends from what they have been saying in interviews. The other interesting thing Shirley said which supports the drinking of all the booze at the bar is that when they filmed the dinner scene they all got pretty drunk on wine ..but also they didn't really serve any food. Just shows you how film making is done. Its like a magician's trick. They do enough to get you to believe what the reality is but behind the scenes they edit things together like the house party, dinner location and cable car all to weave a story. Where Eagle's Dare with Clint Eastwood was sort of like this shoot as well. It was still fun to see and looks like a breath taking place to visit. Thanks for posting!!!!
Cable car was in a garden of a hotel Saas Fee. Dutch ski shop wanted to bring it to the Netherlands but could not with a truck through narrow streets. Tried twice to get it down with a helicopter but did not succeed, too heavy. Afterwards it turned out that the cable car was full of concrete, after they had cut the Cable car to pieces because it was dropped by helicopter in someone else his garden.
Cheers m8 love George Michael a talent that is so sadly missed. But never be forgotten his talent demeanor and class put shivers down my spine lovely kind man that deserved more happiness than he got ❤️ ❤❤
It's smart to keep it as a secret than over-promote it and turn it into a gimmick. If they turned the place into basically "Wham! Town" it would be anything than quiet, which would beat its purpose.
The cast from the last christmas video have just filmed a tv show for UK where they revisit that location. Pepsi & shirley were just on This morning talking about it. I think it aired yesterday on BBC2. Its called Wham Last christmas unwrapped. I havent watched it yet. ua-cam.com/video/cYCcs4NvGDI/v-deo.html
I just saw that interview with them and they said a monument / statue honoring Wham has been inaugurated there, so from now on there's a landmark that would help the people to find the house easily!
Thank you so much- what a brilliant idea! I saw bits and bits about filming it, but this is great! Now imagine if you did filming locations for Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas' :)

17:50, What are you talking about? I have seen mobile phones in cars, back in April of 1985 in Osnabruck, Germany. I moved to Chicago in May of 1985, and my family had a brand new Mercedes Benz S500 with a mobile phone, Corvette with a mobile phone, and my cousin who owns trucking company, always carried a hand held mobile phone everywhere. Back in 1986, I met an Iranian developer in California, who was building expensive homes for rich Iranians. He had a satellite phone in a suitcase.
This video was made in 2022 and re-upped in 2024. So "38 years ago" refers to 1984 - when the Last Christmas music video was shot. In Europe, when we say "mobile phones" we mean hand-held cell phones - not briefcase phones or car-phones. Those existed long before the 1980s e.g. John Lennon had a radio telephone in his Rolls Royce in the 1960s. In March 1984 in the USA, Motorola released the world's first hand-held cell phone. But this could not have been used in Switzerland in 1984 because they did not have a compatible cell network yet. So it's true that mobile phones (i.e. hand-held cell phones) did exist in 1984 - but not in Switzerland.
Ist der Ort tot oder was? Da ist ja rein gar nichts los. Nicht mal beim Blick vom Balkon. Nicht eine Menschenseele zu sehen. Ein Spaziergänger bei der Brücke. Vielleicht ist ja im Winter bei Schnee mehr los. Echt schön die Locations heute zu sehen.

Without Question!
Great detective work, and consideration for the owners and neighbours. Iconic location 😊
Thank you for finding the wham cabin for us ❤
And know I have wach that iconic video clip again
i saw this video, and as a WHAM! addict, my immediate reaction was “WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT” over and over again at 2:30am at night.
What a stunning place! This was a lovely video

Very nice video; puts a nice perspective on the video. Cheers.

80s, BEST decade, especially the music, great nostalgia/memories.

A shot every time you say 38 years ago 🥴🥂
Lol, me too.. Even worse, it's
been actually 40 years (1984) not 38! 😮😱 (unless he's saying 38 because he filmed this in 2022)(?)🤔🤔
Right, that makes no sense if the video upload a month ago. (in November 2024)
Saas Fee was also the place where in the early 70's one of the clearest daytime UFO'S was spotted by three Dutch hikers.
Niks bij zonders aan die staat gewoon in een dorpje saas feee in Zwitserland heel mooi
Nice Kevin house
A Roland Juno 60 synth, Linn drum computer...plus Georges voice...
LOL.
Where those people that made the video with wham?
ILLUZIÒ ROMBOLÒ HÒ NÈLKÜL A FELVÈTEL!!!!!!!
Great in first in think thats take shoot from sierra nevada mountain when i saw it 80's but now i knew if thats at europe
So when was the video actually filmed?
40 years ago 😮
Sigh❤
And our minds are playing tricks on us making it feel like it was 15 years ago instead of 40 (sigh x2!)
Thank you so much- what a brilliant idea! I saw bits and bits about filming it, but this is great! Now imagine if you did filming locations for Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas' :)
in high school, my lady friend had the hots for george, then later she found out and was very sad.

There's no mystery at all.
ich war 2013 dort. da war die Felskin Bahn noch fast 1:1 vorhanden zum Glück
well… they just used the outside if i remember correctly
Dude how can you name that Jeep CJ7 an SUV 😮
An...
Video showing how it is impossible to see the WHAM! Last Christmas house today.
Actually 40 years ago
Lieber Matthias. Bitte „Gschtaad“ und nicht „Ge-Staad“. Das tut in der Seele weh 😅
You're gonna want to do a blacklight test on that house before you sit on the furniture.
Ist der Ort tot oder was? Da ist ja rein gar nichts los. Nicht mal beim Blick vom Balkon. Nicht eine Menschenseele zu sehen. Ein Spaziergänger bei der Brücke. Vielleicht ist ja im Winter bei Schnee mehr los. Echt schön die Locations heute zu sehen.
Country ?
Switzerland
you look like an Atlas under that ceiling
Secondo me nn la casa che fa vedere sul cellulare nn e uguale ha quella Che fa vedere nel video c'è tanta differenza da una casa altra
It's a new railing which replaced the old one.
The girl with the brooch is a modle on QVC.
Last Christmas was actually made 40 years ago, not 38
I believe he mentioned that somewhere in here. Either way, close enough. :)
Did you say George was having an affair in the video? I always thought his relationship with his ex ended a year ago, according to the song.
