We will never cease to be surprised by the magic that a snowy landscape awakens in us. Thanks for sharing it. It tastes like Christmas, without a doubt
I loved Peter's saying:
"the warmth from joy is warming me"
How sweet of you to think about the needs of the birds in winter season.
Peter, just a question: I think I saw a beaten egg on the table when you were making the cookies but I didn't see you adding it to the dough. Maybe I'm wrong.
Guys, beautiful friends, good ending and better beginning. Love you.
Hi Liliana 😊 We were so glad it was snowing, it definitely added to the magical Christmas atmosphere ❄️ There were little yellow bowls on the table with sugar. When I used the sugar and one of the bowls was empty, it might have looked like there was a beaten egg. But no, no eggs in this recipe 😉 Thank you and we also wish you all the best 😊
@tommyandpeter
Thanks for the answer. I'm going to make those cookies. Kisses.
Peter, your cookies looked perfect and Tommy you were the perfect sous chef to Peter. A great video! They always inspire happiness 😊.
Thank you, Fran 😊
You two are so special. Your happiness brings me and many others happiness. I can’t watch any of your programs without smiling. Have a very merry Christmas.
Aww, thank you very much, Dennis 😊 You are so kind! Merry Christmas 💙😉
It's always fun to watch you guys get into the Christmas spirit. Wishing you a great holiday season and a happy and healthy new year.
Thank you! Have a great holiday too 😊
Tommy, I think you could ice skate down that path....Peter's right, it certainly is beautiful. I always pray for a white Christmas. It makes it seem like everything is right with the world.
Yes! Sadly white Christmas here gets less and less common 😐❄️
OOOH!! It's beautiful and Peter frolicking in it makes it even lovely with the "perfect" snow music for accompaniment. YAY
It was so great, that the snow came to the country house for a while 😁 I liked the music too when I heard it ❄️😊
I always feel invigorated walking in colder weather 😊🍪🎄
Yes, it's special ❄️😁
You two are the gift that keeps on giving! Loved the slow motion snow fall, and your Christmas onesies! 😍
Thank you, Jay 🥰 The snowfall was so beautiful that it was a must to capture it 💙 And our onesies are a must too, so cozy 😁 Happy to hear you liked the video 😊
Love the snow, the fog, and the cold. It is a beautiful winter wonderland. It has given me more Christmas feelings. Every Christmas feast should have a delicious roll and Peter's look yummy. Have a great Christmas!
We were so glad it snowed, in the right Christmas spirit 😊 Glad we could give you Christmassy feelings too 😉 Merry Christmas 🎄
Ahhh! I remember watching you making the wooden snowmen. A thrill to see them again. It is delightful to see Peter, the Bohemian fairy princess angel, frolic in the winter wonderland. Making Christmas cookies with you guys is a very fun tradition. I’m going to make this year’s recipe. Yum! Now I am looking forward to seeing the upcoming traditional snow sledding episode. I fondly remember watching your sledding from past years. Tommy and Peter ❤ Have a very merry Christmas 🎄 and a wonderful new year! 🍪
Yes, I made that snowman in 2020. We've been using it as winter decoration ever since. So cool that you remember. You are an original viewer of our channel 😁 Sadly no sledding episode is coming, because there is no snow 😀 We'll see if there will be enough sometime during this winter ❄️ Merry Christmas 😊
Peter, your pronunciation of biscotti, was perfect. Says this American.
Yay! Thanks 😁
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New years filled with love and laughter.❤
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too 😊
I love fog too ! Then we cannot see the ( ugly) mainland ! Ha ha ! Looove the snow and weather talk ...
Haha, such a nice reason to love fog 😂
A very beautiful video with all the snow. It's amazing how the snow just changes the atmosphere to one of Christmas. That and the wonderful cookies really makes me hungry. Always enjoy the walks through the countryside. Take care and Joyeaux Noel to both of you. Tony
Thank you very much, Tony 😊 The snow makes everything better during Christmas ❄️ Such a shame it was here only for a short time. But at least we still can enjoy our cookies 😁 Joyeaux Noel to you too 🎄😉
euphoric
Your microphones are coming out very clearly. They look like little pompoms on your hats. How cool!!
Happy to hear that 😁
Your English and English vocabulary are so good. In English - we would say the snow is HEAVY instead of strong.
Thanks 😊 Regarding weather it's light, moderate and heavy, right? Do you also use these words when speaking about fog for example?
Cooking with Peter: my favorite
And; I told you already: when you are not as children...😂
Glad to hear, thanks 😁
Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year, Tommy and Peter! The sound with the new mics is fine. Thanks for another cool vlog. You always put a smile on my face and heart. Peter, don't ever lose that childlike Joy, it's very precious. Merry Christmas!, Tom
Thank you, Tom 😊 So nice of you to say. Hopefully I won't lose my childlike joy, haha 😁 It's just in me all the time 😊 Merry Christmas 😉
Loved the snowy scene at your farm yard. Great to see you both. Sorry I’ve been so quiet of late, but these days life is hectic for me. So little time. Keep the videos coming in 2025. Best wishes from Ireland, your pal Stefan xx 😘🎄🎉🥂🏳️🌈
Hi, great to see you here again 😁 All the best to you in 2025 😉😊
The new lights are amazing and accent your home beautifully. 🎁
They have been quite a lot of fun 😁 Thanks 😊
I LOVE your holiday videos. PLEASE make one for this year showing your Christmas week to New Year celebration.
Thank you 😉 We won't be filming this year's Christmas week to New Year celebration, but we already filmed it in the past (it's kinda the same every year), so if you'd like you can take a look here: ua-cam.com/video/Fk3-aOTH1Q4/v-deo.html
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉May the New Year bring you happiness 😊 🙂 and many ✨️ 🙏 💛 Blessings 🙌
Thank you, Kristine. Merry Christmas 😊
Your Christmas videos wouldn't be complete without the onesies. Nice to see you in them. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Dancing in the snow. Perhaps a new career as a ballet dancer? Pastries looked yummy! Now I am hungry. Best wishes.
Haha, just an occasional snow dancer 😁 Thank you! Happy holidays 😊
Good seeing your reactions to the snow. Love seeing you both. Its mid summer here in Australia.
To us it sounds almost unreal, that Christmas could be in summer ☀️😁 Merry Christmas to Australia 😊
Love your snowy world as I live in the desert and it is summer all year long. Happy holidays to you both.
Glad we could bring you to a more wintery setting ❄️😊 Happy holidays 😉
I love your country house and your beautiful garden with the pine trees...it's really pretty there. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas!
Thank you very much 😊 Merry Christmas 😉
Merry Christmas guys. Love the cookies made for the holidays. Happy New Year too. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Many thanks! Merry Christmas and all the best in 2025 😊😉
You guys always have the best videos, and I like the music you add to them. They are never overpowering. I do have a question. A few months ago, I donated a small amount to help you buy a new camera when your other one was lost. I asked you at the time what camera you were buying because I was looking for a new one myself. You sent me the info, but I can't seem to find your reply. Would you please send it to me again? I wish you both a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. 🎄 Tim
Thank you very much 😊 The camera is called "DJI Osmo Pocket 3" 😉 Merry Christmas to you too 🎄
Merry Christmas guys. Love cooking with Peter. More please. We make a similar cookie with walnuts. Peter I use lard in my pie pastry. Makes it very flakey. Have a great holiday.
Thank you! Yes, lard makes it flakey and tender. Merry Christmas to you too 😊😉
Merry Christmas, gentlemen !
Keep up the good work ! 😘
Thank you. Merry Christmas to you too 😊
Hello from USA. Love your enthusiasm and joy. I’m happy you love the snow it is beautiful. Will you post more VLOG’s in 2024? HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU!!! Love is Love ❤️ Sending joy from Florida.
Hi Jim, thank you! There won't be any more vlogs in 2024. We will be quite busy visiting all the family members and so on. We'll be back probably in the second week of January. Happy holidays to you too 😉😊
@ A Joyous time with family and friends!!! 🎄🌲🧑🏼🎄🤶🏼🤩❤️🤗
I am watching your video from Hungary..❤❤
Hi Tibor. Greetings to Hungary 😉
Merry Christmas, guys!!! ❤💚❤💚❤💚
Thank you, merry Christmas to you too 🎄😉
Have a wonderful Christmas guys ❤
Thank you, you too 🎄😊
Merry Christmas, guys. As always, a fun video. We'll see you next year. Have a happy new year too.
Thank you, Don. Merry Christmas and all the best in 2025 😉😊
Happy Solstice ❤
Happy winter solstice. It only gets brighter from now on 😁
I had fun watching you have fun in the snow. I love snow. Let it snow!
10:35 I will definately try out those tasty cookie-like items. Maybe I will use almond flour instead of spelt or wheat? This year I made some mince meat pies with almond flour in the tart shell and it was very nice and crumbly.
Hi! Snow is amazing ❄️😁 Not sure if the little vanilla rolls would work well with almond flour, since there are ground almonds already in the recipe. It would basically just be almonds, butter and sugar. You'd need to try, if the dough would hold together.
@@tommyandpeter I am waiting for my Dr. Oetker Vanillin Zucker to arrive in the mail tomorrow, then I will try to make some. I've never used this form of vanilla, I usually just add the extract from a small bottle.
Apparently these cookies are also popular in Germany: ua-cam.com/video/x3L_zBwnaxY/v-deo.html
Yes, we've seen that they are also popular in Germany and also in Austria. It's probably from the Austria-Hungary times, when we were one country (monarchy) with Austria. So funny that you had to order the sugar 😁 Vanillin Zucker is considered somewhat less quality compared to Vanille Zucker - Vanillin is a chemical compound, synthetic and cheaper (artificial flavor). Vanilla sugar is sugar infused with real vanilla beans (flavored sugar, like cinnamon sugar but with vanilla). But it's just a minor difference. It's just what they teach us here, always to be vigilant and uncovering these tricks in supermarkets, haha 😀 Sorry for the late reply. We are now curious if you made the little vanilla rolls 😁
Merry Christmas to both of you and best wishes for a great New Year!
Thank you, Ron. Merry Christmas 😉
great music
Happy to hear you liked it 😊
Merry Christmas and thanks for the Vids x
Merry Christmas to you too 😉
I was thinking about vanilla not being a staple in the Czech Republic. It seems that vanilla beans are grown in Madagascar,
Comoro Islands, Hawaii, Indonesia, and Tahiti which were all colonies of other countries. Maybe that trade just never occurred with the Czech Republic? What say you? The snow is beautiful but it's difficult to drive in so I don't love it. Merry Christmas guys. I love your baking episodes. DA
That could be it, but not entirely. Vanilla has been quite common here, it's just that the vanilla extract is not common, but people have been using vanilla sugar (Vanilla sugar is made of sugar and vanilla beans). Vanilla sugar (not vanilla extract) is the main ingredient in the majority of Europe when you go for vanilla flavor 😉
Merry Christmas, Donald 🎄 We shall be back with more baking episodes in 2025 😉😁
i have almond flour in my freezer, i was wondering if i could use that for ground almonds, the package says it is super fine ground almonds, so i think yes, i need to broaden my baking repertoire, i find a few things i like and stick to that for instance my pull-apart challah rolls for holiday get-togethers
i thought that was a snowflake on your table not a star
You probably could use it, but it depends. Normal almond flour has sometimes less fat (they remove it), than just ground almonds. But if yours says that it is just super fine ground almonds, than it should be ok. Maybe the texture of the little rolls would be a little bit different (maybe you would need to add a bit more water to the dough) but there shouldn't be a big difference. So go for it 😁
The golden snowflake on the table is a star of its own ❄️
❤️💚❤️💚❤️
🎄💙❄️
Did you send your letter to Santa 🎅 ( telling him , what you want for Christmas) 🎄 ?
We did not. Here in Central Europe presents are brought by Baby Jesus, not Santa. Haha 😁 We explain in our old video, if you'd like to know more: ua-cam.com/video/HbVFxlwS8ag/v-deo.html It starts around the 24th minute.
I felt like I was watching "Baking with P'ulia (Peter/Julia)! Thank you for sharing your Czech recipes, Peter. Tommy is good with the camera . And I didn't realize that the farm had so many buildings/roofs, oh my, how many are there? And do you go by "acres" or "hectares"? The snow coming down there did look like Christmas and with that, I wish you a very Merry one!
Glad you liked the recipe. Baking can be quite fun, haha 😁 There are a lot of buildings here. If you'd like, you can take a look at the property tour, where we show all of them. It's in this old video: ua-cam.com/video/Z5HBLtCpTTs/v-deo.html
In American units the whole property with the garden should be 1.5 acres. Merry Christmas 😊
@@tommyandpeter Thank you for the link. I went back to the past and watched! Made a comment. Now back in the future! Thanks again, I enjoyed it.

Biscotti in English is Biscotti. lol
Yay 😀 The word sounds Italian or something, that's why I had no idea how to make it sound English 😂
