European Christmas Markets

Posted on December 20, 2025January 19, 2026 by nicole

We’re total Christmas enthusiasts and absolutely love exploring Christmas markets across Europe. Our first Christmas market road trip was back in 2019, and ever since, it’s become a regular tradition. Each year we try revisit our favourites while discovering a few new ones along the way — because let’s be honest, there’s always room for…

Christmas Market Roadtrip

Posted on November 9, 2022January 19, 2026 by nicole

In 27 days we visited 24 Christmas markets throughout France, Germany, Netherlands, and Belgium. You would think that after so many markets we would have started to get tired of them, but in fact each market was different and had it’s own special feature or feel to it. We obviously have a few that we…

The Great Christmas Feast

Posted on February 12, 2022April 11, 2025 by nicole

For Christmas 2021 we booked reservations to The Great Christmas Feast in London – a Charles Dickens dinner. I am a huge fan of Charles Dickens and A Christmas Carol, so even though I didn’t know what to expect I was very excited and looking forward to it. Unfortunately, the night of our scheduled dinner…

We were so excited for Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. There was a train station near the hotel that went straight to the Disney stop. We got off the train and jumped on the Disney tram since we were heading to DisneySea. Once we arrived we had to get in line to get tickets for…

Tickets for DisneySea and Disneyland

Posted on December 22, 2018April 11, 2025 by nicole

I tried to get tickets for Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea prior to leaving for Japan, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to. From the Tokyo Disney website, you have to register for an account and every time I tried to register or login I was supposed to receive a verification email. The link in the verification…

I’m Dreaming of a Cold Christmas

Posted on December 1, 2018April 9, 2025 by nicole

Christmas! When it’s hot outside? That’s not natural! The last two years we have celebrated Christmas in the heat. I’m sorry, but it just doesn’t feel right. I need cold weather, cute knit hats, snowflakes, hot chocolate, and a cozy fire… Celebrating Christmas in Australia just isn’t the same. It’s hot – which means no…
