Laurie, you are a rock star. We just booked Uniworld Christmas market cruise. Living in GA, I have next to NO cold weather clothes. I will be shopping your suggestions soon. You do the best practical travel videos on the tube.

I visit the Christmas Markets in Vienna just about every year. One thing I make sure to pack (not just for the Christmas Markets) is a strong carabiner. It never fails that the mug that I want most gets sold out immediately & I have to buy one of the ones in circulation (or not buy, but just not get back the Pfand/refund) . Obviously, it's super sticky & clipping it onto my carabiner frees up my hands so I can use them to stuff Raclette in my face. Thank you for another great video, Laurie!

Does my heart good to see my Packing Queen occasionally forgets something. I get so frustrated with myself when I don’t have what I want. Thanks for sharing ❤️

Went to Vienna last December. It was so amazing that I want to go on a Christmas market trip every year now! Also it was freezing and I wore my full length hooded down coat every day. Always, always, check the weather well in advance and then track it to see if it changes.

We're doing the Christmas Markets this December: 3 days in Munich, 3 days in Strasbourg, 3 days in Paris. I love the trains in Europe. We picked three towns with great train links to visit other cities.

Hi Laurie! I was stationed in Germany in 1974-1976 and I loved the Christmas market. I was in Hanau so the market wasn’t really big, so I could imagine the big cities are awesome! My friend that I was stationed with is accompanying me and we’re going to Frankfurt, Nuremberg and others on a trail to Berlin. And a stop in Rothenburg. We are so excited! We’ve been meeting each other in Chicago for their Christmas market, for several years now.
Thanks for all the tips!

Thanks for having a cold themed video on this scorching hot day in Canada. Going to the European Christmas markets is top of my travel bucket list.

I was on Christmas Market cruise on Rhine at same time. I was repeatedly snowed on and occasionally rain. Still it was awesome. Weather proof hooded jacket layered over vest, plus layers, scarf and ear warmer, and my rainproof boots that came up my ankles that had grip on bottoms provided a variety of protection. Carried small umbrella in backpack, never used it, too crowded.

My husband and I are 78 years old, and we're going on a bucket list Christmas Market Tour Dec 2024. We fly to Zurich, spend 2 nights there, then 3 in Lucerne, 2 in Basel, 3 in Strasbourg, 2 in Cologne, and 1 in Koblenz, returning home from Frankfurt. We will have the Eurailpass, which should help a lot. We tried not to have to pack up every night, but I think I overplanned on the number of hotels. We were hoping to see the markets from Zurich all the way to Cologne, but it feels like a bit much as December gets closer. So glad for your suggestions. We will fly carry on, but our hotel in Strasbourg (half way point) has a washer and dryer, so we'll have clean clothing! I loved your suggestion about booking tours during the daylight hours, before visiting the markets. And I want to do other things than walk around in the cold, so a gondola ride out of Lucerne is on my list. Thank you for your videos. You are really a big help!

Just booked our first Christmas market trip, great video, thank you!

Going to Strasbourg, France this December for the Christmas markets! Thank you for the handy tips🖖🏻Love your channel❣️

I went to the Christmas Market in Frankfurt last year and used Apple Pay just about everywhere. Same in a more recent trip to Norway and Great Britain. Always love to see your videos😊

Hi. I’m also a seasoned, organized traveler who forgets to pack items sometimes. So frustrating! Have you considered doing a video on “juice jacking” from outlets that have been tampered with to steal your data when you plug in to charge (such as in an airport)? Amazon has small, inexpensive USB adapters that block data from transferring from your device.

It makes me sad you missed out and had to adapt and overcome on your travels. However, it makes me feel a little less bad when I forget simple things on my travels. I don’t travel nearly as often as you, and if an expert also forgets little things I consider myself in good company. 😊 Thank you for sharing!

I’m going to Germany for the first time this fall, and saving this video 👏🏼 So glad you made this for those of us first timers 😂
