You can tell that Willa joined Kindergarten. She brought home the same verses my children learned at that time. Things like " piep, piep, piep, wir ham uns alle lieb".

Little Willa dancing on the table, so sweet. She is so adorable.

I'm sure a lot of people have told you already but, in Willa, you have a rather precocious child on your hands! She will be a handful as the years go by, but also always a delight!

As we reach this special time of the year, I would like to wish everyone much happiness, love and joy. Seasons greetings to this wonderful family and to everyone else reading. 😊🥰

Was für ein schönes Video - wieder mal...
Und das Beste war wie Willa aus dem Video eine "dance party" machte..!
Dabei fällt mir ein: "Wenn die Katze aus dem Haus ist tanzen die Mäuse auf dem Tisch!"
ist eine deutsche Redewendung. Die passt hier zwar nicht so ganz, aber immerhin eine (süße) Maus hat ja auf dem Tisch getanzt...

I guess the liquorish flavor comes from "Anis" (anise ?) a spice that is often used for Christmas cookies...or/and fennel

[marcokoch]

Buy "Gewürz Spekulatius" at a small lokal Bakery. It is hard to find good ones but the taste is much better. So if that are your favorites, you will love the handmade ones... I have to send them every year to Arizona :D

[cailleanmccain]

Vanillekipferl actually are really easy to make yourself, one of the easiest by far! So I would recommend you bake some (always tastes a lot better compared to store-bought).

[rebeccarendle]

The liquorice flavour is most likely Sternanis (star anise). Fun vlog. Willa melts our hearts.

My favourite German biscuits are
1) Spekulatius
2) Sandtaler or Heidesand (taste like shortbread, but are on not hard. They just melt in your mouth).
3) Vanillekipferl
4) Marzipan stollen ..i like the small konfekt stollen

[helfgott]

There is NOTHING but to see childrens eyes on christmas THANK YOU for beeing here, noboby can resist little Willa

[donteddy]

Vanillekipferl should be homemade or at least from a bakery. The factory ones are completely different.

[lutrabee]

My favorites are Lebkuchenherzen zartbitter mit Aprikosenfruchtfüllung a little of everything gingerbread dark chocolate not too sweet and for the fruity taste apricot.
Don't miss it

Willa… Dancing Queen… ♥️was für ein süßer Schatz.

You definitely must also try Christstollen (the original from Dresden). You slice it like bread and eat it with butter. Very delicious and very christmassy.

[Schaneification]

Welcome to Europe , I am a American that been living here for over 25 years . Keep travelling . There so much to See !

[markeschen]

Oh my... If we had Dominos for roughly $2 here in the States, I'd get is soooo much trouble. Those are my absolute favorites. I'm also a huge fan of marzipan, so that is part of my love for those.

[marcusbastian]

There is nothing better than Marzipankartoffeln und Baumstriezel for Christmas!

[darkredvan]

My personal favorite Christmas treats (no specific order): Marzipanbrot, Schokolebkuchen, Kokosmakronen, Schokoladenprinten, Spekulatius, Christstollen (Dresdner Art, with fruits). One small hint regarding Stollen: it can take some time / try and error to find a really good, tasty one. Usually the very cheap ones are not the best. However the highest price does not guarantee the best one either (this is true for other items as well, especially Aldi and Lidl sometimes have cheaper stuff that tastes as good or better than the expensive variety).

[ClaudiaG.]

please go to your local bakery and buy the "weihnachtsplätzchen" there.. it will be much better than the factory ones..
Also, you need to try a "christstollen" the "dresdner Christstollen" ist the most famous but i think every other will do too. Just slice it as loaf of bread and spread butter on it. Or dip it in your coffee/tea/ hot chocolate. sooo delicous.

6:05 the white thing is called "oblade". It translates to wafer in english but i dont think you can call this a wafer. A oblade is used as a base for many christmas sweets, such as lebkuchen or "kokosmakronen"
