Leipzig’s Christmas markets are pure magic! 🎄✨ From the twinkling lights to the delicious treats and festive atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit. Let us know your favorite part of the markets or share where you’d love to visit next! 🎁❄️- Thanks for watching!
I love your content, especially showing place off the beaten path and non-tourist traps! I'm just trying to figure out if you travel to Germany a lot or do you have a second home here?
Nice to see you here, unfortunately your wife seems to be an "introvert" (me too) but it would certainly help the channel to see her more often! Great channel
"Apfelküchle mit Vanillessoße" ist mein Liebligsdessert und Münchner Apfelstrudel und Topfenstrudel (nicht die Tiroler version).
I love beetroot, whether red or yellow, and many other tuberous vegetables,
Well, folks, another fine video was made here. I wanted to lick my screen so many times seeing all of the good-looking food you had, lol. I really need to visit Leipzig during the Christmas Market; it's beautiful. Leipzig is an awesome city as it is, but I love the Christmas feel. The passage looks so festive, and my next restaurant of choice will certainly be "Auerbacks Keller." Hold on a second. I need to take a bite out of my screen again, LOL!!!!!!!! Thank You so much for this well-done video, Rick Steves may hire you 🙂 !!!!!
My sister and her family are headed Europe to check out the Christmas Markets. It looks like a great time.
So beautiful to see that the beauty and fullness of the holiday season is not limited to the Weinachtmarkts in the Western Bundeslander Deutschlands! You're excellent video inspires me to check-out Saxony during the holiday season! 👍Well done!
Beautiful!!!
A beautiful and comprehensive journey through Leipzig and its many variations of Christmas markets! I was so sorry to miss you two. We were moving, we are still moving, the chaos continues. Much as I would have loved to bail for a few hours to enjoy a gluehwein with you both, if I had I would have been hung, drawn and quartered… and divorced… That's a lovely video though, you didn't miss out a thing. Great cameo by Casey! 😃👍 You look like you are having a great time, so long may it continue. Have a great time in Dresden and a very merry Christmas, y'all! ❤️🌲❄️🎁
Leipzig is also beautiful in summer!
Man, you have some real charming and handsome friends. Great video! Makes me want to go back there and eat more. 😅
This was so magical. The smaller Christmas markets bring a very special kind of charm. The church was also beautiful. I truly enjoy this kind of Vlogs. I’m heading to Bolzano next week. Also a part of Italy with German and Austrian influence. In fact it’s so much more German than Italian the last time I noticed when I was there. Enjoy Germany both of you. Looking forward to more videos like this. 😊 🥰
Wow, Leipzig’s Christmas Market looks absolutely magical! The decorations, food, and atmosphere make it a must-visit for sure. Thanks for the amazing guide! 🎄✨
Hello, I come from Leipzig and I like the video! What really irritates me, however, is that NOWHERE can you see the magnificent, fantastic virtuoso street accordion players. Just those terrible and way too loud bagpipe players.
Thank you for the wonderful Christmas video!
Another fun video. We love German and Austrian Christmas markets. The Desden hand bread is high on the list now! We just went to the one in Ljubljana, very nice ❤
❤Amazing video! Love the market in the train station. Would love to visit Christmas Markets in Germany someday.
Beautiful markets and the food looks delicious. It will definitely be on my bucket list. ❤
Super Video. Dankeschön 🙏
Leipzig is a open minded City and with a good lifestyle.
Leipzig got the biggest and most impressive and beautiful Train Station in the World.
Hey as soneone from Leipzig with an Cajun fiance i can give the information that
Essentismaly Kräppelchdmen are the same as french / cajun bingets there might be small recepie differences but essentialy as i said its the same thing 😅 so if kräppelchen is to hard to pronounce just call em bingets
Great job Lee & Betty!!!
Every time I watch your videos I have to run to the scale to see if I put on a few. What better representation do they have than a pork loving Arkansanian going all out Southern Hungryman!?! The food looks so delicious. Leipzig looks like a beautiful place, and I appreciate the historical perspective illuminating all the amazing composers! 💪🏽🤠❤️
