 Hello my friends and welcome to Copenhagen, Denmark in the winter. I lived across the water here in Sweden 20 years ago. I came to Copenhagen all the time. I loved it. We would come because the beer was a lot cheaper. And now I'm back 20 years later and we're going to explore some Christmas markets. And look who's here. It's Allie. Welcome in. She learned a Danish word. Let's go have some fun. What is glug? It's warm wine with cinnamon, cardamom and orange. Oh, you take card? Yes, we take credit card. One consistency is they put these raisins and almonds in it. I'd have to fish around to find an almond. But it's good. You let it sit in there and it gets all nice and soft and boozy. And then you eat it at the end. So good. This whole street right here is called Niham and it's beautiful. It's a canal and there's boats lined up and all these old buildings. And when I came here when I was 20 years old, 18 years old as an exchange student, I loved it. It was my favorite spot to hang out in the summertime because in the summertime, the sun stays out almost forever. In the wintertime, it's the opposite. It is 4pm right now and it is dark, but it is cozy. When I start drinking the glow, I start shopping. That's why they sell it so cheap here. This place is really fun. So far it's my favorite. They have a bunch of little animals and donkeys and even dinosaurs made out of wool. And they're actually handmade in Nepal, all fair trade. And yes, they are expensive, but they are cute. You really have to watch yourself when you're crossing the streets here in Copenhagen, there are a ton of bikes and there's a special lane just for bikes. And if you don't get out of the way, they will run you over. This chocolate right here is really cool and you wouldn't even know it's chocolate because it looks like old tools and faucets and even rebar. But everything is chocolate. They do such a good job with the detail. I mean, it seriously looks like old rusty metal. They don't really have burritos in Scandinavia, but they do have crepes filled with chocolate and bananas. Thank you, Allie. Allie just got me this. Sweet. Mmm, awesome. Oh, you can't have it as gluten. Sorry. I had never been to these Christmas markets before, even though I'm not really buying much. It's just fun to be around the atmosphere and the people and it's just super cozy. And the word for cozy in Danish is higge. You should learn that word. It's a very good word. It's like cozy. When everything is just like right in it feels good and warm and soft and fuzzy. This is super cool. This building right here behind me is one giant advent calendar. I wonder if when the day comes up, if a giant piece of chocolate falls out. When I was a kid, I used to get so excited about Christmas because I never wanted Christmas to end. And these Christmas markets feel like Christmas is just every day. I think these markets go on for about a month, the entire month of December. And they just bring so much joy and happiness. And I love the lights and the smells and the food and the people and the smiles and the little toys and everything. These lamb skins are very soft. It's too small. Yeah, I like it. Oh, yes. There are a lot of trolls in Denmark. And I don't know the history with the trolls, but they sell them all over Denmark and Sweden and Norway. And all these trolls are the Christmas ones. I think they're their elves. They work at Santa's workshop. We are now in my favorite amusement park in the entire world, Tivoli. I love this place. And I'm so excited for you to experience it. You love it. I am really impressed that this park is open in the winter. I mean, I've never seen an amusement park open in the dead of winter ever. Doing it in the cold makes it scarier, because it's like your face is freezing off as you're flying through the air. Brutal. Oh, it's Ali. Look at that one. This is kind of a scary way to do Santa Claus. Yeah, I guess if you really want to trick your kids, that's the way to do it. Full face Santa mask. This ride behind me is my favorite in the entire park here in Tivoli. It is the Flivende Cuferte, which I think means the flying suitcase or something. And it takes you through all the Hans Christian Andersen's stories. And it's not a roller coaster. It's not exciting. There's no adrenaline, but I just love it. It's simple. It's sweet. And I'm excited for you to see it. Hey, you've been telling me about this ride pretty much since I met you. Yeah, that's true. I love this ride. It's just like transports you to Fantasyland. And you will see what I'm talking about. Which number of cars should we get? Oh, any? I don't know. Pick one. Pick one. Good moves. Oh, it's going too fast. I'm going to miss it. Allie, wait for me. Okay, here we go. Little mermaid. I know that was really fast, Allie. What did you think? Oh, it was really wonderful. It brought me back to all those childhood fairy tales that, you know, I grew up with my daddy's toys to read me Hans Christian Andersen. Yeah. Yeah, it was really cool to see them portrayed here. And then to see real life Hans Christian Andersen in the end. That was him, right? That was Hans Christian Andersen at the end, animatronic Hans. You know, what's really cool is like a lot of these fairy tales, we don't even realize that Hans Christian Andersen wrote them. You know, he has played a big role in the lives of children all over the world. You know what else is really special? That you've been telling me about this ride since we met and we're here together. I know. That's pretty amazing. We are in Copenhagen, Denmark, in Tivoli, my favorite amusement park in the world together at Christmas time. And it's super cozy. What'd you think of Tivoli, Ali? It was quite the winter wonderland. It is a winter wonderland. Thank you, Tivoli. Thanks, Tivoli. I'm not sure exactly what's happening here, but these bears are having a wonderful Christmas time.
