I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season. It's definitely my favorite time of year.

I savoured this marathon for a few days to prolong the pleasure. Great idea to bring them all together. Happy whatever.
When you do the Glühwein episode, can you touch on the Feuerzangenbowle? It is my absolute favorite tradition we do in our family. We have a little glass one, but I've always longed to see the huge ones in the Markt.
Aahhh to get snorked from what is essentially fruitcake.😅
Sangria
My dad's side of the family is from the Czech Republic and Slovenia, of course back when they were under Soviet rule. My 20-year-old daughter just visited both of those countries on a summer semester through school. Do you think you could do any recipes from those countries? My daughter and her classmates were appalled to find dumplings on every single dish in the Czech Republic because they thought they would be Asian dumplings. I am rolling my eyes. I made chicken with dumplings one time and my daughter hated it.
Let’s goooooo❤
Max, imma be real with you, I still love your stuff, but I miss how quirky they used to be. Merry Christmas though mate
Tolkien also makes a reference to the snapdragons game in Letters From Father Christmas 😂
I needed some motivation for some seasonal baking, now it's to test out some OLD sweet treat recipe or two. Your a real sugar plum of a guy Max.
All I want for Christmas is someone who will look at me the way the dude with the glasses at 10:42 is looking at that pudding
We have a family tradition of putting an orange and a apple in the bottom of our stockings. That’s thanks to my Meam Mee (Grandmother) living through the Great Depression.

On the 70s and 80s we always got a huge naval orange and a giant red polished apple in our stocking, as well as some candy. Usually a coloring book and crayons, and maybe a yo yo, silly putty, maybe a hot wheels car. It was always more exciting than opening the wrapped gifts.
"bucett residence, lady of they house speaking"…'keeping up appearances', usually watched it this time of year during pbs fundraisers. 'are you being served' was another one…..now im going to go watch them…
I'm making Gluhwein bonbons for my European Christmas Market chocolate box. Soooooo excited for those aromas to fill my kitchen! As usual, fantastic video! I love a good marathon! Thanks for sharing!
My mom, born in rural Missouri in 1934, remembered when mincemeat had meat in it, but it seemed to have been all but replaced by the all-fruit versions after WW2.
I’d really like to see Max make a traditional French Canadian tourtiere which we have every Xmas. Would love to know more of the history of my favourite Xmas dish from my childhood
1:55:13 feels like a reverse Rodney Dangerfield one liner 😛
Oh ya i i know Dylan he is a hoot and I am Jewish by ancestry so I will be trying latkes
Thanks, Max, I enjoyed this a lot. I’m going to try some of these and see how they compare to my usual recipes.
I had this video paused on medieval gingerbread (watching before bed 😂) and saw the newest gingerbread video and watched it first. Moved back to this one and smiled, well you didn’t make 2021 but 2025 you got your mold and did a great job with it!
So I've been watching this video for a couple of days now. I've only been watching you for about a year maybe, maybe a year and a half? So I haven't seen the older videos. What I've learned is that you used to be a lot sillier and did interesting voices. It's fun to see how you present yourself throughout the years.
Hot Dr. Pepper!! They used to serve it at Mile High Stadium during Bronco games in the mid-70's!!
Adding a second string handle perpendicularly across he first will help you be less nervous about the pudding basin handle situation. I remember seeing my grandmother do this. She did it because it more evenly distributed the weight and kept the pudding basin from tipping to one side and potentially tipping over.
I believe they washed there laundry in the same copper pots as they cooked the figgy pudding in also alot of cheap soap at the time contained cinnamon oil so maybe thats where the quote describing a smell like "a washing-day!" Came from 🤔 Merry Christmas all 🎄
In 1693 Humphrey Prideaux the Dean of Norwich would likely have pronounced his surname "Pridducks". That was, and may still be, the pronunciation in posh circles. In the book 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' there is a sly dig at the headmaster of an iffy school because he said "Priddo". See also Devereaux, pronounced "Devrooks". I'm not posh, but I like this sort of thing.
This couldn't have come at a better time. I was already re-binging every episode! 😂❤
Yes let’s bring g back Abite..is that the word? lol anywhoooo this was very entertaining Max. Thank you
Now you have 4M subscribers compared to this second story wow
🎉 this is the only clip-show allowed in our house: Max Miller! 😂 brilliant
My father’s family were always of English extraction, until my grandfather went to the dark side and married a Scot, and my father went the rest of the way and married someone of French extraction ……I think this explains my personality.
Love all these
Gløgg
This montage contains excellent information and it is presented masterfully… On that note, I needs must see what that dude's weird toes look like, yo.
I love my Christmas fruitcake. I soak the dried fruit and orange peel in sherry for days before making the cake and then feed it more sherry for weeks before coating it in apricot jam, marzipan, white fondant icing and royal icing. Such a decadent dessert.
Got to the part about worms and my girlfriend near bout had a meltdown– she has a phobia of internal parasites. She was most alarmed.
Still, great video.
My parents continued the orange tradition too, but to update it for the times they switched to Terry chocolate oranges instead of a real orange. It’s the spirit of the tradition still, but with a modern twist. And I still do that today.
Hi max, just wanted to inform you I'm in your top 0.1 percent of watchers for the year and I love your content. Keep up the good work!
I deeply miss being able to drink red wine. Can't have it due to a potentially life-threatening reaction to sulfites. I mull cider with all kinds of spices, though. It's also sweet enough without adding sugar.
The closed captions are a bit funny. It keeps saying "mold wine" instead of mulled wine" and instead of Glühwein it says "glue vine" 😂
Does the alcohol burn away in the figgy pudding? I don't consume alcohol, but I would like to try making it… but not if it's alcoholic. … Recovering addict. Best to not play with fire ya know? (unless it burns the alcohol away…) lol! 🥁💥😂
Welp…I guess I won’t be making the Figgy pudding. I DESPISE raisins. 😂
Man, I do wish that Drinking History was returned at least. 🙁
Don't know of George Washington made the eggnog given in the video, but he had a distillery, raised chickens, and sold the eggs. He had agreements with other distillers, too. so he absolutely could have made it.
