We’re going this year. It’s a fairytale theme
Hey, my castle!!! Lol
Castle Howard always do a spectacular Christmas display but if you want an outdoor Christmas display to match the indoor then it’s hard to beat Chatsworth House.
m.czcams.com/video/lVj010j9ce8/video.html
Merry Christmas Natasha and Debbie, love your channel. Please check out Christmas at chatsworth house on CZcams. It’s a stately home near where I live, it’s beautiful and it was used in the pride and prejudice series when Colin Firth came out of the lake as Mr Darcy. When you come over you need to pay it a visit, it’s fabulous.
Hi Natasha and Debbie, I though you would enjoy this Tudor christmas..m.czcams.com/video/Y5mAexY-HPs/video.html
There was a programme on Channel Five (l think) just recently about Castle Howard at Christmas.
Yes , watched it . Excellent .
I can't believe you found Kirsten & Joerg they're a lovely German couple who live in England and do vlogs about their travels around the UK & occasionally Germany, you won't go wrong with any of their content they shoot & edit everything beautifully 😍
Totally agree, I have been following Kirsten and Joerg for a couple of years. If you liked the look of Castle Howard, check out Miranda Mills on youtube, she did a video last December of the display, and has just done one of their display this year.
@@jillenglish5878 thanks I'll check it out 😀
@@michw3755 Hi, should have put the link czcams.com/video/SaSdG9FRG7A/video.html
Hi girls, Merry Christmas from Dan in Selby, Yorkshire. Yes Castle Howard decorates each year with a different theme. I have not seen it this year so I don't know this years theme, except to say it is always magnificent. There is usually a Carol concert during the
Christmas period, but this has to be pre-booked as demand for places is high. We are experiencing a cold period (the beast from the east) so there is a little snow appearing in Yorkshire, and frost on the ground in the morning. The building on the hill, called the Temple of the Four Winds, is indeed the Howard family's mausoleum where all the deceased members are laid to rest. It is the most prominent building in the area and can be seen from miles around, whereas the house itself is a bit hidden in the hills and it comes as bit of a surprise as you approach. The fountain is the Atlas fountain, showing him holding up the globe of the world.
there are many other buildings and statues etc. scattered around the grounds which are known as 'follies' as they often have no real function or may be utilitarian structures disguised as temples etc. The purpose is to create views and give the impression of
an ancient landscape, which in fact was all created in the 18th century, when the gardener 'capability' Brown re-ordered the grounds,
building hills, damming streams to make a lake and planting thousands of trees etc. etc. so what one sees today is almost all man-made to look like 'ancient Acadia', or really an impression that the artists of the time had of the ancient world. I believe the the Castle Howard Estate comprises at least five thousand acres but it may be much more (I have not checked this but I think it about right). There used to be a real castle on a hill next to the present house, which burnt down in the 16th century, so the third Lord Howard began the new house in 1701 retaining the name castle but it really is a palace. Yorkshire is filled with similar estates though all the the houses are not quite as grand as Castle Howard many are similar but a bit smaller. Many of these estates are neighbours, in fact they continue across the whole county one after another. Most were former monastic lands given or sold by Henry XIII when he closed the monasteries down in the 1530-40's, to his friends and supporters. there had been something like
40 major monasteries and more lesser ones in Yorkshire alone, so there was much land to dispose of in this way. Some have the
actual remains of the abbeys; and castles; in their grounds, which inspired other owners to create fake ones in their own; hence the follies. Sorry that this may be a tedious read, but I thought you might like a bit of an explanation. I hope you have a very happy and peaceful Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Great video as usual ladies. Best Regards. Dan from Yorkshire.
Hello from Scotland from an ex-Goole person!
@@poppysherlock3922 Hi Poppy. I'm a Yorkshireman in Selby, but of Scottish ancestry, and lived in Edinburgh for several years. Christmas was not a big thing in Scotland years ago, because of the 'dour' Church of Scotland'. Hogmanay new year was a much greater celebration!!
@Mickyfrench Hi Micky. Dan here. I didn't have the size of Castle Howard estate to hand when I made the comment but felt it was more than you say. Does that include all the land, or only the
immediate parkland? Surely there are many more acres of farmland etc!!
@@danielferguson3784 If you ever saw the dour Hogmanays we get here in Mallaig you might change your mind! Say hello to my good friends John and Jackie in Brayton for me! (joking of course)
I'm a Jamaican living in the UK with my Czech wife and kids for the past 19 years and I find myself getting hooked on you guys reaction videos. Merry Christmas to you both 💖
We are so happy you liked the video we made and are glad we found you! You are wonderful people!❤️😘😘
Thank you!! It was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!! We couldn't get a hold of you to ask permission for use, hopefully it's ok? If so, can we react to more of your amazing videos in the future? Thank you again for such an amazing video!
Oh of course, it’s totally fine! Wishing you a lovely rest of the week.x
Love you girls, Live Americans, Love America....but I'm so proud and privileged to be a Brit!
When you think of the influence this tiny island of ours has/had around this huge globe, the ridiculous talent that is born from across the UK in so many fields, still leaves me speechless.
I'm still in awe as to how magnificent our countryside and coastal scenery is, and feel so blessed!
We are all looking forward to welcoming you lovely ladies to our shores, and hope you don't leave it too long!
Keep the lovely posts coming, they are always enjoyable!
We all
Love the intro ladies, thanks for the early morning laugh 😄
Our pleasure!
They have 'Twilight at Castle Howard ' which I think you would love. As well as the magical installation and display in the castle, the trees along the paths are festooned and lit.
Sounds PERFECT!!
Especially magical when real snow covers the landscape. Merry Christmas!
We currently have a series on here in the UK which is Castle Howard Through the Seasons. The family and staff work so hard to be creative in getting paying customers so they can keep up the repairs with this beautiful historic home. It's worth checking out the 1980's TV production of Brideshead Revisited which featured Castle Howard.
Oh yes; even if they just watch a single episode that particularly features the house, they might like seeing that....even just as something quintessentially English....albeit the upper classes....and during the 20's & 30's....so, not really quintessential then 🤔
I live about 30 mins from Castle Howard and I’ve never been 😳 I believe they have amazing rose gardens in the summer too, which I wanted to go to also.
Now I NEED to go! X
You gotta go, for us!!!
It’s very common for country houses and castles to do this these days. There’s a privately owned Elizabethan house near us (Doddington Hall) that does the most incredible Christmas decorations. One time we went and they’d recreated the forest of Narnia on the upper floors, with fairy tales in each room downstairs. Stunning. Belvoir castle (pronounced beaver btw) has a Cinderella theme this year.
My first ever school trip was to Doddington when I was 8, have very fond memories of that day, thanks for the reminder 💕
My daughter won an Afternoon tea for a family of 4 at Belvoir Castle, (St Valentine's Day card competition). It's a truly gorgeous castle, I am biased though, it's local...I live only 6 miles away.😃
This year's Doddington Hall theme was Tales of the Riverbank ...... I went it was magical ✨
Doddington Hall is about 10-15 mins away from me! There’s so many fantastic walks from there as well 😃
Castle Howard was a setting for the 1981 TV series Brideshead Revisited (one of the best TV dramas ever made). The whole thing is on youtube. so search, imbibe and enjoy!
Another beautiful country house to see at Christmas is chatsworth house.
Another great reaction to a special castle
Castle Howard, one of the largest in the UK always worth a visit. I once stayed in a caravan in a small campsite in a village near there. It was a bit misleading it was called Robinhoods Bay campsite when in fact it was about the 50 miles away.
It has a long history the Royal Family are in the family DNA. Chatsworth house also worth a visit once again Royal connections and the Fitzgerald Kennedy family. I see your visit getting longer July to December.
the small building in the grounds is probably what is known as a 'folly' usually built on the owners whim and not serving any particular purpose
Hm, an interesting and comfortable video, ladies, for which many thanks. I don't think many British CZcamsrs would think to feature an English country house as a Christmas highlight, so it was of note what US CZcams stars, such as you, find gripping. I think that the video on Christmas at Winchester is the kind of thing more UK vloggers would produce. 🎄🥳🎶
If you come over here for winter pls bring alot of warm clothes .. its real cold at the moment or at least for me as do most my work outside .. not so pleasant lol
We'll be good. We looked at our Winter vs yours and it's quite a bit colder here 🥶
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow oh right .. its 2°c here today and set to get colder lol
Hi Guys how you doing , id just like to say Natasha i can see why you love each other so much . i have been watching for a long time now and am so pleased im a patrion , you two really lift my day after work and take all of us subscribers into your hearts with such a welcome that is rare today . THANK YOU SO MUCH for being there .
That's very sweet!! Thank you ❤️ 😊
Yuletide felicitations ladies. Great video. I am not far from Castle Howard and ashamed to say I've never been. Passed it many times. Next year I'll definitely go. Merry Christmas everyone.
It's not too late to go this year
Are you Margot Leadbetter?
@@gtaylor331 I wish.😂😂
That truely was a spell binding adventure
Lovely ladies , it's where adults can be kids again if only for a few hours .🇬🇧
Just watched your video on Castle Howard at Christmas it was fantastic.
I visited Castle Howard a week ago to see this years Christmas and it was even better so magical, loved it. We go every year as it’s just an hour away from us.
Love your videos keep up the good work.
Merry Christmas to you both x
We're very jealous
This year the is theme is Fairy Tales. x
Merry Christmas ladies thank you as always,
We're getting proper wintery weather here now. I love it. Though I expect its a lot colder where you are. But everything is sparkly outside its beautiful. Hmm so your gonna need a 6 month stay. So you get summer, bonfire night christmas and new year
Its different each year .... this year the theme is " Into the woods " fairy tale lands .... will be equally beautiful and magical I'm sure
You guys really need to check out the national trust, the national trust own lots of historic buildings here in the UK some of which you can rent and use as a base for a holiday
Blind Archer to add to that if anyone wants to visit and stay in unusual properties ?
Follies, castles and even an island . Then try The Landmark Trust .
You girls are really good, your appreciation of almost everything British while remaining patriotic Americans is highly flattering ….we might even have to bestow Honorary Britishness on you both… Merry Christmas and the very best seasonal blessings on you and yours.
Hi there ladies. I used to live near Castle Howard. Beautiful, but the weather in the north of England can be brutal. That's why I live in the Algarve now.
Bom natal xx.
Nice video ladies 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Castle Howard does this every year, alot of the stately homes do. Theyre always particularly beautiful. Id have to hide in the wardrobe and move in.....or maybe id end up in the real Narnia....
You're going to have to stretch your UK trip to a year at this rate ladies!!!!
We are so lucky in Yorkshire. We live 30 minutes from Castle Howard, 7 miles from Harewood House and probably an hour from Chatsworth.
Castle Howard was used as the setting for Brideshead Revisited in the 1980s and a film called Lady L, a comedy with Paul Newman and Sophia Loren.
That would make a great Christmas card! 😂
Debbie - Hey Natasha! It looks like "rain, dear"!
What a stunning video 🤩. Thank you, Natasha and Debbie. Xx
Hi ladies, the theme this year is fairytales., There was a programme on UK TV this week showing you the behind the scenes of Christmas at Castle Howard. . How they decoate; choose the largest tree for the Hall etc etc, it was a lovely programme, check it out
Yer banter cracks me up 🤣 The castle was unreal!
I live a few miles away and am going on Monday for another Christmas visit. Can’t wait
I live in York about 14 miles from Castle Howard, this years Christmas event is called ‘Into the Woods, A Fairytale Christmas’ I’m going on the 21st I’ll let you know about it it always spectacular xx
I think the BBC or ITV recently did a documentary looking behind the scenes of how they put this together, and having been to castle Howard for a Shirley Bassey concert I can say it is a lovely place to visit. Also listening to them talk I would say that the husband is German but she is definitely English.
I live very near Castle Howard. It's a beautiful house but at Christmas it comes alive. This year is even better than last year. Amazing🎅🎄🎁⛄☃️
I was utterly bamboozled by the whole video, thank you for sharing this magical time with us all. x
The main tree is brought in by the groundstaff. Every year they seem to try and outdo themselves for the size and majesty of the tree
Love the intro!Admittedly I'm recovering from surgery arm but this actually made me cry.Those decorations...the music...that sweet couple.Thankyou xx
Hi my lovelies what a fabulous video Castle Howard is a magnificent home and the theme was amazing this year it's Into The Woods xx
Castle Howard is 20 miles from my home, I usually visit once a year. The house are grounds are really beautiful.
There was a documentary on the house through the seasons this year, it mentioned that "The Narnia Experience" cost £400,000 to stage.
Thanks girls, that was lovely🎉
My family and I went to this display last Christmas and it was every bit amazing as in the video. We have tickets for this years theme, "Into The Woods: A Fairy Tale Christmas", for 20th December to really kick-off our Christmas.
It's built on the site of a village founded by the Danish vikings which was razed to build what you see today. The same family still owns it. It had its own train station on the York to Scarborough line which is still there but is not used anymore.
There are many large estates in the area, but nothing like this.
Absolutely stunning, MERRY CHRISTMAS beautiful people N n D 🎄😊💛
Lovely video. We live about an hour from Castle Howard and took my sister and brother in law to this last Christmas and it was really magical. You would need to visit several times to just see all the detail in each room. I think the theme for this year in Into the Woods. The small building they visited is often called a ‘folly’ and these are usually built just to look good in this kind of landscape at stately homes. But some, like this one, we’re also used for dining with guests and there is a small cellar hidden underneath for food preparation.
Watch the Christmas lights at Warwick Castle your mind will be blown.
Can't wait till you both come over here.
Merry Christmas girlies. Another great video. How beautiful was that. I love Christmas and love decorating our house. This year we are not putting everything up as we are selling up to move. Loved seeing your faces, Debbie was like glowing with excitement whilst Natasha was full of awe. Loved your reaction girlies xx
It has just under 9,000 acres. HOWEVER...there is a house in Cheshire called Tatton Park that has a couple of thousand acres and once upon a time (The Eighteenth Century, to be precise) had grounds that were 251,000 acres!!! That's almost 400 square miles of garden! Pretty much 1/3 of the entire county! Manchester Airport is built in part of what was once the garden of Tatton Park & in WWII, there was an airfield and parachute training centre in the garden!! I've had the pleasure of hosting concerts there a few times & working at the flower show & it is an incredible place...and actually, the house is not so ridiculously big that you couldn't imagine living in it!
In summer they used to hold outdoor classical concerts in front of the lake, with the castle behind you, with a firework crescendo after dark. You’d take a picnic and chairs and a few bottles and spend an amazing afternoon and evening being entertained. Not sure if they still do it, but it’s a great experience.
I live next door my son was on this years documentary. The whole area is an area of outstanding natural beauty, the Howardian Hills. They are a large estate. We farm next door and have one of the central shoot drives on our land which is the back bone of their whole shoot. So definitely visit Yorkshire, we are friendly but straight talking. But the castle is gobsmacking.
You need to watch a British film....'A Very Yorkshire Christmas'......think you will love it !!!! Great watching you guys !! MERRY CHRISTMAS 🤶 🎄
This year's theme is called Into The Forest:A Fairy Tale Christmas..designed by the same artist as the Narnia theme...🎄🎄🎄😊🇬🇧
Castle Howard is not far from me... As a child I was taken there many times on a SUNDAY DRIVE and for me it was magical and spooky.... As an adult it is simply MAGNIFICENT
Beautiful. Leeds Castle (not in Leeds but Nr Maidstone in Kent) near where I grew up does an excellent festive Christmas decorations each year. The year we went the theme was The Nutcracker and it was stunning.
They do a big Guy Fawkes as well. It's basically in my back garden.
This video has inspired me to spend the energy to decorate.
Dear Natasha & Debbie, "Merry Christmas to you both!" I love watching your vlogs/posts! You are both so funny & I love your reactions! Compliments of the Season to you & enjoy all the festivities! Kind Regards & Sláinte Mhath 2023 from a South African living in "Bonnie Scotland!" 🎄❄️🎁🎅🤶🧑🎄🇿🇦🏴 🥳❤
The small building is a folly
What's a folly? 🤔
A folly is a building with no real use other than to look picturesque. They are often built at the end of a long vista to draw the eye.
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow A folly is a building or other structure with no practical purpose.
@@william6682 thanks for the info everyone!
Hi Debbie and Natasha! I live not too far from Castle Howard and have been many times - the house and grounds are beautiful no matter what time of year. The whole area, North Yorkshire, is full of gems, particularly if you stray from the well-trodden tourist track. Wonderful to see your reactions to the UK in general - you'll both have a great time when you get over here.
The Howard family have lived here for generations. I think 1,000 acres are open to the public, but the estate is much larger.
My daughter works at The Alnwick Garden in Northumberland which is part of Alnwick Castle. Every year the do a light trail around the garden at Christmas. It gets better each year. Unfortunately they close the castle to visitors in the winter as the family come home.
I went to visit castle howard for my birthday also the grounds are also stunning so much to see and yes the uk is a great place to be at Christmas even through its very cold here today 😂
And happy Christmas to you ❤️🎄🎉🥳🏴
Hi guys thought youd love to know this years Castle Howards theme is "Into the Woods" the Sondheim musical so itll be forest, woodland animals, etc etc...
Hiyagirls,the Intro🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, Natasha your reaction was priceless!!!!!!!
This is so good they are so much fun never known they did that there a Must go see places in the UK for Christmas.
Magical! I have been to Castle Howard but not at Christmas. It is a magnificent place any time of the year. Loving Debbie's sparkly jumper ✨️ xx
You should see the Christmas decorations at Blenhieme Palace and grounds they are stupendous!
I totally agree. I watched the program on tv last night. Blown away by it so I will now book to go asap.
Love watching you ladies..the smiles on your faces were wonderful to see..C.S.Lewis was indeed a magical writer..he had a sad life which I'm sure as fans you are aware of...look forward to Sunday's video 🇬🇧💞✝️🙏🎁🎅🎄❄🇺🇸
Lovely video ladies. You two lovelies put me in the Christmas spirit even before the video you really are a tonic. A lot of stately homes in the UK do a similar thing and I've visited a few at Christmas and they are all as stunning as castle Howard. Chatsworth House which us not far from me is exquisite I would say this is the jewel of stately homes i always take my visitors here, it's my go to place especially if I want to impress any foreign guests. A very Happy Christmas to you both from Cheshire 😑🎄🎁
Pmsl natasha face when she put on reindeer antlars 🤣🤣🤣🙈 priceless
Castle Howard was the main residence in the 12 part TV series "Brideshead Revisited". Well worth checking out. (It starred Anthony Andrews & Jeremy Irons)
Did you girls know British regiments where recruited by county the famous regiment from Yorkshire castle Howard was the Green Howard's the first VC on D day was won by a green Howard, my regiment was the Durham light infantry
I've been looking through all your videos since I found your channel and subscribed. I watched this Castle Howard video when it was first shown and it was lovely to see it again. I'm also subscribed to Kirsten and Joerg's channel and their Christmas videos are always lovely. They sometimes make me a bit teary!
Loved the intro lovely ladies. Debbie I initially thought you were playing bagpipes😂
Just wanted to say that lots of stately and historic homes put on special displays at Christmas so when you come over you'll be spoilt for choice (but be warned you do have to book very far in advance)
That was pure magic, thank you ladies l would love to visit there, i live. In the North West not far, also Chatsworth house, does this as well , and it is stunning also,
You two are refreshingly nuts - the reindeer hoopla thing at the beginning - I think the marmite adverts and general British eccentricity is rubbing off on you :)
Merry Christmas to you both xx
Something you Ladies might be interested in, on channel 4 uk, last night they showed Christmas at Blenheim Palace, absolutely fantastic.
The house and grounds are decorated with magic lighting. i hope you can find it. X
Hi ladies, I went to the Narnia exhibition last year. It was even more magical than how it came across on the video. And Debbie they have a great gift shop!!!
Bamboozled is a good way to describe how I felt watching this absolutely beautiful vid. It was so stunningly captivating it brought a tear to my eye.
Nice!!!!
Nice hat 😂😂
Bah humbug
What a charming couple, and so nice to see Castle Howard dressed for Christmas!
I spent my time watching this spotting the references to the Narnia books
I was born in Selby Yorkshire although I have lived in NZ for over 40 years. However I still feel a proprietary connection to CastleHoward and the Howard family. Lol
She has a really nice voice, I would never guess she's German!
It looks like Castle Howard have a different theme every year, but I imagine they are as good as each other. I'll get there someday...when the pull of other countries diminishes enough for me to want to travel to areas in my homeland that I haven't visited yet!
That was beautiful girls thank you if you like this try to watch the one at Blenheim palace it is amazing the light displays around the grounds will blow your minds take care sending love from England x x
Having been to Castle Howard at Christmas I can say they really know how to make it look spectacular with a different tree in every room before you even get to all the other decorations throughout the house (and grounds).
I absolutely love your choice of videos. Almost everything I've seen from you two is different to what everyone else reacts to. Thank you so much.
I hope you both have a blessed, great and happy Christmas.
That was absolutely stunning. A real winter wonderland. Thanks for sharing ladies. Merry Christmas to you both too
Merry Christmas!
I did indeed love it!!! I love the Chronicles Of Narnia & C.S. Lewis!!! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!
You are killing me with the intros hahaahahhhahha. Love you mis mujeres hermosas
Gracias!!! Contento de que te haya gustado!

Always look forward to your reaction videos. So happy this month is a bumper month with extra viewings. Stay fabulous ladies :)
