American Advent Calendars I Can't Believe ARE REAL as an Immigrant 

I would’ve been absolutely heated if I spent 50 dollars on that birthday calendar. 18 gummies and a dry ass cookie?! 😤

I’m crying watching Raphael opening each door of the birthday calendar and finding 3 gummies 😂😂

I... can't. I just can't. This popcorn calendar is everything I want for Christmas for the next 5 years. I see literally NO problem with making it myself + you would get literally THREE PIECES OF POPCORN every day if it was already ready to eat. It's just no way they could put already cooked popcorn in the calendar of this size.

I thought he was just gonna put a tiny dot of the hot sauce on his finger but nah, homie took it down like a shot. 😂😂😂 I hope you weren’t in too much pain the next morning Rapha 😂😂

I scream laughed every time Raphael said "3 gummies"🤣🤣 But on a serious note tho... The review I would've written if I paid $50 for some gummies and a cookie😤😤

The popcorn calendar has a smart packaging cause you get a lot more than if the popcorn was cooked

The popcorn one would be perfect for someone with a popcorn machine. You can put corn kernels in a brown paper bag and microwave until the popping stops. I imagine you'd get 5-6 pieces if they had included popped corn so this way is probably more satisfying if you enjoy freshly popped popcorn 🍿

Rapha, the popcorn one, how would they get tiny baggies of fully popped popcorn into each little square, it would be so horrendously stale and gross, at least this one you can make it fresh and flavor it with so many choices!

Advent calendar videos from Raphael are somehow my most favourite ones haha

The birthday countdown advent calender had me CRYING. 😂

The popcorn one is actually quite Fun. You can make popcorn on a stovetop. A Fun christmas movie every other night and a bowl of freshly poped popcorn 😍😁

The popcorn one is actually pretty cool. I don't have the energy to use a pan to cook it that often but it's actually pretty interesting and I think the different corn does effect the taste. I would enjoy the video reviewing how they are.

I don’t know of any other RU-vid channel that is as custom made for me as your content. Thank you for all these videos lately. Love you Rapha and Salem.

I was surprised you were so upset by the popcorn one. You seem to enjoy snacks! I thought it was the best one of the bunch. Like many others have said, you can microwave that popcorn 🍿 . Some of the spice blends sounded very yummy! Thanks for entertaining us💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚

Me over here waiting for freeze dried peaches, lychee, or apricots and not seeing them. They definitely could have replaced some of the doubles with those.

Oh. Oh my! You had me in tears over the ‘three gummies’ comments after each day, 😂. I would love the freeze dried fruit/veggie or teas, so cool! We had the terrible chocolate ones growing up. I love your videos!! Cheers from Turkey 🎉

Raphael doing the birthday advent calendar in absolutely no order at all but believing he was going in order left me traumatized lol. 7,2,3,4,6,5,1

The freeze dried snack one actually looks wierdly good/interesting. As an American all the European fruit we can't get was kind of exciting.

I LOVE the popcorn calendar! I only make popcorn on my stove in a pot and this would be perfect. I have a reason to make popcorn every other day. Bonus! You do need to make these. I use peanut oil in a pot with a lid that I only use for popcorn. You can try each of the flavors and describe.

I love the popcorn one! You should get an air popper. So easy! Melt butter and toss it and then put on a seasoning. This was hilarious! Thanks Raphe!

Love this!! Hoping you will do that $1000 Advent Calendar again this year, that was CRAZY lol. I have spent about $1200 on Advent Calendars this year for my mom and myself. My sister passed away so the holidays can be tough. I wanted to mom mom to look forward to every day leading up to Christmas. I bought about 14 different ones this year, but none of these lol!!

With the dried fruit calendar, every single should you opened I was on the edge of my seat like "where's the pineapple?" I love freeze dried pineapple! YUMMY YUMMY! Also, freeze dried mandarin oranges...I buy those from a different company in big packs. They are so tasty and so tart. They disintegrate in your mouth and have such a great flavor. I absolutely LOVE this idea for an advent calendar!!! P/S- you have to try egg nog. It's an acquired taste, but if you get the right brand it is perfectly spiced DELICIOUS!!!

This year I bought myself the Bonne Maman advent calendar. It has 23 limited edition fruit spreads and 1 honey. They also included 2 teas to promote their new teas. The jams have flavors like apple, caramel, and cinnamon; mango, raspberry, lime; strawberry with star anise; pear with cocoa nibs. I’m really excited to try them.

You can make those popcorn kernels in the microwave! Buy brown paper bags, put the corn in the bag, then cook in the microwave. I don't believe they need any oil, but I recommend googling it a bit.

Wow, that birthday advent calendar is as exciting as a napkin!

I am literally obsessed with your long interesting videos, more power to you Raphael!

The popcorn advent calendar was so cool! I know I’d be excited to make each one and try the seasonings.

The Lingonberry is what they use for the Preserves they have with IKEA Swedish meatballs

Just letting you know that I love your videos and your impish personality. I’m a 45 woman living in the UK, so probably not your expected audience, but I think you are awesome! I love watching you open the advent calendars as I get to see some that I probably wouldn’t normally get to see. Have a great Christmas Hun and I look forward to seeing your videos in the New Year 😊

I saw an advent calendar for dogs last year. A different treat every day. That was the only food-related advent calendar I've been tempted to buy

Actually lots of people love popcorn. This calendar is amazing also along with the freeze dried one. Just put a little vegetable oil in the bottom of a pan and get a lid and after a minute put in the kernels and put on the lid and once they start to pop listen and when you start hearing breaks in the popping you will notice once it stops popping then you dump it into a bowl and you can then pour on melted butter if you want and sprinkle with the flavor of your choice. Lots of love from Michigan ❤️ p.s. eggnog is absolutely incredible.

Am I the only one who thinks the popcorn one is actually really cool? 😂 i love making popcorn at home

I love how pissed you look when you open the popcorn advent calendar. I would LOVE this calendar !! I would have been pissed if the popcorn was cooked... With the size of the bags, you would have.... 4 popcorns ? ahah Can i buy it from you ?? Im from Canada ahah Thanksssss

Freeze dried fruit is AMAZING! Beet root isn't a fruit, but it's really healthy? 🤷🏼‍♀️😂❤️ I literally am sitting here eating freeze dried strawberries as I'm typing this! 🙃😋💓 I was born and raised in America, but my family heritage is Scottish/British, so we actually had Walker's around quite a bit. I love them! ❤️❤️

Raphael opening up the birthday one is funny af!!!😂😂😂 The way he said atleast 4 gummies 😂😂 ROFL

I would absolutely Love the popcorn calendar! I make popcorn on the stove at least 3 times a week! And that dill pickle powder, HECK YEAH!

I wish you compared the 2 different strawberries and blueberries in the freeze dried advent calendar🥺 maybe you can do that in a tiktok?

I was having bad day but now I feel better! Thanks for bringing joy to our life! Love ya!

The freeze dried fruits are from Lithuania, didn't knew they were selling this already in the USA

6:10 This one is made and found in Lithuania, and is amazing if you want an healthy advent calendar for your kids.😊

This is by far my most anticipated video of yours every year!!! Loving it!

I was hoping there were some freeze dried raisins, because we all know how you feel about raisins. Always enjoy you Raphael. I hope you are happy here.😊😊😊😊

the night time tea being on christmas eve makes perfect sense if you think about it because your excited about christmas so you can't sleep, this tea should help

I laughed so much about the Gummie bears 😂😂😂

popcorn one was lowkey a 12 day advent calendar with 1 pack of kernel and 1 pack of seasoning ..raph opened it wrong .. lol love him ♥️♥️♥️

7:01 Rapha's description of the taste of freeze-dried beetroot heralds the true heights of his comedic genius. 😂

Super loved this video. The freeze dried "fruits" calendar was the most interesting to me. Love you Rapha

This gave me such a good laugh after a long week so far. Thank you for being light and radiating joy!!🤗✨

Thank You for another wonderful video. I loved all the calendars and would purchase them for my family, except for the Birthday one. Yes, Walkers is available in the states and they are my favorite shortbread cookie as well. ❤ I cannot wait to see your video on how you use the popcorn and the seasonings.

omg the birthday calendar was such a letdown and waste of money! Can you make a vid tasting all the popcorns? Also i wish you'd tasted and described all the freeze dried fruit. I so want that calendar but amazon won't deliver it to New Zealand!

That last Walkers cookie looked less like a Ouija Board planchette and more like a Star Trek communicator to me. 8D Thanks for another fun video, Raphi!

Your reaction to everything makes this video 10 times better 😂 keep being you! 😌

I think you should pop the popcorn and use the spices and give us your take on it! 😊 Thank you Raphael

I love love love all the american content! Keep it up! I have been fascinated by all things USA since forever and it is great experiencing them through you!

I made an advent calendar box for my brother this year. It's full of weird nostalgic items. I think I'm more excited than he is for him to open each day. ❤️😁❤️ Thanks for the video! I love advent calendars.

If you’re a popcorn lover, you’d always have popcorn readily available at home. So natural popcorn kernels to pop and the next day pop plain popcorn from your own pantry tossed with seasoning. Cute idea (but they should hide like a bottle of popcorn in the trunk or something). Cool video idea 🧸🎄🙏💕

The birthday calendar had me crying from laughing so much!

I never bought Advent calendars. I used to make customized countdowns for my niece when she was little. Her favorite was an owl's nest, made with a basket, greenery, a feather boa, and an owl ornament. Freeze dried corn is common, and can be bought at any Dutch market. My grandfather made creamed corn with it. If you have a Trader Joe's near you, they have freeze dried grapes and cantaloupe, too.

Every time he would exclaim "It's corn!" That tiktok song popped into my head. The big lump with knobs, it has the juice, it has the juice, I can't imagine a more beautiful thing

Rapha you are a breath of fresh air! I just love you. You give us the best content of anyone❤

Raphael you're one of the best product reviewers ever. Your feedback is honest and can help the brands improve themselves. Also, your ideas are pretty original. Thank you, it's always nice to watch you. You still haven't lost your sense of wonder. I ❤ you.

Albino Blueberrry!!! I died 😂 I think Salem needs a middle name now!

Best advent calendar reviews ever! Tears of laughter over 3 gummies was no joke at 5am .. merry Christmas Raphael!

Haha cherries are in season here in Australia and they are 100% part of my families christmas tradition! 🍒 🎄

We love the frequent uploads! Thanks for doing this Rapha!!

22:13 i couldn't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣 its like on the 3rd one its as if you received the same Christmas present for the 3rd time, trying to be okay wit it 😂😂😂😂😂

"Elderberry... I'm sure I have it freeze dried somewhere" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I would actually love to see you make a video where you make the popcorn and try them

Yes, would love to see a video of you making and tasting all the popcorn!🥰

Cherries are very much a Christmas fruit in Australia since its summer down here!

I would love the popcorn one. We have popcorn every Saturday for movie night. We have so many seasonings. Trying new kinds of popcorn sounds fun. Btw, we use an air popper. You spray the popcorn with butter to get the seasonings to stick.

The tea calendar is just an amazing idea and I like it! But maybe just because I'm a huge fan of tea haha The corn one is ridiculous, you can't even cook them the same day because you have to wait for their seasoning lol but still better than the birthday cake one 😂

Raphael never fails on posting holiday videos every year❤

The 'turkey' shortbread is actually a thistle - national flower of Scotland!

These past few weeks has been really fun for me, watching you upload one video after another. I find it really entertaining and exciting as I watch your videos. Thank you Rapha for always making my day 😊❤ keep it up!

I absolutely love your reactions! I spent my 30 min work lunch with you today! Thank you for being so honest and making my day! Merry Christmas! 🎁🎄❤️

The reaction to the popcorn calendar was great! I would love that popcorn calendar personally but it needs to come with a popcorn maker or at least a coupon for one 🤣

Freeze dried fruit is so good! That one sounds delicious. Make the popcorn! I think you can microwave it in a brown paper bag or there's a special container you could get. Or on the stove of course ❤️

Love this video…please make one where you taste test all. We need your descriptive taste buds😂 Lots of love💕

I love your Advent Calendar videos!!! This one didn't disappoint! ❤️

Loving that you're posting a lot of long videos they are my favorite 💗

Of course we want to see the popcorn! 😅❤️🍿

I want to see the popcorn! Like rating each flavor from 1-10!

You would love a popcorn machine! You plug it in and it takes only a few minutes! Then you melt some butter, pour it over the popcorn, and then put the seasoning on!

I would be so happy with that freeze dried fruit calendar lol I actually got my mam the tea one last year they do tea selection boxes too

A video from you is just what I need right now!! ❤️

That popcorn is a WONDERFUL one. I gave on to my daughter and she loved it. You open the bag, pour it in a sandwich bag like you get at a fast food place. Fold over the top to close the bag. No oil. Just put it in the microwave and push the popcorn button. It's fabulous.

Your creativity in designing is amazing. You are very talented Ra!

After a long 5 hours of studying i truly needed this. Thank you for this amazing content 💕

My daughter and i bought the tea advent calendar, one for each of use, they have a red one and a green one so we bought one of each. We are very excited

I like the popcorn one cuz I have an air-popcorn maker and I pop a lot of corn. And if u don't have a machine then just pop it on the stove or another way. Super easy.

There is blackcurrant, red currant and white currant (they grow in like same kind of bushes, just different colors. I live in Finland and most people grow atleast one kind on their yards)

The popcorn calender is the best one!! I can't believe you don't like it! I refuse, will not eat microwave popcorn! The seasonings are great but all the different types of popcorn would have me beyond excited. I missed where you got this from. Leave it to say I would buy 2 for my self. Saturday is my birthday & this is the perfect birthday gift & the perfect Christmas gift for me! I'm sorry you don't like it.

1. SHAME ON WILLIAMS-SONOMA for that sorry excuse of a celebration calendar! It's reprehensible for a company famous for quality foods/cookware to think 3 tough gummies & a sawdust cookie that could break your teeth is acceptable! 2.Your reaction to the popcorn calendar was HILARIOUS! It would have been nice for the company to print cooking instructions on the back for those who might need them. 3. Your broken star-shaped shortbread reminded me of the com badges from Star Trek! May you & Salem live long & prosper!

Raph cracks me up, the three gummies had me sceaminggggg!!

Im really looking forward whatever antics you have in store for December :D

I'd be good with the popcorn calendar. If the popcorn was already popped it would get stale. And take up more space

I was waiting for this year's advent calendar video So hqppy to see one ❤️❤️❤️ Please make a video on Christmas unique dessert ideas from tiktok or reels ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥳

Your disappointment with the popcorn one was hilarious🤣 I feel like at some point in one of your food gadget videos you have to have gotten some type of popcorn maker for the microwave?😂

i loved the popcorn one! you get a lot more than you would have if it had been already popped and all those seasonings sound amazing! please make a video trying them!
