CHRISTMAS IN RUSSIA: New year’s traditions you MUST follow if you came to Russia 

Just discovered this channel and going through the backlog. As an American I’m praying for the Russian people and Slavic peoples more broadly. I hope you all have a speedy resolution to your troubles.

Can't figure out why this young lady has such a small subscriber base. The algorithm referred me to her and I am glad it did. She is funny, pleasant personality and interesting. Excellent content. Keep up the good work!

Russian Christmas reminds me of how American Christmas used to be.

I am from Moldova but moved to America, I still follow all of these traditions on new years! It is so much fun!

Love your videos, they are really informative and professionally done. Russia looks like a wonderful place.👍🇬🇧❤️🇷🇺

Amazing video! I'd really like to attend at the Russian celebration of New Year and Christmas (we Serbs celebrate it also on 7th the January) next year of 2022 (I may go to Master studies in Moscow). Greetings from Serbia 🇷🇸, Nesty 😊

You must watch It’s a Wonderful Life. It was made in the 1940’s after WW2 and is a great movie. It comes on every year at Christmas time. As I have gotten older it has more meaning to me and is very touching. I plan to watch Irony of Fate this year. Love your videos. Love and thanks from United States.

Hello im a fan from Philippines, im love watching your videos, they are all entertaining and educational at the sametime. and also you are so beautiful. I suggest you to content something about Philippines. and i'm sure a lot of our Filipino people will notice you.

Here in the Deep South of America (at least where I live) we celebrate New Years with going out to parties & we count down the New Year. At midnight, you toast the new year and kiss the date that came with you. On New Years Day, we eat cornbread, black eyed peas, and collard greens. This is to ensure a prosperous and healthy new year.

When Ber months arrived, we Filipinos celebrated the Longest Christmas around the globe. When September 1 arrives, our malls and large establishments playing Christmas songs. Merry Christmas in Filipino is "Maligayang Pasko" Hope you experience our Christmas here in the Philippines.. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Very interesting! Thank you for giving us a beautiful picture of Russian Christmas.

Hello from Scotland. You're video just popped up, I've now subscribed. Looks like a lovely holiday session, its interesting to see how others do things. Our family have it around the 21st after the longest night to welcome the turn in the sessions, more a pagan tradition . Take care and keep up the lovely videos.

In Venezuela and LATAM, we usually make big parties with friends and family, with a lot of music, food, beer, dancing and all that stuff, sometimes they last two days, those parties are hilarious and crazy xD. Of course, we also used to gather each other and eat together, make wishes for the New Year. I think New Year's Even is one of the most funny and beautiful celebration.

Very interesting to know all this! Thank you very much for sharing!

In UK we have a traditional Xmas movie "Scrooge" which was by Charles Dickens about a mean old man who gets taught about how to be a nicer person at Xmas,its really scary with ghosts but with a happy ending.

Thanks really good, so loved go there wonderful Christmas experience , so much better than York North Yorkshire Christmas Market x

In the caribbean we can go out and celebrate in the streets, because there is no cold weather. Most people like to put on loud music for the whole block to enjoy. People are drinking lots of beer and other alcoholic beverages, getting drunk, dancing caribbean music and they keep it up until the next day, in some cases the party can go on for several days. In my country we eat "natilla" and "buñuelos" is a common tradition on december 24th and 31st. The children only get presents the 24th. Love your videos and agree that your personality is very attractive. Greetings from Colombia

Nice Chanel, I’m enjoying it.

Thank you for making this video. 🙏

Not to mention fireworks for 8 days straight. Well not now but before. Spent 2 new years in Russia loved it.

Great job Nesty - thanks :)

All I want for Christmas is Nesty! 🎅🤶

Давно мне не попадались подобные видео, как будто с родным человеком поговорил)

С большим удовольствием пересмотрела снова это видео 📹!! Пасибки, Агент Нести)

Wow, the streets are so beautiful because it is being shown by the most beautiful Russian herself. Jokes apart you are doing an amazing work . I am so fortunate to see your content driven videos. Keep up the good work dear. Lots of love and respect from India.

They still play Gentlemany Udachi? Klass!!! I love Home alone brings back many awesome memories. Rostovchan is New Yorka!

As a Russian watching this I’m very happy people can learn more about this so when I say I don’t celebrate Christmas I don’t have to explain grandpa frost and why I still decorated

Was New Year always the biggest celebration in Russia? Thank you for keeping on. Merry Christmas and have a great New Year.

Smart girl. 😘

I love your content you have so much charisma!!! you can conquer the world for sure

Такие приятные воспоминания❤ Прекрасное новогоднее видео Настя! Кстати меня тоже так зовут, успехов в канале❤

❤❤🌷 Нести, с Новым годом (2023)... лучше поздно, чем никогда.❗️❗️🌷🌷🌷

0:35 thats called foreshadowing

Very interesting video Nesty. I used to go to Sydney, Australia in the 1990's, every Christmas and New Year. I would watch the fireworks going off on the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Most of life was in New Zealand. It is summer now in Southern Hemisphere, so We would go to the beach on Christmas Day. My burning paper wish is for more of your videos and that you will remain safe and beautiful.

Привет я из Америки. My apologies that’s about as much as I can speak at the moment, other than a few random words. The thing I’m impressed by, is the culture and the traditions. It seems that most American traditions that are widespread are very shallow and were created over the last 80 to hundred years. I hope you are blessed and find this coming new year an amazing new Adventure. Пока пока

Thank you for introducing your traditions ! love it so much. Very nice refreshing vlog. 👍😊🤍❄

Charming. Well done.

Many thanks, I have just had an idea of using your videos to teach foreigners bits of Russian traditions and to teach my Russian students English 😉

My family on new year as soon as it strikes 12 we open a door or window to let the old year out and the new year in.

christmas was also celebrated in december in russia but there was a different callendar, the gregorian

Omg they are just the cutest 😍😍🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️

❤ beautiful

🌲Tsar Peter the Great copied the tradition of fir greenery in Europe and in 1700 asked his compatriots to decorate the holiday table with fir branches and the New Year was celebrated for the first time🎆. After Peter's death, such rituals fell into oblivion again, until Alexandra Fyodorovna, the wife of Tsar Nicholas I, breathed new life into them a whole century later, albeit at Christmas. 🎀The German, born Friederike Luise Charlotte Wilhelmine von Prussia in Potsdam in 1798, introduced the custom at court of decorating tables with arrangements made of fir branches.🎄On her initiative, the first Christmas tree was set up in the Anichkov Palace in St. Petersburg in 1819. The first public "Jolka" could be admired in 1852 in the building of what was then the Yekaterinen railway station (today Moscow railway station) in St. Petersburg. From then on, it also spread to the provinces, especially in cities with a strong German diaspora. The Christmas tree is a German tradition and is now a tradition in Russia, America and many countries. Best Wishes to the world from Germany🎁🎁

Love you Happy new year

Amazing video happy Christmas

better late than never , great video. l hope you make it Moscow soon to see fireworks.

Catching up on your video catalog (from better times). I've got to suggest adding 2 more American Christmas movies to your watch list: 1> "We're no Angels"- 1958 with Humphrey Bogart - (It's a sweet comedy) , and 2> of course "A Christmas Story" - 1983. I hope this upcoming Christmas will be worthy of the innocence & happiness in those films.

awesome

Very nice....!

Christmas celebration looks very festive

#Celebrate!! ≽ܫ≼

My wife's Slav roots show through, if she had her way Christmas and New years would be 2 months long.

Yes…she be awesome

We eat back-eyed peas at new years not sure where this tradition comes from but it's sapose to bring prosperity

Agent Nesty is pretty. ❤

Great content. Love your accent. 🍁

Amazing ms

Did a double Nesty today, sorry. Well, have you ever watched Dinner for one around that time ? Cant count how often I watched. Many thanks for your infos and crazieness. Like your humor. CU

I Just Discovered Your You Tube Channel Today. I Love It. It's Awesome & Fantastic. Thankyou So Very Much For Posting This Video. God Bless Russia & God Bless You.

Fascinating ✨

Hey btw, your Santa Claus looks WAY cooler!

Oh! My husband has not told me about making a wish and drinking it. I will have to try this tradition! Fun!

In UK we send someone outdoors at 11.59pm on 31/12 then let them back in on the stroke of midnight.But in Russia it seems more fun.

Смотрю, уже зная что там будет)

Hi Nesti, I liked the video, very beautiful place where you live, God bless you, Merry Christmas 🎄 I'm from Brazil, you're a happy girl, friendly, kind, affectionate, beautiful, who brings joy in your videos, keep it up, stay with Jesus, success👍

That was interesting. I’m Canadian.

You make a very nice snow maiden ;)

Красивая волжаночка, с наступающим и рождеством, симпатяга.

My absolute favorite Russian movie is "Irony of Fate or Enjoy Your Bath". The one where a Russian bachelor - a doctor by profession - gets undetected on a plane bound for St. Petersburg, instead of his friend not flying as planned... Well. The doctor was only going to return in the evening by taxi to his mother's apartment in Moscow. But he gets to his future wife's apartment at the same address with his own keys, where her boyfriend Ippolit will "fall from a great height and hurt his wing". I've watched it many times over the years and I never get tired of it.

💖

1:07 I didn't expect that in this kind of vlog and also from u T_T HAHAHAHAHAHAA

My mum and dad are both Russian but they moved to Australia before I was born. So we celebrate Christmas on the 25th but my birthday is on January 7th and my mum always calls me a Christmas baby.

This Cutie is too cute

❤

I can't believe why you have such a small family I wish God and you hardwork give 100 million subscribers to you ❤❤😅😅 love you crush

Christmas and New Year have evolved from my childhood in the fifties. Christmas was not a public holiday until 1958, so my dad went work and I can remember this. Scotland had an odd attitude to festivities, and having been strict Calvanists it changed and started to be mainstream, and got on board with commercialising a religious festival. My dad had said there was an unwritten law that the Scots were on duty at Christmas and the rest were on duty at New Year in the British army. So never try to contact anyone in the army on Chistmas day as you will get greenkeeper Willie from the Simpsons.(Promise you wont use that intel' Agent Nastya). During most of my life there was the Queens speech to the Commonwealth which fate arranged that i would never see. The main event was Hogmanay when i would meet my cousins for a drink and some pub games then home for food music and some dancing neighbours would drop round for an hour or two and things would calm down about 2-5 when folk went home to their house. But depending on the day New Year landed similar parties happened for two three days afterwards for catchup. There was a few menu items that were usually available, hot lamb broth, a one pot (stovies)- potato, onion and chopped sausage combo that warmed people who would have walk in the cold to get there, shortbread and a fruitcake that had more calories than rocket fuel. Needless to say Whisky and other drinks were freeflowing....except my mother who hated booze and nursed a small sherry the entire evening until she sloshed it down the sink at the end of the evening. As a student in a student town there were lots of parties and lots of ideas that didnt work out. So on new year it was quite possible to find a crate of beer 24cans in a telephone kiosk. It had probably been an over ambitious party goer with 48cans who decided that maybe he couldnt carry quite as much as he thought. I found an unopened bottle of whisky in a similar state the next year, so remember in the land of the blind drunk the not so drunk man is king. These days new year has been homogenised, organised and marginalized.

According to my count you mentioned the word celebration(s) 13 times.Happy New Year from the Netherlands.

🎉 ❤

Irony of Fate is an awesome move!

My Tisulsky Princess ... I love you! 😘❤

i think nesty would be a great bond girl.

What new year gifts are popular? Best luck! Thanks for good video! /love from sweden

Happy

Thats like 99% same in Poland

Russia 🥰

coisa boa tu vai ver na pascoa😂😂😂😮😮😅😅

merry christmas, nesty! i can't help but wish i was your present next year! one of the traditions on new year in north california is to take your pistol, rifle, shotgun or автомат outside and at midnight, fire a few bullets into the air. guess that don't happen much there.

From Montreal. All my best wishes... Hope you the top of the top, with peace and liberty, love and health. Great content. You are clever and funny. Which is a lot

Could you share this for current year also... ???

Molodetz snigurichky!!

What i would like to see from a Russian vlogger is about the Matrioshka dolls.

Try the movie. A Christmas story it's a really big movie in America you'll like it promise

I think she filmed this on Leningradskaya in Samara.

Iya iya suka

You need to watch the movie A Christmas Story.

👋

Новый год и Рождество самые клёвые праздники 😘❤

You forgot one very important tradition cabbage & porker or pork & saurkraut or pork sausage ( polish sausage usually, kielbasa). The New Years supper must have some version of pork and cabbage to bring you good luck. ( probably fat hogs and large heads of cabbage in the new year, cabbage has vitamin C which protects against colds and flu) Other than that we stay home and watch TV and/or You Tube. We may watch the ball drop in Times Square in New York City. Other families go out to a restaurant or bar to celebrate forgetting that New Years is the best time to die from getting hit (either hitting your car or by getting ran over by a car) by a drunk car driver. I may have a Black & Tan or a heavy ale ( B & T = 1/2 porter mixed with 1/2 beer)
