This Dutch Holiday Tradition Blew Our Minds! | Sinterklaas and Pakjesavond

🎁 We celebrated our first real Sinterklaas and Pakjesavond in the Netherlands — and WOW, this holiday is so much bigger (and sweeter!) than we ever imagined. As Americans, we had no idea how many traditions go into December 5th: the arrival of Sinterklaas, the nightly Sinterklaasjournaal, shoes filled with carrots, chocolate letters, poems, surprises, and of course… Pakjesavond. And yes — Mark got his very first Sinterklaas Surprise, made just for him. Things did not go as planned... In this video, we break down exactly how the Dutch celebrate Sinterklaas, with all the fun, chaos, snacks, and cultural confusion included. 0:00 – Intro 00:17 – Who is Sinterklaas? 01:11 – The Arrival of Sinterklaas 02:10– The Sinterklaasjournaal 02:52 – Writing to Sinterklaas & Putting Out Shoes 05:13 – The Sinterklaas Surprise 08:01 – The Sinterklaas Poem 10:04 – Sinterklaas Treats 17:21 – Pakjesavond (and Mark’s Sinterklaas Surprise!)
