Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellburg, known by his online alias PewDiePie, has etched his name as a Swedish YouTube gaming influencer and entrepreneur. Undoubtedly, he stands tall as the iconic figure in the gaming landscape of YouTube, gracing the covers of renowned magazines such as TIME and Variety.
For several years, PewDiePie became the most-subscribed channel on YouTube, becoming a household name. However, in a publicized competition, the Indian record label T-Series dethroned him, becoming YouTube’s most-subscribed channel. Following this development, PewDiePie decided to semi-retire from his career as a gaming content creator. Alongside this decision is a major shift in his purpose of creating content, from a professional pursuit to a source of pure enjoyment.
PewDiePie embarked on a new chapter in his life by moving to Japan with his wife and long-time girlfriend, Marzia, and their baby, Bjorn. Despite the change in focus, PewDiePie’s YouTube channel continues to boast over a hundred million subscribers, securing its place among the most-subscribed and viewed channels on the platform.
In an effort to take a break from publishing gaming content, PewDiePie’s channel now features lifestyle vlogs. His recent upload, titled “Xmas Vlog 2024,” garnered significant attention with one million views, securing the 41st spot on YouTube’s trending videos.
This 23-minute video presents a different side of PewDiePie. It allows his viewers to experience the cozy warmth of his family life during the festive season. The video commences with a montage of PewDiePie and Marzia strolling through the streets of Japan, providing a glimpse into their holiday activities.
Unlike his previous attendance at game and toy launches, PewDiePie recently attended a product launch for high-quality strollers and car seats by Cybex Platinum. It’s an unexpected but delightful upgrade that surprised and amused his fans.
The vlog also showcases the natural beauty of Japan, featuring his family’s hike to Mt. Takao and visits to some of the country’s exquisite temples. In addition to their mountain hiking, a highlight includes PewDiePie’s family enjoying the holiday season at a Japanese food fair.
Amidst the video’s narrative, the influencer seamlessly integrates an advertisement for Nord VPN, emphasizing the importance of online security and the perks of using different IP addresses from all parts of the world.
The vlog then continues with the family’s holiday celebrations, including visits to Yomiuriland amusement park, Nezu Museum, and another amusement park.
A heartwarming element of the vlog is the inclusion of their adorable son, Bjorn, providing viewers with glimpses of their joyous family life. The vlog is very cozy, family-centric, and exudes the warmth of the best time of the year to his viewers and fans.
Many fans may feel nostalgic for PewDiePie’s former gaming content, but the majority’s sentiment is genuine happiness for the influencer’s personal growth. The latest video portrays the influencer’s serene life with his family on the other side of the world, and the influencer’s loyal fans remain steadfast in their support for this new chapter in his life.
