Monte, the beloved German Twitch streamer known as MontanaBlack, transformed Christmas 2024 with his extravagant live event held at the scenic ski resort of Bispingen, drawing attention from over 1.5 million viewers and hosting more than 350 well-known influencers and stars.
The event spanned 14 hours and entertained fans with everything from guest arrivals to secret gift exchanges, all broadcast live on Twitch. This year's iteration was even more substantial than the last, marking the 'Weihnachtsevent 2.0' as a remarkable success.
Attendees included popular figures like Twitch star Trymacs, rapper Kollegah, and the TV celebrity Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht, all blending together to create what resembled one gigantic family reunion. The atmosphere was lively, evidenced by the common question circulating among guests: 'Who are you, actually?' Many of them didn’t know each other, which led to continued introductions and conversations throughout the day.
Monte's Christmas bash was not just about streaming but also about fostering connections between the multitude of celebrities. The elaborate setup required three hotels to accommodate everyone, including the organizing team, which consisted of over 100 staff members aimed at ensuring everything ran smoothly.
One notable aspect was the inclusion of Monter's grandparents who, for the first time, were part of his grand event. Visitors observed the affectionate relationship between him and his grandparents, who actively engaged with guests, appearing both proud and emotionally moved by the scale of their grandson's achievements.
The event, costing approximately half a million euros, was significantly sponsored by powerful partners, including Gönrgy, Monte's energy drink brand. Monte himself took the initiative to craft not just the main festivities but even built a mini Christmas market complete with gingerbread hearts which contained humorous phrases such as 'G stands for Gönnen.', embodying his ethos of enjoyment and generosity.
While the cameras were rolling, onlookers were treated to joyful segments, yet it was what happened away from the live stream camera lens where the real festive spirit shone. Various hidden delights included exhilarating sledding excursions and fiercely contested table soccer matches involving notable YouTubers: KuchenTV and Alicia Joe.
The celebration included numerous interactions and jokes, fostering new friendships among streamers and musicians alike as they enjoyed the offerings from the Christmas market, which helped create a sense of continuity from the last year's event.
With more than 260,000 viewers tuning in at peak times, the event set new records for MontanaBlack's live streams, prompting speculation about potential return engagements for future Christmas celebrations. Earlier, Monte had hinted at the possibility of planning even bigger gatherings to come, as he reflected on the experiences of this event.
This year’s Christmas event has sparked excitement among fans, who can't wait for what the next installment will bring. The community is set to follow Monte's updates closely as he prepares for yet another round of holiday festivities.
Indeed, the success of this year's Christmas Twitch event encapsulates not just MontanaBlack's growing influence but also his ability to mobilize and entertain vast audiences, emphasizing the connectedness and creativity inherent within the streaming community.
