Ahhhh I remember when people hugged each other. I miss that.
Me too . Miss it so much
Me too and i almost crying
Hug - nobody can ban it. Listen to your heart but not TV😬😊
It's 2022 and this video still makes me cry. The happiness and joy that WestJet brought is as needed today as it was then. Thank you WestJet!
Same here🥰 🥺🥺
2023 for me, 23 of December... I feel that same vibe, this video makes me shed tears of joy.
I like it❤🎉
So, who's here in 2020?

I've watched this video probably 20 times and I get emotional every time.
This honestly made me tear up. West Jet- Thank you for showing us there is still good companies that prioritise their customers- It's always a pleasure flying with you!
Djk34💘💝💖😍 how old you are are you single
Well done, WestJet! Although, I feel bad for the guy who only asked for socks and underwear. ;)
LOL....so do I. this was amazing
Wow. Could you imagine??? Good on westjet
k well dooe
yea!
But he need it hahahab
Christmas time brings me back here every year, 2019

Me too!
the same for me!!!
Me as well.
Merry Christmas everyone.❤🌲
Same
Everytime I watch this it makes me cry. It doesn't matter what the present costs, it the thought that goes into it. Happy Christmas everyone. X
me too lol
Oh my God me too
Spirit Airlines will also be doing this same campaign. However, the cost of the gift will be billed to your credit card plus shipping and handling fees.
I bet the guy that asked for socks is kicking himself somewhat
Doug Armstrong maybe he was like the kid in "a christmas story" who asked the mall santa for a basketball instead of a bb gun
Nice video !
I've always come back here every year and still having a good cry everytime.
Out of all the gifts I saw there I like the free flight home one the best, came with a personalized letter and everything. What a good company
I hope I wasn't the only one who teared while watching this! WestJet did an amazing thing... I'm impress!
I bet the socks and underwear guy was pissed lol
Like this comment if you're ready to watch our 2021 Christmas Miracle video.
Merry christmas from Tawau, Sabah, Malaysia
How to get in the christmas spirt: watch west jet videos
I'm absolutely ready. All the way from the Philippines.
Better than the U.K. John Lewis Christmas adverts now
Merry christmas from Russia)
The poor guy that asked for socks...
Well he needed it. But it would suck for him to because every one else got epic gifts
+Matthew Walsh I guess the fun part for him as well was more important.
I'm thinking the other way around.. he will treasure that socks & undies more than other expensive things he ever had. the moment how he get that gift from santa and be a spotlight on that ad/youtube is priceless
+Quibble S I think he must have needed them while traveling and was ashamed with what he had brought.
Oh man, the look of regret of those who asked for trivial stuff, breaks my heart
It's difficult to be cynical about this, it's a big company doing some clever marketing, but they've found a way to market themselves in a way that makes people happy. A great idea, and very warming.
Cool for the travelers, and good marketing for the company. Win. Win.
All these years later and i still come back to watch this video every Christmas, thanks for making it Westjet!
I cry every goddamn time
Same here
Same here
can u send link of the video if you have any ?
here I am one year later and guess what? I cried again
Me too!!!! :)
Damn it now I have to go punch something hard to get my manliness back. Couldn't help but shed a tear of happiness for them.
This made me cry tears of joy, I wish more people in the world can be as happy.
That was nothing but class. The person and or persons that came up with that idea need to be congratulated as you are a true champion of humanity. You need to be cherished by your workmates, family, friends, and peers as your heart is pure to the core and wouldn't believe for a second that it was solely for publicity. It will move anyone who watches it. Priceless!
Ever year, In Christmas evening I watch this video, gives me a lite of chill and good memories
Have you been at this flight?
I gotta say... this brought tears to my eyes.
More so... there is an airline that ACTUALLY CARES!?!
wow, that's incredible. I love seeing companies give back for things like this. This is what makes people care again.
Mike Wills
The reason is, Westjet is employee owned.
We know two things from this:
1- WestJet isn't an American company
2- Canadians have a weird colored Santa.
hahaha, I was thinking the same thing as #2
i bet that guy was like "damn, I spent my one wish for underwear"
He did get under armor, not exactly very cheap stuff:)
Le tuan linh fifjfififirr8rujrekeleele
Bet his wife was really happy!
Dude I'd be chuffed for underarmor stuff. Top shelf.
Question: for the guy that wanted socks and underwear, how did they know which size he was and that it would fit ?
I still watch this one EVERY year! Westjet ROCKS!!! WestJet Santa is internationally famous!
2019, i still get goosebumps everytime i watch this
Me too...
2022, i still go back to this video. this is so iconic
Things like this keep my faith in humanity alive :)
This is not fake at all.. Nor is this scripted.. This is pure genius and generous of an airline. MERRY CHRISTMAS WEST JET!
Are you kidding who on earth could forget this Christmas gem!? Yep I'm back again this year, STILL LOVE THIS!!!!
I watched this last year 2015, watching it again this year 2016. It always makes me teary eyed.
same here!
I bet the guy who wished for socks was pissed as hell.
Or maybe he REALLY needed the socks. I mean.....REALLY.
@@ghostrider2664 It's true. My mom ALWAYS asks us to get her socks for Christmas.
He knows that objects are not what Christmas is about.
That poor guy who asked for socks and underwear lol.
Such an amazing video. Always loved flying with WestJet!
For the last seven years, this is the way I start my holiday season. Thank you for making me a holiday tradition. I still get a tear in my eye.
Same here ..!
Just watched for the first time for 2023. Never gets old!
I remember when westjet came to my school and gave me wings and models when I was in grade 9 I was so happy to see Susan and Jamie that day they helped inspire my dreams of being a pilot and here I am today 20 years old finally ready to start training
Stuff like this makes me shed tears of joy.
I can only imagine the absolute rush and chaos those WestJet employee's faced in those teams they had going out on Christmas Eve trying to round up all those gift's in a ~3 hour period, wrap and name each and everyone, ready to be giving when those passengers arrived.
What a bloody amazing feat! Excellent marketing strategy as it probably only cost ~$100,000 verses millions in running commercials to achieve the same effect.
Let the news agencies advertise for you these days.. . Why fit the bill yourself. That PR Advertising executive is a fucking genius!
You could run commercials for an entire year across the globe and not achieve the same effect that this simple but very well planned out stunt achieved at a fraction of what it would cost to run advertisement's in multiply countries.
Pure genius.
the whole team who bought the gifts are so generous wow and everything is smiles and tears of joy it's so beautiful ! ! ! 😍😍😍😍
I’ve watched this at least 100 times and it never gets old!
I am a Canadian. I fly Westjet several times a year. In case you're wondering, WestJet really does treat people like this.
Man the guy that asked for a scarf must have regretted asking for that so bad
Same with the guy who asked for socks and underwear haha
***** Yeah lol i was thinking the same thing ahahahaahahahah...they should film his face xD
***** honestly i think he was fine with cause everybody was such in a happy mood...they even showed his face nd he was smiling
I'm watching this in 2020 during this terrible covid/corona year. So much loss of life and terrible situations for so many people across the world. This awesome video made me a bit happier. Wishing everyone a merry healthy Christmas this year.
I could watch this a million times. WestJet: Thanks for getting into our hearts! :)
I started crying before they even went shopping. Maybe Christmas "isnt supposed to be about gifts", but the happiness and sense of community and love between complete strangers that were created through those gifts is a wonderful addition to the holidays imo.
Gawd I'm halfway crying. Faith in humanity restored :')
Just remember; it was all a publicity stunt and the money they make in a day, to say nothing of the added business from good will generated by this stunt, more than covers the cost of all those gifts.
Arkham Creed Thanks so much for stating the obvious! EVERYONE knows it's marketing, but what a nice change from straight marketing to giving a little something back in return. What next, you going to tell us the earth is round not flat?
5 years later and I still watch this and it always makes me so happy
When I feel sad or certain we have lost compassion for our fellow man, I watch this video to remember there are still good people who care out there. ❤
I'm not christian and i don't celebrate chrismas but i was truly touched by this , amazing
Why did this make me cry?? It's nice to know that not everyone in the world is full of anger and hate :')
WestJet....I have watch this every year since it was aired.....It makes this 58 year old cry anytime.....I wish we had something like this in Ohio but we do not. I just wanted to say that what you did was truly wonderful.....I wish I could fly somewhere warm but its just too expensive so I watch this video and smile and that warms me inside...Bravo!!!!
Revisiting as we approach Christmas 2023 - still one of the best surprises ever
I'm a Muslim, so I don't even celebrate Christmas, but this was a pretty awesome thing to do. It's touching to see people work together to create happiness and to leave that holiday feel in every one. Way to go West jet.
:)
The manager with that idea needs a medal, he just make the kids happy and loyal customers for life
This was a special day for the gift givers and the receivers. Brought tears to my eyes and a smile. I don't know what I would have asked for but I hope it would have been something I would have enjoyed for years to come.
watch this every year always makes me shed a tear
WHY AM I CRYING
mmm i dont know lol
me too so touching
nicknack125 Because THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. =')
How can 2000+ people even dislike this video? This is sooo amazingg!!! It's really heartwarming how they made their customers happy for the holidays with the interactive Santa Clause. I cried when the baggage claim alarm went off and it started "snowing" and I saw the gifts going down the belt. I cried again when I watched the second and third time LOL.
Glad I wasn't alone in that reaction! :) Such a feel good moment, talk about restoring faith in humanity!
came here to write the same comment! you're absolutely right !
Really sad people.
They are jealous! Actually me too.. :D But i still like the video
Soo heartwarming, aww so adorable spending spending spending! Let's all spend more money we don't even have! Just keep promoting the overly commercial christmas...
I still come buy and watch this to brighten my day...never gets old...
Over two years later and sill a great festive movie! Well done WestJet
Omg this made me cry.
Best advertisement I ever saw.
Keep coming back to watch this over and over and brings tears to my eyes...
I first saw this last year and I have now added it to my channel. This is emotional. WestJet deserve every commendation for this.
West Jet, you just landed all my future flying business! Imagine a company that gives back, unheard of!
Not gonna lie, this made me cry and want to work for WestJet
Tears still in my eyes, such a good company, God Bless their hearts
Someone posted this on their FB a few years ago, I watched it and was in tears, tears of JOY!!! I have searched this vid MANY times since then, and, yes I am back again this year, yep I have to once again watch this commercial over and over again! This is so amazing, seriously who could ever forget this one! Thank you for the joy again this year!
I can't believe how sweet you were! I can't deny I cried like a baby! Merry Christmas from an Italian guy living in Poland!!! Well done guys!!!
Savv Fabb
Racist ingrate.
I don't know why I cried! This just makes me so happy! :') I love seeing people give to others who would never expect anything. Great campaign.
I cried too :)
I cried too !!!
Me too :)
@OhOh Sheeila Same here, didn't know when I started tearing up! This is truly beautiful!
Same here :D
I watch this every year and it still gives a tear in the eye at how wonderful this video is.
It's been 8years but this video always makes me cry everytime I watch this.❤
What a great surprise for random people. Wish I was there that time too.
This made me tear up..... Brings joy to know that people would do this.
I'm not crying, you're crying.
I watch this video every year. It makes me feel good about life. There are still people out there who care. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
I come back every year to watch this. This is so beautiful. ❤
WESTJET WINS THE INTERNET FLAWLESS VICTORY
To those who are getting worked up about this being a publicity stunt or marketing strategy or whatever you want to call it, stop being so pessimistic. We all know it's a marketing strategy. That's no secret. They need ways to grow their company if they want to make money after all. But the great thing about it is that rather than following the grain and just making commercials to advertise their product, they're getting creative and found a way to give back to their customers while doing so. It shows the character of the company and is putting a lot of people in a good mood. That's more than any other airline company can say they've done.
Thank you miss hugging and handshakes too,what you all did was give tears of joy,lots of smiles with laughter,best blessed christmas they will always remember,an awesome surprise and gifts showing you care from your hearts,a totally merry christmas,joy ,joy,very kind and nice,thank you all!!!
It’s been 6 years yet this video will always be my favorite of Christmas videos. Every year, i always search and watch this video over and over again.
Everyone is starting to do these 'giving back' videos because they know they are the most viral. Big ups to the marketing team for WestJet. :)
I nearly cried. This is so... so... so... I don't know!
'When we all work as one' we need this now more than ever... wonderful advert, i wish the world could learn from this...
Returning every year and it has still the same impact. Invisible ninjas, cutting onions around me. Thanks WestJet.
Damnit, I still break out crying when watching this. Okay officially trying to never watch this again.
I teared profusely watching this!
Crazy-Q Adventure & Media I did not think so many People would agree with me. Actually what kills me is the ticket Home. I havent been home in 8 Years.
WestJet advertising genius. To get this much exposure for the cost of those gifts truly is a miracle.
Yep. And the thing is, I don't even care that it's a PR stunt, because it's an awesome one...
Miracles do happen when we all work as one! Just wanted to say thank you to the West Jet employees who pulled this off! You brought joy to so many!
This Christmas Miracle made me cry... Amazing JOY of GIVING!
I bet some people were kicking themselves afterwards for just asking for socks and scalves haha
This made me so happy I'm crying what
Every year I come to watch this right before Christmas to cry of happiness
The best ever... I'm happy for them who received the gifts and especially for WestJet who has a very heartwarming initiative... Two thumbs up for WestJet!
I'm like crying right now
Μe too....
Me too HOW AWESOME of them
MERRY CHRISTMAS
It seems a lot of people commenting on here think that helping the destitute during the holidays is the only way of showing true Christmas spirit. Do we just forget that everyone is entitled to a happy Christmas? We have to make it about particular people now? Yes it's a marketing move, but at the same time they put smiles on people's faces and the faces of their kids, which is what Christmas is about to me.
Still watching and tearing up. 11/25/2023
This never gets old to see all the smiles
1:24 "An Android Tablet" -- what a very smart and intelligent young man!
Very emotional. This is how the world should be. Strangers caring for strangers . No fighting = a safe and happy world !
WestJet is a wonderful company and I love flying with them, to bad the entire world can't share more of the incredible wealth that exists. Merry Christmas everyone!!!!
This video made me cry lot, i have not seen nor spend christmas with my family for 4 years now, but am hoping and praying for a miracle to happen this coming christmas.
