[@melonnash]

Literally same, I was on the verge of tears

[@TheHazelHayes]

+doddleoddle Dodie, maybe you should just stop watching my videos...? :(

[@niniwatches]

Same Dodie, same. (I came from your recommendations on Twitter)

[@melododie]

My reaction, "Well f***!"

[@22ndCenturyCookies]

I thought this was going to be so touching. I forgot it was a hazel hayes video.

[@TheHazelHayes]

+22ndCenturyCookies You fool.

[@imogengallagher8512]

+ChewingSand We all love your work Hazel

[@kianad105]

Hazel talking to the kid is so weird because all I can imagine her going "fuck of you little child"😂

[@gracib9751]

Same and I love your profile pic

[@milancaptein]

+Kiana Persaud precisely this

[@kianad105]

+Brighton Barker haha thanks😊

[@liamccormack6300]

[@officialchickenpermissionf516]

SAME THO

[@JaneAsPerUsual]

WELL THAT TOOK A TURN

[@JaneAsPerUsual]

loved it though

[@khyan]

'Zak Harney' is officially the worst spelling of my name I've ever seen in credits.

[@TheHazelHayes]

+Khyan AW SHIT!!!!!

[@TheHazelHayes]

+Khyan Oh Khyan I'm so so sorry!!!

[@khyan]

+ChewingSand It's alright, I'm more impressed than anything :P

[@Galasaurus]

+Khyan how did this even happen hahaha

[@Galasaurus]

a dark, dark force out to get us all... especially khyan

[@astra_music]

i was just watching this thinking "where does it go wrong?" the whole time

[@mallbratgirl_3005]

Me too.

[@chloe-nm7ni]

Was watching this thinking 'is this really on Hazel's channel?? she's not this cheerful' until it got to the end, haha! great video x

[@TheHazelHayes]

+chloe vallis Hey! I'm cheerful... Kinda.

[@chloe-nm7ni]

I hope you didn't take me comment as an insult, didn't mean it that way!

[@TomRPI]

This was brilliant! The whole video looks great and I definitely didn't see that ending coming :'D Loved it

[@TheHazelHayes]

Thanks Tom!

[@ajobweldon]

This was so, so great. Never noticed how much Khyan fits the "average dad" description before.

[@pluto1093]

Waiting for it...

[@pluto1093]

And there it is.

[@n.fer.2596]

Yessss me too!! I knew it would be SOMETHING

[@youdayeonace4145]

"to get Santa" that brings on a whole new meanig

[@AnaMaria-ei8ib]

Hazel looks so much like a mom

[@_luca.s]

Loved the ending 😂. Please make more short gilms like septem. PLEASE

[@JulieJoanne]

+Lucas Proudhon-Smith short gilms are the best!

[@_luca.s]

Julie Joanne omg😂😂😂😂😂. Just saw that. Laughed soooooooo hard!

[@jacobfarrell1120]

+Julie Joanne i love gilms!

[@strawbself]

I would expect nothing less from Hazel's mind

[@Lydidepp]

Also the love actually reference... nice...

[@henryhicks7559]

Well that was NOT where I thought this was going, you sure do like to turn the tables (or should I say flip the tables so freaking much that you can't even tell that they're tables anymore) Yeah. I think that's pretty accurate.

[@TheHazelHayes]

Nailed it

[@RuthieCroft]

I was crying and thinking that this was the most lovely, heart felt thing I'd seen all year and then the ending happened...

[@IsabellaLilyWinter]

this is fucking great. i loved addition of the classic advert "smile and shake head" whenever a child does something naughty.

[@muun6834]

I KNEW IT WOULD TURN I FREAKING KNEW IT

[@seallofapproval]

Half way through I started to doubt myself like "actually maybe it'll just be a beautiful ending" then BAM WHADYA KNOW IT SANTA'S IN A CAGE

[@CryptidLarklin]

this was beautifully shot and all that shit.

[@Novkii]

That was actually much more tame than I was expecting

[@mickeleh]

What a gem of concept and execution. Flawless. Gooseybumps.

[@TheHazelHayes]

Compliments always mean a lot coming from you cuz I know how brutally honest you are :) Thanks!!

[@mickeleh]

+ChewingSand Well, then, here's another. Every shot is a shining jewel. Nothing is wasted. I love how much thought and craft went into this.

[@imakedoodleslol]

"Zak Harney" was great in this

[@TheHazelHayes]

+imakedoodleslol Right?

[@TintedViolets]

Khyans line sums up my life

[@amybrennan5218]

Oh my this is so cute

[@amybrennan5218]

Wait I take it back

[@goldmooncreations9559]

+Amy Brennan this is so Chloe 😂😂😂

[@amybrennan5218]

+Ella Cornthwaite actually is

[@CraigSephton]

Brilliant!! I did not see that coming at all... it didn't disappoint!

[@jazzingirl]

Holy shit I knew something messed up was going to happen it's Hazel fuckin fantastic

[@lowqualitysleep]

You'd think after watching every "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared" video I'd expect such a plot twist. Good job, Hazel Hayes!

[@ThatJoeyFella]

Great video! Well done Hazel and all involved. I loved how you guys used the advent calendar to show the passing of time. Nice touch!

[@theInkstains]

this is possibly the most beautiful thing i have ever seen

[@teaandvodka587]

I had a feeling something bad was gonna happen from the "To get santa" but I just passed it off as a silly thought. Should have known, it's just like Hazel to make something like this. I enjoyed every second of it. Bloody brilliant.

[@HoneyDaengdej]

Literally, not even 30 seconds in yet and I am already crying "but who makes presents for him?" ..... and then we reach the end... and I'm crying because of a very different emotion :'D yes, I found this because I am already counting down the days until Christmas and it is the middle of summer...

[@PokemonDiamondUS]

This and dodie's sketch are delicious. I've rewatched both of them a lot.

[@sapphiccore]

oh my god this actually made me quite emotional but wow that ending, i'm speechless

[@Seonatha]

I was about to cry because it was so beautiful, and then suddenly!!!

[@paigehart8538]

I expected the ending to be Hazel putting the christmas presents in his stocking and the kid finding out Santa isn't real but this was SO much better than I expected! hahah. Incredible!

[@manusigl]

When both Hazel and Khyan are smiling this much with this lovely a background music, you can count on some good twist. And yet I did not anticipate that particular ending! Well done! Pretty sure that's the video I'm showing my family on Christmas Eve!

[@itsliterature2344]

I saw the title and had to watch it's not a lie that the John Lewis advert is the thing I anticipate most at Christmas. This should be used next year lol

[@imanik5784]

I don't know why I didn't expect a turn at the end, because plot twists are Hazel's specialty! Truly brilliant!! 😘😘

[@freddielangler7864]

I started crying because it was so bloody cute and then that happens and I just ahhhh. Thank you, just thank you

[@farhanahp]

Throughout this I kept thinking 'this isn't hazel' and then the end happened. This is so hazel.

[@babyblossom7143]

Literally had the same reaction as khyan, omg Hazel that was incredible.

[@blaireluna389]

THIS IS THE BEST THING IVE SEEN ALL SEASON LONG

[@glove9744]

I love the Hazel twist at the end

[@vee.t.a]

That ending though. Totally something I'd do.

[@MiriamGallacher]

OMG I WAS JUST WAITING FOR THIS TO END HORRIBLY WOW THE SUSPENSE WAS REAL. this is amazing

[@anuprisingresistance]

I expected something much worse, so I was relieved at the ending. This is great job Hazel and Zak Harney.

[@abbydoyle8601]

Hazel you are such an amazing actor all your little movies are just brilliant I love you so much 😂❤️😘😝🎄👩‍❤️‍👩

[@odeameyohas5929]

how does this not have more views! Its genius!

[@calypsolucia3699]

It's that time of year again

[@RukayaCesar]

This was BRILLIANT. Better than any other Christmas ad I've seen!

[@katiejohnson4711]

I WAS ON THE VERGE OF TEARS HAZEL. YOU CANT DO THAT TO MY EMOTIONS I WASNT READY

[@pearlrobertshannaford8790]

I want this to be used as the Christmas ad next year

[@p28-e7j]

That escalated! I think it's an accurate reflection of the times we live in! Scarily believable tbh! Great job

[@covertheskies]

You look and act so much like Vera Farmiga during Bates Motel, I love it. Stanley definitely portrays a young Norman Bates as well, I am in heaven. 10/10, Hazel!

[@JKnight1316]

THAT CHILD IS SO CUTE MY HEART

[@bigfunjoshieb]

So perfect. Both adorable and horrifying. God bless you Hazel Hayes and everyone behind this video.

[@mayan4665]

omg WHY(silently cries) u broke me Hazel. aaaaaaah

[@mayan4665]

[@emmaroombaasmr8036]

+Maya N (Mattycat) Nice profile picture

Kittiepopz Thanks :)

[@EmilyDavis999]

Every time Hazel uploads something, I'm shocked by how talented she is. Like, seriously seriously good. Bravah xx

[@KatySummers21]

'What a lovely boy he's probably building a present for sant..... Oh well, never mind'. Hazel does Christmas advertising right oh boy!

[@hannahclarke5324]

IT WAS GOING SO WELL I THOUGHT FOR A SECOND THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE SPARES MY HEART THIS YEAR BUT NO

[@freyagething1795]

The start of this was so heart-warming, I should have know there'd be a twist! Xx😂

[@ayza1521]

I am both the dad and the kid in this situation. Loved it!

[@carryoncandace9722]

oh my GOD hazel. this is brilliant, terrifying, adorable, and disturbing all at once. i love it.

[@MadamBonaparte]

I kept thinking "this is too nice, what's gonna happen?!" - was not disappointed. Great work, Hazel :D

[@alice.arnold]

I was like aw this is so cute...where is it going? Hazel you didn't disappoint me.

[@paulinaw7358]

i knew this was too sweet for hazel to have directed it

[@phormidable]

Ahhhh still my favourite short film by you, Hazel. I looove it so much.

[@TheTammy4eva]

This is the best thing I've seen this season. You have really outdone yourself Hazel!

[@chasepeters6853]

Hazel delivers again ! A Christmas classic. Great job.

[@emilyevaa7972]

PAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHA I was watching this thinking "aw what a lovely little story! This should be the next John Lewis advert!" Then then ending happened… I'm crying tears of laughter

[@jasm12341995]

I'm actually crying omg

[@KSI69420]

I wish this was the actual John Lewis Christmas ad. This one is by far 10,000,000 times better! :)

[@joballentine1358]

That was...unexpectedly great

[@summerautumnwinterspring]

This was me as a child. Best Christmas video I've seen in a while :)

[@moltodolce7071]

god damn it hazel the one film of yours i could show my little sister and her friend and then that last line

[@charlottejones7932]

That is not where I thought this video was going😂 honestly my new favourite Christmas video, the effort that went into this beats vlogmas any day!

[@appletits]

I was waiting for something to happen, then doubted myself...then that ending omg

[@nerdrat7784]

I was NOT expecting that omg

[@mimiewood]

This is the greatest thing ever. Definitely not a John Lewis advert. Loved it Hazel xo

[@joenosenothing7602]

This was amazing, just what my Christmas needed! You should make a feature film!

[@danielunedi]

This is the best Christmas vid ever.

[@011CRB]

It was amazing how much this was shot just like a cheesy christmas advert. Until yknow santa in a cage, but thats the dash of hayes that makes it brilliant!

[@lizmoore3403]

two words: HAZEEEEEL HAYYEES

[@Emma-kt7bl]

Utterly brilliant! The little boy is hilarious - hope he's not on Santa's naughty list now.

[@kamilekasiulyte6489]

This was BRILLIANT, Hazel. Bravo!

[@CoreyT97]

THIS HAS ME IN STITCHES OMG I LOVE IT

[@hannahtrickett879]

So calm and sweet and then BOOM! Amazing

[@chloecurtis1069]

this is actual genius. well done.

[@MultiCoolBeenz]

was gonna say that this was the first thing that made me feel festive, but then i got to the end..never mind

[@ByAnnieBasson]

Oh my god.... I didn't expect that. Bloody hell!!!! But after this I can conclude that Hazel would be a lovely mum. Xxxx

[@alittledropofengland752]

your films always have an unexpected twist at the end! I LOVE IT so much!

[@allii5565]

That's was amazing! Really well done! Congrats Hazel! 🎅

[@megantranter9553]

Bloody brilliant. Just as twisted as i've grown to expect from your videos and i wouldn't have it any other way.

[@hcrowley]

Hazel you make the cutest mum ever awww

[@xlittlemissnaivex8424]

Aww... This was cute for a second...

[@emilypickup6927]

I was waiting for the twist, I couldn't figure out what it would be but I knew it was coming

[@alishaloveslols]

Omfg this is the best thing that's happened to Christmas

[@AllieGrce]

Not going to lie, spent much of the video tensely waiting for Santa to take out the kid, you managed to keep it surprising haha - loved it

[@Rue4815162342]

i love the change of camera angles a the end! brillient
