[@belindamalek7217]

[@user-gh7eq6ln2k]

Merry christmas from Russia)

[@KarissaPukas]

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!

[@djkreigline2760]

Djk34💘💝💖😍 how old you are are you single

[@HowardPinsky]

Well done, WestJet! Although, I feel bad for the guy who only asked for socks and underwear. ;)

[@deanberry5745]

Wow. Could you imagine??? Good on westjet

[@worldwhytf9429]

Me as well. Merry Christmas everyone.❤🌲

[@rittlerouge1471]

Same

[@doug]

I bet the guy that asked for socks is kicking himself somewhat

[@SupremeX349]

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

[@summariesfootballtv3313]

Nice video !

[@JeffZelaya]

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.

[@suepike1323]

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

[@smurfb0219]

me too lol

[@skylar6818]

Oh my God me too

[@user-di1yk3dw7t]

I've always come back here every year and still having a good cry everytime.

[@robinlinh]

i bet that guy was like "damn, I spent my one wish for underwear"

[@dutchymcdutch2553]

He did get under armor, not exactly very cheap stuff:)

[@miniena7774]

Le tuan linh fifjfififirr8rujrekeleele

[@ohwell2790]

Bet his wife was really happy!

[@ghostrider2664]

Dude I'd be chuffed for underarmor stuff. Top shelf.

[@sexy_porkchops]

Question: for the guy that wanted socks and underwear, how did they know which size he was and that it would fit ?

[@nichtswiezuvor]

I bet the guy who wished for socks was pissed as hell.

[@ghostrider2664]

Or maybe he REALLY needed the socks. I mean.....REALLY.

[@Winnipegger1984]

@@ghostrider2664 It's true. My mom ALWAYS asks us to get her socks for Christmas.

[@planetrockford]

He knows that objects are not what Christmas is about.

[@DevinShillingtonSkateboarding]

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

[@Nonyah123]

The poor guy that asked for socks...

[@CDNSpartan]

Well he needed it. But it would suck for him to because every one else got epic gifts

[@mast420kalandar]

+Matthew Walsh I guess the fun part for him as well was more important.

[@moonbyby]

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

[@MsRobinG]

+Quibble S I think he must have needed them while traveling and was ashamed with what he had brought.

[@lulubeloo]

Oh man, the look of regret of those who asked for trivial stuff, breaks my heart

[@SunnyAegyoify3]

This made me cry tears of joy, I wish more people in the world can be as happy.

[@Sparkyn321]

I hope I wasn't the only one who teared while watching this! WestJet did an amazing thing... I'm impress!

[@MerchantIvoryfilms]

All these years later and i still come back to watch this video every Christmas, thanks for making it Westjet!

[@nycgirlxx]

I cry every goddamn time

[@mikethibault2909]

Same here

[@MyMariocat]

Same here

[@143yags]

can u send link of the video if you have any ?

[@nycgirlxx]

here I am one year later and guess what? I cried again

[@DM7609]

Me too!!!! :)

[@MikeWills]

I gotta say... this brought tears to my eyes.

[@MikeWills]

More so... there is an airline that ACTUALLY CARES!?!

[@amaxwell01]

wow, that's incredible. I love seeing companies give back for things like this. This is what makes people care again.

[@tearuapart1]

Mike Wills The reason is, Westjet is employee owned.

[@JasonON]

We know two things from this: 1- WestJet isn't an American company 2- Canadians have a weird colored Santa.

[@amaxwell01]

hahaha, I was thinking the same thing as #2

[@KonijNx2]

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.

[@johnnysockov2755]

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!

[@Ralb2000]

Ever year, In Christmas evening I watch this video, gives me a lite of chill and good memories

[@radimbartosek5356]

Have you been at this flight?

[@chefkendranguyen]

Cool for the travelers, and good marketing for the company. Win. Win.

[@nicknack125]

WHY AM I CRYING

2022, i still go back to this video. this is so iconic

[@Seabee644]

I still watch this one EVERY year! Westjet ROCKS!!! WestJet Santa is internationally famous!

[@PavelBarber]

That poor guy who asked for socks and underwear lol. Such an amazing video. Always loved flying with WestJet!

[@DNBRTV]

Things like this keep my faith in humanity alive :)

[@stilts34711]

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.

[@perrooceaniko2005]

Same here ..!

[@stilts34711]

Just watched for the first time for 2023. Never gets old!

[@ririmr4978]

Are you kidding who on earth could forget this Christmas gem!? Yep I'm back again this year, STILL LOVE THIS!!!!

[@almamia07]

Omg this made me cry.

[@jelless]

This is not fake at all.. Nor is this scripted.. This is pure genius and generous of an airline. MERRY CHRISTMAS WEST JET!

[@JM-zo3zg]

I watched this last year 2015, watching it again this year 2016. It always makes me teary eyed.

[@fenilbollywood]

same here!

[@ptitepatte1095]

the whole team who bought the gifts are so generous wow and everything is smiles and tears of joy it's so beautiful ! ! ! 😍😍😍😍

[@RebeccaSong]

Stuff like this makes me shed tears of joy.

[@SavvFabb]

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!!!

[@miniena7774]

Savv Fabb Racist ingrate.

[@Miralee01]

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. ❤

[@pontiacperformance1993]

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

[@FlumpyTruck]

WESTJET WINS THE INTERNET FLAWLESS VICTORY

[@soniadelvalle89]

I'm not crying, you're crying.

[@MrWillem1970Hlem]

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.

[@kimcan7147]

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.

[@Ailtekon]

I am a Canadian. I fly Westjet several times a year. In case you're wondering, WestJet really does treat people like this.

[@Gabex111]

I bet the socks and underwear guy was pissed lol

[@vipertt100]

watch this every year always makes me shed a tear

[@angelasegundo6455]

Tears still in my eyes, such a good company, God Bless their hearts

[@MrSumbody69]

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.

[@MissJazzmineS]

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.

[@MissJazzmineS]

:)

[@lucas_p]

5 years later and I still watch this and it always makes me so happy

[@1Ocqueoc]

I’ve watched this at least 100 times and it never gets old!

[@KcooTheKid]

Gawd I'm halfway crying. Faith in humanity restored :')

[@arkhamcreed4326]

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.

[@terriwelch7668]

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?

[@BbbradiCP]

I'm like crying right now

[@demetramur3510]

Μe too....

[@EZRIDER327]

Me too HOW AWESOME of them MERRY CHRISTMAS

[@DoubleAgent99]

I could watch this a million times. WestJet: Thanks for getting into our hearts! :)

[@sirimavo]

Keep coming back to watch this over and over and brings tears to my eyes...

[@AquarielCharm]

Best advertisement I ever saw.

[@DoodlesByAdzie]

whY AM I CRYING

[@angelamagruder5911]

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!!!

[@timg5411]

I still come buy and watch this to brighten my day...never gets old...

[@Nirotix]

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.

[@ZchibizroxZ]

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.

[@martinehammond4126]

I watch this every year and it still gives a tear in the eye at how wonderful this video is.

[@peekaboo5496]

I come back every year to watch this. This is so beautiful. ❤

[@TheKateisawsome]

I'm not christian and i don't celebrate chrismas but i was truly touched by this , amazing

[@djrezafication5872]

Man the guy that asked for a scarf must have regretted asking for that so bad

[@pihadave]

Same with the guy who asked for socks and underwear haha

[@downkickowa721]

***** Yeah lol i was thinking the same thing ahahahaahahahah...they should film his face xD

[@afrosymphony8207]

***** honestly i think he was fine with cause everybody was such in a happy mood...they even showed his face nd he was smiling

[@eileeneicw2802]

I watch this video every year. It makes me feel good about life. There are still people out there who care. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

[@JL-of3db]

'When we all work as one' we need this now more than ever... wonderful advert, i wish the world could learn from this...

[@beautybitten]

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.

[@shreya1001]

Glad I wasn't alone in that reaction! :) Such a feel good moment, talk about restoring faith in humanity!

[@faiNtbv]

came here to write the same comment! you're absolutely right !

[@AndreXenofonte]

Really sad people.

[@Rax135]

They are jealous! Actually me too.. :D But i still like the video

[@MacGovernor]

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...

[@2009maryanne]

West Jet, you just landed all my future flying business! Imagine a company that gives back, unheard of!

[@martinpipe4922]

I first saw this last year and I have now added it to my channel. This is emotional. WestJet deserve every commendation for this.

[@SJ_M]

This never gets old to see all the smiles

[@g-8732]

This made me so happy I'm crying what

[@JasonLee-ow8qz]

oh my god, idk why i am crying, this is so beautiful

[@Mithrandir1983]

Returning every year and it has still the same impact. Invisible ninjas, cutting onions around me. Thanks WestJet.

[@queenrenzy8270]

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.

[@samal90]

These became WestJet customers for life.

[@boosti_alex1428]

This made me tear up..... Brings joy to know that people would do this.

[@Benny46drift]

Over two years later and sill a great festive movie! Well done WestJet

[@daphnelattimer9952]

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!

[@Pinkosity]

This made me cry

[@BenjaminKanarek]

Me too! :)

[@donnybrooklads]

This ad shows you did not need a celebrity appearance to brand your company. Kudos to the ad agency. Take that Air Canada!

[@donnybrooklads]

Was waiting till someone thought Santa was a celebrity. A 1/2 one at that. Hilarious.

[@donnybrooklads]

OK noteworthy now not "celebrity" hmm so good someone in the world believes Santa is real and if you get his autograph do let us know! (milk and cookies work I hear) lol

[@donnybrooklads]

OMG! ROFL!!! Look up Khan! There! See? Ol' man Santa is coming for your house ! Hurry get the cookies ready, ya don't want a lump of coal?! Ho Ho Ho!! lol

[@kayukompas2366]

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!

[@silastoo966]

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.

[@mirandapenny8601]

Why did this make me cry?? It's nice to know that not everyone in the world is full of anger and hate :')

[@GrubbyTubby]

Not gonna lie, this made me cry and want to work for WestJet

[@levitas3720]

This Christmas Miracle made me cry... Amazing JOY of GIVING!

[@hanintyanindita5982]

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.

[@Souls4Roca]

The manager with that idea needs a medal, he just make the kids happy and loyal customers for life

[@YoutubeCom_1]

Good Guy WestJet!

[@deborahmiller7631]

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!!!!

[@ririmr4978]

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!

[@AdamC3046]

I bet the 'socks and underwear' guy was kicking himself...

[@jschang11]

Thinking the exact same thing! And what if someone asked for a new house or something absurd?? *****

[@Radi0he4d1]

***** I bet they would appreciate a Barbie set.

[@LynxChan]

***** That's pretty easy. I'm sure Santa knew to coax people to more modest things. "Ohh but a house won't fit on the sleigh my dear, what could I put in the sack?" People won't be calculating because they can't imagine it's real, so they'll probably just play along and give a more reasonable idea.

[@limey3706]

watch the bloopers video someone asked for a car and for one of the NHL teams to win the Stanley Cup haha

[@EduardoCerejo]

***** Probably it would be cut from this video =P

[@rmaguire1000]

Everyone is all happy till they see the family get a big screen TV and they go "Crap. Should have thought of that"

[@jenntorm7317]

My mom would have won this round, haha. She wished for a new car and an upgraded diamond ring, when I asked her what she wanted. :D

[@rmaguire1000]

I would've asked for a PS4 or something as a joke likely :P

[@theELAYshow]

Every year I come to watch this right before Christmas to cry of happiness

[@MrHotsnow10001]

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!!!!

[@Youdontlooklikeher]

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.

[@MrM4X0N3]

I cried too :)

[@bytner90]

I cried too !!!

Me too :)

[@bodeshola]

@OhOh Sheeila Same here, didn't know when I started tearing up! This is truly beautiful!

Same here :D

[@missBRAWR]

This made me cry ♥ There are genuinely kind people out there

[@bhanuscorp]

made me cry too!! happy tears!!

[@Matt_Zee]

Plus it's cleevr advertising too! Everybody wins :D

[@PradeepmysurNagaraj]

No need to cry, its possible only in dreams, no one in reality can fulfil the needs of all. Its just the advertisment enjoy it take the Idea. Thats it.

[@joannefenton2049]

having experienced our son having a brain injury this year, we are very thankful he is recovering. This will be a very special xmas. My husband & I have a holiday planned with westjet of course in the new year.having watched the videos, I can now carry on making shortbread with red eyes. Thank you westjet.

[@superstar9214]

aww that was so sweet it made me cry
