In case you had any doubt that Christmas is best celebrated with delicious food, exciting presents and, most of all, with family, here's a Christmas-themed commercial to help you. The commercial, posted on November 28, has already gone viral with over 4.6 million views on YouTube.
It shows an elderly man, home alone during the holidays. All his kids and grandkids call him to say they won't be able to make it home for Christmas. It's heartbreaking to see him setting up Christmas cards on his mantelpiece, preparing dinner for one and eating all by himself next to his decorated tree.
A few days later, his children receive the devastating news of his death.
Heartbroken and full of regrets, his family finally make it back home. However, there's a huge surprise awaiting them.
We'll let you watch the video to find out what happens. All we'll say is that there's enough time to change your plans. Celebrate the holidays with your loved ones.
