This video will inspire you and encourage you with generosity during Christmas time when WestJet grants Christmas wishes in a tear-jerking fashion.
WestJet Christmas commercials always make me weepy, and this one is no different! As the camera crew goes around a city in Canada, the news anchor asks individuals what they missed most about last Christmas.
We hear them respond, “What I missed most last Christmas was getting together with my family” and “I have an auto-immune disease, so we really didn’t see anyone.” One man shared that his family lives in Paris, so it has been two Christmases without seeing them.
One couple looks emotional, the woman has tears in her eyes as they talk about being lonely without seeing their family in the UK. The woman shares that it has been two and a half years since she has seen her mother. WestJet asks if they had one wish this Christmas, what would it be.
The replies were to see family, travel, and introduce new babies to loved ones. A woman from WestJet walks up and wishes different people a Merry Christmas, then she provides them with free airline tickets anywhere they want to go. One wife cries and hugs the woman.
Person after person is gifted with free tickets to go see their loved ones. One young woman tears up saying she has not been able to afford tickets to get back home. The couple from England had not seen their families in a very long time so they gave them tickets to Cancun and a hotel and told them they could not fly them home to the UK.
While they were at the hotel there, a WestJet employee tells them that they have heard their story and did not think that was right and everyone should be with their loved ones. In the background, we see the girl’s mom and dad sneaking around the corner. He tells them to turn around and the girl runs to her mother crying so hard as they embrace.
This video is a precious reunion. As believers, we might be missing God and His perfect world, but we will be reun
