In a video
guaranteed to make you smile, Canadian airline WestJet fulfilled Christmas
wishes for its passengers following a recent flight.
Prior to
takeoff, a virtual Santa Claus asked passengers at the Toronto and
Hamilton International Airports what they wanted for Christmas. Once they boarded
their flight to Calgary, the WestJet team went on a shopping spree.
Over 150
WestJet employees played the part of Santa’s elves, purchasing and wrapping
dozens of presents that were delivered to shocked passengers at baggage claim.
WestJet
posted about the event on their blog:
In early August, we sat down
with our friends at studio m and
started brainstorming what ‘giving’ looked like at its best. We wanted to do
something big, exciting and fresh.
Fast forward three months and,
with the help of 175 WestJet volunteers, three airports and Santa himself, we
made a Christmas miracle happen for more than 250 guests on two Calgary-bound
flights.
We know that Santa has a very
busy schedule at this time of year, and can’t be everywhere. So we did what
WestJetters do best, and helped him spread some Christmas magic to our guests..
WestJet
promised they will donate flights to needy families if the advertisement
reached 200,000 views on YouTube. It currently has almost 1.1 million views.
