With an emphasis this year on the emotional and sentimental moments that guests missed celebrating last year due to the pandemic, WestJet has released its 10th annual holiday video, “WestJet Christmas Miracle: A Wish Come True.”

Over the course of two weeks, undercover and operating as a documentary film crew, WestJet interviewed Canadians in Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver asking them how the pandemic impacted their Christmas traditions and what they wished for the most this holiday season.

The spot features surprises ranging from round-trip tickets and all-inclusive vacation packages to a global reunion between mother and daughter.

“The pandemic impacted everyone’s ability to connect with families and friends for far too long and we’ve truly missed celebrating those moments with our guests,” said WestJet VP Richard Bartrem. “Hearing Canadians’ wishes, we knew we could do something meaningful given how important travel is to Canadians from coast-to-coast.”

He added, “Unsuspecting Canadians authentically divulged so many relatable missed moments from flights home for the holidays, to family reunions and planned vacations that were postponed. We truly hope this year’s Christmas Miracle brings joy and the personal connection we’ve all been wishing for the most… connecting our guests with their loved ones.”

Additional Christmas Miracle content including a WestJet’s Christmas Miracle surprise for the airline’s WestJet Cares for Kids partner, Make A Wish, will be available in the coming days.
