When I heard of even my non-traveling friends talking about this Christmas video from the upstart Canadian airline, I knew they had done something special. The video above sweeps viewers into its plot and leaves them teary-eyed. This is one of the best Christmas videos of all time.
The others are amazing — some for their polish, others for their simplicity and some for their extravagance.
