CALGARY — Cue the tears! WestJet has done it again with its annual Christmas Miracle campaign video, which this year celebrates the heroes behind the scenes that make travel possible.

Aptly titled ‘Holiday Heroes,’ the campaign, now in its 11th year, shines a spotlight on the one-in-four Canadians who will be separated from a loved one over the holidays. So this year, the airline facilitated three surprise reunions for individuals working in industries dedicated to supporting travel during this busy time of year.

“WestJet is proud to be part of a large community that works tirelessly through the holiday season to connect Canadians to the people and places that matter most to them,” said Jennifer Callegaro, Director of Marketing, WestJet. “This year, our Christmas Miracle campaign acknowledges the many holiday heroes across the travel industry and gives them the best gift of all – time with their loved ones.”

In the video, we see three surprise reunions involving: Ashley Springer, a Translink Bus Driver who reunited with his sister and nephew from New York City; Killian Kampes, a valet at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver who reunited with his mother and father from Dublin; and Husan Gill, an AGI Ramp Agent at Vancouver International Airport who reunited with her childhood best friend from Prince George.

As part of the campaign, WestJet is inviting Canadians to nominate their holiday hero who is working away from loved ones, for an opportunity to connect.  Nominations are open at WestJet.com/ChristmasMiracle.
