Canadian telecom giant Shaw released a video of a touching family surprise stunt that was pulled off just in time for Thanksgiving. The unknowing families in this video believed they were making a routine video call to their loved ones, when little did they know, the call was coming from just outside their house.
Shaw pulled off the stunt by recreating a loved one's home in a back of a van. The family member then leaves the van after a fake excuse only to knock on their family's door. The video captures the families' unbridled joy and shock as they are greeted by someone they thought was on the other side of the world.
The touching family surprise symbolizes Shaw's newest slogan "Connecting you to what matters most."
