'Joyful footage has surfaced of a soldier reuniting with his family for the first time in over a year.

Recorded by Alyssa Noosbond on December 24, 2020, this video features the filmer's military brother, who had returned home for Christmas, surprising his family members in creative ways such as hiding inside of a car, next to the entrance door, and so on.

The filmer of this video told us: "We weren't expecting him (brother) to celebrate Christmas with us this year and all of us were quite sad since it could have been our 2nd straight Christmas without him. He had been away for 14 long months."

Alyssa also added: "All I would say is that holidays with military personnel are a bit different but we were lucky to have him with us this year."

This heartfelt reunion has been showered with love on TikTok. This clip currently boasts over 220K likes.
