This event was about genuine human connection. Tbh having my Christmas dinner with strangers genuinely turned out to be the happiest Christmas I have ever had! I really hope that next year this can inspire you for some Christmas ideas for 2020!

If you guys ever do something like this again I think it would be super awesome to have all the cooks come out and eat with everyone if they’d like to

He's like Mr. Beast, but instead of just giving people money and things of monetary value, he gives people happiness and memories they will never forget.
-
Someday those strangers will have kids and maybe tell them about this christmas and he will never be forgotten. Nice.
-
You can see it in everybody's eyes how much this meant to them. From the beginning it looked like a big family dinner and fun.
-
It sound awful but I’m surprised by how many younger people there are alone at Christmas as well as the older generation, what a beautiful thing you guys have done 💕
-
The guy that said, "I was probably just gonna eat McDonalds tonight," omg, broke my heart. All of this family is on the other side of the world and he didn't even want to celebrate.. glad they did this
-
The fact that “Mom” from the last video helped you get that interview made me so happy!
-
I just noticed that the smile never left my face throughout the entire video.. This is the best video that I've seen in a while

I am 47 years old and this was the first Christmas I was ALONE on Christmas Day. We need more people like this in the world today. I was driving for Uber on Christmas Day. At one point I literally pulled over and sat in my car and started tearing up. I never felt loneliness like that ever in my life.
-
I love the guy who returned the plates to the kitchen. His mom taught him well.
-
“I was probably going to have McDonalds if it weren’t for you “ amazing job bro 👏🏻

This guy is an angel. I teared up watching this. I have an estranged son who won't talk or even tell me why he hates me. I'm preparing for my 4th Christmas alone. I no longer set up a tree or decorations. I'm 59, have nobody, and I'm tired. I wish you all a merry Christmas 2022. Take care all, and goodnight. 🎄

4 years have passed and this is still one of the best videos I have ever seen. Human kindness has no measure ❣️❣️
-
imagine you meet your significant other because of the event.
-
The guy who went out of his way to donate you $100 was probably, too, alone on Christmas once and was so happy to see you doing something like this.

Thumbs up to the cooks and servers who took time out of their xmas day to help. 👍👏❤️
