We all know that the big guy from the North Pole likes to take a midnight ride on his reindeer guided sleigh on Christmas Eve each year, but what about when he is south, of the North Pole? Recently, some very deserving children from Big Brothers Big Sisters Toronto got to find out when they were treated to a special visit from Santa himself. ♥
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Toronto (BBBST) is a non-profit organization that brings together young people who need a positive role model in their lives. The volunteer big siblings are people who want to lend not only their time, but their hearts as well, to children and youth who need it most. These life-changing relationships help empower our youth to reach their potential, all while developing a special connection with their new friend. With Big Brothers Big Sisters Toronto, everyone is a winner. 🙂
The fine folks at Hyundai Canada wanted to bring some extra holiday cheer to BBBST this year, so they asked Santa to come for a visit. They even provided him with special transportation, riding onboard the Santa Fe Sleigh! And since Santa’s four-legged helpers are resting up for the big ride on December 25th, Hyundai Canada made sure he had his elves on hand to help out. Between that and the safety features of the Santa Fe Sleigh, Santa had no worries on this trip. 🙂
This remarkable event gave Santa the opportunity to meet some of the lovely “Bigs” and “Littles” (big brothers and sisters, with their charges) and truly make this year a holiday to remember. The children were each given a gift wish list item, to take home and treasure always. Hyundai Canada wanted to share this wonderful start to the season by sharing their video of the day with all of us. Can’t you just feel the love and joy radiating from everyone? ♥

The smiles from those children just warms my heart and gives me all the feels. ♥ Kind of makes me want to be a kid again. Would you like to take a ride in the jolly ole elf’s #SantaFeSleigh? 😉
Happy Holidays!

This is a wonderful thing that Hyundai are doing. I remember some of my children being big sisters, a worthy cause indeed.
This is amazing! Big Brothers & Big sisters has such an impact. My cousin was a big sister 20 years ago.. to a girl who was 6 years younger.
They are still friends today..and Sherry has become like a mother to her.
What a wonderful thing to do!
It’s always great to see companies supporting such worthwhile causes like Big Brothers Big Sisters.
A great worthwhile promotion from Hyundai.
It’s really nice when companies give back to worthwhile organizations and charities
Thanks for sharing a lovely story, Suzanne! It is so nice to see how this Season can bring the goodness out in people.
Very heart warming. I’d love to ride in the ole elf’s sleigh
Big Brothers Big Sisters is such a great organization! It’s so nice to see Hyundai helping to spread a little extra joy for the children.
I love the generosity at Christmas from people and businesses… would be nice if some of this carried on throughout the year.
I love reading things like this. Makes my insides all warm and fuzzy!
I like the ‘Santa Fe Sleigh’ great pun. Such a fun way to spread joy to the children
I love the fact that Hyundai are giving back in this way – Big Brothers and Big Sisters is a much needed programme and I think this is good for both the the big and the little kids, it’s good for both sides.
This is a great cause and much needed! We need as much good in this world as we can get!
This is so great of them and for such a great cause!!
That is so sweet ! I love seeing companies give back to the people and even more when its not just a donation , but a heart felt action , these kids will remember that forever ! Love it Hyundai Canada ! You rock !
I love reading stories like this!
This is one of the best programs Canada has… big sisters/big brothers… so much emptiness and void is filled by this wonderful program….
Yes, I would love to take a ride in the #SantaFeSleigh! 🙂
I would absolutely love to do something like that. Very heartwarming.
What an adorable kid. And I love the big brothers and sisters organization. The greatest gift really is love.
