Published

WELL, it’s certainly giving retail giants such as John Lewis a run for their money in the heartstring-tugging stakes. A Kerry café has got people talking everywhere thanks to its ad, entitled Christmas Is Better Together.

Shot in black and white, the film shows an elderly man sitting on his own and glancing at his watch before strolling away as snow begins to fall. The footage culminates with a little girl meeting the gentleman and the pair walking together to the café.

Yummy Cafe in Tralee shared its video on its Facebook page where customers were swift to share their reactions. "This is so beautiful. Well done guys. Gives John Lewis and the rest of them a run for their money," wrote Katelyn Nolan while Mary O'Connell wrote, "Wonderful, Magical, Awesome and very moving!"
