When you’re a kid, nothing beats Christmas day - the anticipation, the excitement, the deep longing for whatever is on this year’s Christmas list.
No wonder then, that unwrapping Christmas presents can be such an emotional experience!
We’ve found you some of the funniest and some of the most heart-warming clips of that big unwrapping moment.
So sit back, relax and enjoy!
No collection of Christmas clips would be complete without this well-loved classic. Here, a very excited boy and his little sister freak out over the Nintendo 64 they’ve just unwrapped.
Yes, there’s some serious screaming, yes, there’s also some whooping and a whole lot of air-punching - well worth a watch.
When young Michael unwraps his Wii, he embarks on an extraordinary emotional rollercoaster.
Surprise turns to elation as he laughs and laughs, and then cries and cries, before it all gets too much and he starts to feel a wee bit sick and has to dash off to the bathroom! Ah, bless!
This kid goes nuts when he unwraps his XBox 360.
‘I never thought it would come!’, he cries, before launching into a very funky little victory dance, while the family dog howls and barks with delight in the background. Wonderful stuff.
In true rock chick style, this little girl goes wild for her Hannah Montana Sing-a-long Guitar.
She screams (and screams), stage-drops to her knees and finishes with some serious air guitar, declaring ‘Now I can rock n roll!’. Hannah would be proud!
In this clip, 10-year-old Maddy finds her mum and dad have bought her a very cute little kitten for Christmas. She’s sooo excited that she starts to hyperventilate - in a cute, funny kind of way, of course.
And if you’re a cat lover too, there’s plenty of footage of this Christmas kitten frolicking about and being generally adorable.
Ok, now we move from crazy freak-outs to a mini tearjerker. No histrionics or screaming, there’s just pure, unadulterated joy on this little boy’s face as he opens his Christmas present to find a bunny rabbit inside.
Lovely kid, lovely bunny - someone, pass the tissues!
So what happens when you’ve misjudged your child and the present you think is exciting is actually nothing short of terrifying?
Well, just watch what happens to this poor little chap when the remote-controlled dinosaur his grandparents have bought reduces him to tears.
Kids can be brutally honest and Christmastime is no exception. When this feisty 3-year-old unwraps one of his presents to find some picture books, he is not amused.
‘Books for Christmas? What the heck is that?’ This little kid is well and truly miffed! He soon recovers, though, and moves on to the next gift.
So far, it’s been all about the kids, but we can assure you that mums are also capable of a really good freak-out. So what’s the special gift that’s got this mum going? A diamond ring? A new car? No - this lady is over the moon about a vacuum cleaner.
She screams, she claps and she even does a little ‘I’ve got my Dyson dance’. A must-see.
Last but not least, we see what happens when the shoe is on the other paw. This little doggy is super excited about her Christmas gift - an enormous dog bone.
She just doesn’t know where to begin and ends up jumping up and down on the bed in rapture. That’s one happy pooch!
