Whiskey Brand's Christmas Ad Featuring Grandpa Learning To Put On Makeup Has Emotional Twist

J&B is being praised for their inclusive holiday ad that speaks volumes without saying a word.

J&B, a whiskey company, recently moved viewers to tears with its holiday commercial centered on accepting transgender people.

The Spanish commercial features an older individual using their wife's lipstick at first before furtively assembling their own makeup kit and hiding in a bathroom to apply their entire face. Although already heartwarming, the Christmas commercial gets sweeter as it goes along as we witness the person become more accepting of themselves.


Their transgender granddaughter, who is originally introduced as Alvaro but whom they quickly recognize as a kindred soul, shows up toward the end of the dialog-free advertisement and they share their makeup with her.

Alvaro's real name, Ana, comes on the screen as they both make their way back outside to the rest of the family, and what transpires is a lovely moment of acceptance.

People got a bit choked up, to say the least.





One person commented about her own family's story.

Many others added in they appreciate the message of the commercial, even if it is ultimately a commercial about whiskey.




Christmas commercials can often be a time for artistic creativity and love, so perhaps there will be more like this going forward.

Which, with SNL, usually means some cast changes—out with the old (and sometimes not so old) and in with the new. Show creator and producer Lorne Michaels recently announced SNL would return on October 4 with a literal handful—five—cast changes.

Kari Lake Slammed After Warning Parents Not To Send Their Kids To College After Charlie Kirk Murder

Speaking during a memorial service for far-right activist Charlie Kirk at the Kennedy Center, failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake—now the Trump administration's Senior Advisor for the U.S. Agency for Global Media—called U.S. colleges “indoctrination camps” and urged parents not to send their children.

Lake ignored the fact that Kirk was killed while speaking at a college, in this case Utah Valley University (UVU), the largest university by enrollment in Utah.

Vance made the claim after Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah—a Black woman—said she was dismissed from the paper following social media posts on gun control and race after Kirk’s assassination.

Trump Swiftly Fact-Checked After Making Bonkers Claim About How Many Americans Died From Drugs Last Year

President Donald Trump was criticized after attempting to justify the bombing of a suspected Venezuelan drug boat by asserting that 300 million people died from drugs last year.

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Trump was asked about the order he gave earlier this month to destroy a boat he suspected of transporting drugs off the coast of Venezuela, rather than simply intercepting it. All 11 people on board the boat were killed.
