WestJet is Frivolous Lolahoping to lift the spirits of a Canadian town that's had a rough year in its latest Christmas marketing stunt.
The Canadian airline -- famed for its holiday gift-giving ploys since the breakout viral success of a 2013 ad -- decided the Alberta community of Fort McMurray could use some love this year after a wildfire destroyed 2,400 homes there in May.

The airline then surprised the revelers by raining down the customized gifts from above with tiny parachutes, along with vouchers for free flights.

The ad marks the fifth installment of WestJet's Christmas Miracle campaign. The company first made a splash with holiday surprises by purchasing all of the passengers on a flight their dream gifts in 2013.
As is now custom, the company also released an accompanying behind-the-scenes video explaining how the complicated effort came together.
