Army Private Surprises Family for Christmas to Overjoyed Reactions at Blackhawks Game (Video)

These videos never get old, especially around the holidays.

PFC Hunter Taylor hadn’t seen his family since enlisting in the Army — until Monday night. The Chicago Blackhawks arranged a surprise homecoming for Taylor and his family just in time for Christmas during the team’s matchup against the New Jersey Devils .

As these things typically go, Taylor was shown on the Jumbotron sending his family — which was attending the game — a holiday message from Afghanistan. Toward the end of the video, Taylor emerged from the shadows to some pretty awesome reactions from his mom, dad and brothers.

Check it out in the video below, with a hat tip to Barstool Chicago.
