Unbear-ably adorbable

Cossette drops a holiday spot for Walmart Canada that will warm your heart.

bearmainYour heart is likely to grow three sizes after watching Walmart Canada’s new AOR Cossette’s paw-sitively adorable holiday spot.

Sam Cooke’s “Bring It On Home To Me” plays in the 60-second video featuring an anthropomorphized stuffed teddy bear with sad little eyes that will sear your soul even if you’re a Grinch.

Multiple YouTube commenters wrote the ad brought them to tears. So, you’ve been warned — get those tissues out before clicking on the video (above).

Update: A Stimulant investigation found that the bear is now sold out on Walmart’s website. We’re very happy for it.
