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.

The exchange occurred after host Rebecca Quick pressed Louisiana Republican and former physician Bill Cassidy on how his party intended to fund the “trillion-dollar tax cuts” sought by President Donald Trump.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
