To celebrate perhaps the most awkward of holiday traditions, AIR MILES released a series of tongue and cheek videos focused on Secret Santa gift exchanges. In addition to the videos, AIR MILES also released some interesting findings from a survey they conducted about Canadians participation in Secret Santa.
The findings revealed that, unsurprisingly, 93 per cent of Canadians have received a bad Secret Santa gift. Canned asparagus, toilet paper and an ant farm are just a few examples of the weirdest and wackiest Secret Santa gifts participants have ever received.
Focusing on the pain points around Secret Santa (you simply can't know all the deep, dark secrets of everyone at the office, after all), each video features a unique story line anyone who's ever given (or received) a bad Secret Santa gift can embarrassingly empathize with.
