Best Buy Co Inc (NYSE:BBY) is getting into the Christmas spirit by surprising a teenager with a Wii U console.

Best Buy Co IncThe company could be on the verge of getting a lot of holiday love from consumers as some of its worker did something inspiring over the weekend. Employees at a Valley Stream, New York noticed a young boy who often visited the store and played video games.

Best Buy and other retailers often have video game displays where consoles are locked inside safe places and its controllers are attached to the screen, but you can still use them to try out a variety of games. This boy showed up every day to play the Wii U with the hopes and dreams of having his own.

One day, the Valley Stream workers all decided to pitch in to help out the kid who couldn’t afford video games, giving him the surprise of his life. The teenager’s name was not released, but a video posted on YouTube by Rahiem Storrr shows workers presenting him with the gift.

The move could be a publicity stunt, but the video suggests that the surprise was genuine as the rush of emotions that surged within the kid would give you goosebumps. “On behalf of all of us here at Best Buy, we bought you a Wii so that you don’t have to come in here every day and play,” one Best Buy worker said.

BBY shares fell 0.6% Monday.
