Let’s face it. Even if you can’t stand Christmas carols and holiday hits on the radio every December, they are pretty impossible to avoid.
However, the following video proves that if you just stop to enjoy the magic of the season, sometimes a little bit of music can make all the difference in the world.
In a video from viral video and marketing agency Rob Bliss Creative, we see some very lucky hustling and bustling commuters passing through Chicago‘s legendary Union Station get the surprise that could only come this time of year.
“To bring some holiday cheer to Chicago Union Station, we partnered with Amtrak to create a magical piano that can respond in real-time to its environment,” the video starts.
That’s when you see everyone passing by the piano, in complete confusion. Some pose for photos, while most just walk by wondering how the piano is making noise.

As soon as the commuters are stopped dead in their tracks, the real fun starts to begin, and dozens of people stop rushing to enjoy the very special and rare moment.

A little musical fun even turns some of the biggest Scrooges into little kids again! You just have to smile at this wonderful video, as we all need a little more magic in our lives!
