‘TIS THE SEASON for lovely ads that makes you inexplicably emotional. (The John Lewis ad should be along any day now, right?)

Vodafone Ireland has just unveiled its latest TV ad and it’s pulling the heartstrings of people all over Ireland.

The ad, a remake of a Vodafone New Zealand television ad, is absolutely adorable and the people of Ireland are in love.

It’s giving people all the feels

You know you're in leaving cert when a burnt pop tart and the Vodafone ad about the pig is enough to bring you to tears

In fact, it’s so good, that people are willingly sitting through it on YouTube

We think there’s going to be an increase in the number of pet pigs in Ireland…

The absolute best thing about the ad, though? We don’t have to see the singing dad anymore.

Whoops!

Thank heavens for that.

This couple revealed a little too much when they announced their engagement on Facebook >

The little pig!

The ad follows a man named Dónal, who finds a little pig at the Sally Gap.

“You don’t know anyone out your way who keeps pigs, do you?”

He feeds the pig custard creams!

And they become the best of pals.

He saves her from a pig farm.
