Norway’s postal service, Posten, released a heartwarming Christmas commercial that captures a love story between Santa and his boyfriend to mark 50 years since same-sex relationships were decriminalized in the country.

The nearly 4-minute long commercial called “When Harry met Santa,” shows the moment Harry first meets Santa — when he is dropping off presents at Harry’s home. The two share a special glance before Santa moves on to the next house on his busiest day of the year.

Their exchanges continue to happen over the years, with Harry making extra effort to look nice for his annual romantic meeting with Santa. In one emotional farewell, he lets Kriss Kringle know that he’ll miss him.
