While most families unwrap presents on Christmas, one Instagram video showed a snowy wonderland with five exuberant Golden Retrievers. Instagram user and paw parent, @perfectgoldenbanks, posted the video showing the Golden Retrievers charging down a snow-covered lane and playing through frosted trees. The on-screen caption read, “POV: It’s Christmas morning and your family has 5 golden retrievers,” and the video truly revealed how it was “The BEST morning.”
Owner shows what Christmas morning with 5 Golden Retrievers looks like
In the video from Christmas morning, the Golden Retrievers ran through knee-deep snow with each other in a pack. You can almost hear the happy yips that make Goldens — a breed that thrives on activity and social interaction — such beloved companions on a crisp winter day. Snow brings out their natural instincts to explore, fetch, and romp about. Moreover, a group outing like this also strengthens the bond between dog and handler — and if you have five dogs, between the dogs themselves.
Viewers weighed in on the scene. One of them asked, “Is this heaven?? ?” while another agreed that it “Looks perfect to us.” Meanwhile, other fans chimed in on the same theme: “That’s what I imagine heaven looks like,” “So can I come to your family Christmas next year?” and also calling it “Heaven on earth.” Several commenters even joked about signing up for doggy daycare at the video creator’s place so they could join the fun.
Whether you have a Golden Retriever or not, this video captures the simple magic of a snowy Christmas morning spent outdoors. The dogs need nothing fancy — they are just five happy dogs at play, the fresh snow underfoot, and the kind of joy that makes any holiday feel really special. At a time when many of us seek moments of pure happiness, this snowy romp is a delightful reminder that sometimes the best gifts are the ones that you cannot unwrap.
