Little girl reacts to receiving broccoli for Christmas
That might sound absurd to some people, but this young girl's reaction speaks volumes about her eating habits.
You wouldn't usually associate broccoli with Christmas unless you serve it as a steamed side dish during Christmas lunch.
We can attest to stories of parents struggling to get their kids to eat broccoli. Let's face it: it might not be the most appealing vegetable, so we cannot blame them.
Even though smelly broccoli isn't the first choice for many, it has a host of health benefits; not only is it filled with vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds, but it also helps with blood sugar levels and is said to support heart health.

A child who completely surprised us with her Christmas gift reaction has won our hearts over. In a video posted on Instagram, we see the young girl dressed in a cute Santa dress unwrapping her Christmas gift.
She sits on the floor and excitedly rips apart the wrapping paper. When she gets to the gift and realises that it is a head of broccoli, we are surprised to see her jump up in excitement and hug the broccoli as if it were a plush toy.
The young child then jumps up and down and everyone giggles and laughs in excitement with her.
