One military family received the best gift of all this holiday: their dad.

After a nine-month deployment, Trent Baskerville finally returned home to Fort Campbell. Baskerville and his wife decided to go with a more festive homecoming and enlisted the help of Santa Claus to make sure the event was extra special for his daughters.

In the clip, Santa asks Baskerville's oldest daughter if there was anything else she wanted for Christmas, to which she replies, "I want my Daddy to come home."

Little did she know that her father was hiding just behind a massive stack of presents.
