A cute video has emerged from the US of a soldier being reunited with his siblings for Christmas after eleven months away.

The footage, shot in Independence, KY on December 18 last year, shows the man surprising his relatives during a family meeting.

''Our son came Home after 11 months for Christmas. We told his siblings he was unable to come home and it would be several months longer before they would see him'', the filmer later wrote online.

''All along his father and I knew he was coming! We set up this surprise reunion with them all,'' she continued.
