This is brilliant.

Young Adam King stole the hearts of the nation when he appeared on RTE’s Late Late Toy Show with his virtual hug.

Now his virtual hug will be shared across the world as An Post is transforming it into a special Christmas postmark.

The news was announced on the Late Late Show on Friday night by host Ryan Tubridy who said Adam’s hug would be applied to millions of Christmas cards and letters during the sorting process before Christmas.

“We’re big fans of Adam and his virtual hug,” Richard Miley of An Post Mails & Parcels said.

“As we all send love this Christmas, this special hug on every envelope keeps us all connected, even if we can’t hug in person this year. Thanks Adam, for making the world a whole lot brighter this Christmas.”
