Even though they’re very new to the world, newborn babies at UPMC Northwest spread some Christmas cheer Wednesday afternoon at the hospital as nurses dressed them as the tree from Eat’n Park’s classic Christmas Star commercial.

The famous commercial first aired in 1982, and the restaurant is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.

Nurses dressed five newborns as the iconic tree, and a few of the babies tried catching some Z’s after donning the costumes.

But baby Aspen Armburger was getting kicks and laughs out of her attire.
