New Parents Stage Epic Lion King Style Baby Reveal Amid COVID Restrictions

With the coronavirus pandemic still raging, many of us have had to keep a distance from our loved ones again this Christmas.

However, one family decided that the restrictions were not going to get in the way of them introducing their newborn, coming up with a very novel strategy.

In a clip, which has gone viral on TikTok with more than 5.7 million views, we can see the impressive moment that a baby is first seen by relatives.

Shared to the app by a woman named Margaret, known online as Aprettycoolgirl, the footage begins be showing a window sill complete with soft toys and a board that reads "Ethan Hanful Ingraham. Dec 16 2021."

Text overlaying the video explains: "My brother put on this whole presentation so we could see my new nephew (from outside) and this was the grand finale..."

The curtains then part to reveal a small baby in a crib in a living room surrounded by Christmas decorations.

The song "Circle of Life" from the Disney film "The Lion King" is playing in the background while the overlaying text reads "wait for it..." and the suddenly crib lights up.

Margaret captioned the hilarious video, which can be watched here, writing: "Who says Covid precautions have to ruin everything - this was epic #christmas #covidchristmas #newborn #baby."
