ATCO, N.J. (WHTM) — A New Jersey woman posted a video of her kids getting scared by the Grinch during a holiday photo shoot, and it’s going viral.

Instagram user @ashleymariemua posted the video Tuesday and said, “My kids couldn’t wait to meet the grinch this weekend! I’d say it went well.”

In the video, you can see two young children, dressed in adorable holiday pajamas, having their photo taken.

Then, to their surprise – and terror – the Grinch appears.

The children spot him and without hesitation run as fast as they can to flee the figure emerging from the Christmas sweater-clad Grinch.

The video has gotten thousands of views and comments.
