A 3-year-old's jubilant reaction during a holiday performance is melting everyone's hearts online.

Chelsea Krow shared a TikTok video of her daughter Emmy at her holiday dance recital earlier this week. In the accompanying caption, Krow wrote, "Pure joy when she finds her family in the crowd."

As the video plays, a voice off-camera yells out "Emmy!" and as Emmy turns toward the voice, she grins from ear to ear and laughs before giving an enthusiastic wave toward the audience and wiping away tears of joy.
