A little girl's genuine glee at getting a banana for Christmas has warmed the hearts of social media users.

YouTube star LGND, who has 1.1 million Instagram followers, decided to prank his two-year-old daughter Aria by letting her open one of her Christmas presents a few days early — and handing her a gift-wrapped banana.

But while some little girls might have been disappointed not to get dolls or sparkly bows, Aria practically squeals in delight when she sees the yellow fruit.

LGND and his wife are in their dully-decorated living room when he asks the little girl if she'd like to open one of her presents early.

He then picks out what is clearly a banana by shape, which has been covered in Santa wrapping paper.

Aria, sitting on the couch in cute matching pajamas, seemed thrilled merely by the excitement of gift opening, and exclaims over the shiny bow on the outside.

But when she tears open the paper and sees the fruit inside, she throws her hands up and excitedly says, 'Banana!'
