The holiday season can be a stressful time for delivery drivers, but a Kentucky couple has managed to brighten some of their days.

Leaving a wide variety of snacks and drinks in a cart on their doorstep, Toni Hillison Barnett and Jason Barnett have captured the priceless reactions of drivers for FedEx and UPS.

You guys are the best,” a UPS deliverer said in one video shared on TikTok as he walked to the door step.

He took pictures of the assortment and rummaged through them, finding exactly what he needed.

“Capri Suns are my favorite!” he said.

UPS commented on the video, thanking the family “for putting a smile on our driver’s face.”

Jason Barnett said his wife puts out the treat cart each year for holiday deliveries.

She shared a video in November of her filling the cart with various drinks, chips, popcorn and granola bars.

“I live for these reactions,” Hillison Barnett said in a Facebook post.

Her initial TikTok post has more than 100,000 views since it was uploaded at the end of November.

When the UPS driver returned, he thanked the couple for helping him go viral.

“You guys are awesome! Thank you,” he said as he picks his snack.
