On Ellen DeGeneres' greatest night of giveaways, she enlisted the help of Jennifer Aniston to help her surprise the Kimball family. Jeff Kimball and widowed dad to two teenage daughters all appeared on the show as Jennifer and Ellen showed them their surprise. 

Months prior, Elyse Kimball had sent a video of herself telling Ellen that her father Jeff had just lost his job. "He has given all he has got for our family of three. He doesn't deserve this," Elyse says tearing up. Elys's mother passed away from Sarcoma when she was three-years-old leaving Jeff with two baby girls.

"He's all I got. He is my life. He is what gets me through the good and the bad," she says. "For once, I want to give something to him. I want him to get something he deserves, and I can't do this without help."

As Jennifer Aniston watched the video she began to tear up seeing the girl's sincerity and also the hardship that she had to watch her dad go through.

When Ellen invited the family on stage, Jeff told Ellen that her "Finding Nemo" character Dory inspired his wife's battle. "She was going in for a 13-hour surgery. The last thing I did was blow her a kiss and say, 'Just keep swimming,'" he said.

Ellen directed the to their surprise saying, "I know this time of year is important to you, because she really loved Christmas, and we wanted to make Christmas just a little extra special." The screen cut to their house where they had completely lit up the outside with Christmas lights and decorated the inside with decorations and presents. 

But the surprises didn't stop there, Jennifer Aniston gave them an ornament of the Eiffel tower and then both she and Ellen started listing off the destinations in Europe they would be going to for a month.
