In the snuggly season of winter, we’re all just looking for someone to love—even the robots.

This heartwarming video from Sphero, posted on the Australian Star Wars Facebook page, features everybody’s favorite soccer ball droid from The Force Awakens falling in love with a familiar-shaped Christmas ornament.

It’s like the love story from Wall-E and the annual John Lewis tearjerkers got together and had an adorable baby.
