Can we reunite your military family?

Over the years, some of our most treasured moments at Little Troopers have been helping to reunite military families. Those emotional homecomings create memories that last a lifetime and we're absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to make another very special reunion happen this year!

Once again, we're working with the same broadcaster to create a heartwarming military family reunion to feature in a Christmas Day television programme, just as we have done in previous years.

We're looking for a military family who will be reunited following a period of separation, with filming taking place in November at a very special, festive location! 

As in previous years, we'll work closely with the family to plan a surprise homecoming that will be a truly unforgettable moment. Every detail will be carefully considered and planned together, taking into account the unique circumstances of military life to make the experience as special as possible.

Who we’re looking for

If you or your partner has been serving overseas for 10 weeks or more and is due to return to the UK on any date between 16th and 30th November 2026, we'd love to hear from you!

How to apply

Please email Louise from the team at [email protected] with the following:

• Service person details: service, service number, rank, and name
  (required for MOD Press Office clearance)

• Deployment details

• UK home location (to help with logistics)

• Return date/time (if known)

• Names and ages of your little troopers

We'll then be in touch to discuss the next steps if we can progress your application.

We can’t wait to hear from you and hope we can help create a very special homecoming for your family .
