Content creator Ellie (@elllie_bells), a Cuban native, has captured the internet's attention by bringing her American boyfriend to celebrate the holiday season with her family in Cuba.

What initially seemed like a calm getaway turned into an entertaining escapade that has delighted thousands of followers on social media.

In her videos, Ellie showcases how her "gringo" boyfriend is embracing island life, from sleeping under a mosquito net to avoid insect bites, to walking barefoot on the dirt patio, playing with the family dog, and even spending time with her nephews.

However, what truly fascinated Ellie's online followers was the astonishing way her boyfriend drinks a Cristal beer in just two seconds.

In one of the clips, the tourist reveals his "trick" for consuming a Cristal. He opens the can from the side and downs it in one gulp, leaving the Cuban family in disbelief and laughter.

The video has garnered thousands of views and numerous humorous comments from Cubans both on the island and abroad, with many joking that the foreigner "deserves a spot in the family's ration book."
