But now, a group of young people in Scotland has gone viral for approaching a total stranger's door and doing something else, as Stephanie Prentice reports.

We can't answer the door right now.

A pre-recorded message on the doorbell of a house in Scotland.

The video recording linked to it shows five boys, all dressed in black, standing at the top of a residential driveway.

Erin Chalmers lives there, but she was at work and got an urgent message from her husband.

My husband had just sent a message saying, you need to look at the ring doorbell when you get your phone.

To be honest, I was expecting the worst.

You see five kids, bikes, dark clothing, hoodies.

As Erin worried about whether they were up to mischief, and if her plant pots were still there, she wasn't ready for what happened next.

If you'd like to leave a message, you can do it now.

Erin couldn't stop watching the clip.

She wanted to share the joy with others and find the children.

I posted it on TikTok and it just went mental.

It was the kids that found the video first.

They were then tagging their friends and they were direct messaging me, being, oh, that's me.

The video racked up millions of views and the boys' last Christmas led to their first TV appearances all around the world.

The lens picking up something a bit more festive and it has gone viral.

The video, you know, it's now been viewed 1.5 million times.

I think it's the accent.

I can't do the Scottish accent.
