The final holiday before the year ends is only weeks away and it happens to be the biggest! it’s every child’s favorite season (because of all the presents) and maybe it’s every parent’s least favorite (because of all the presents). Dollar bills flying out of wallets, credit cards wearing out from all the swiping, online stores on backorder from all the late night and last minute purchases. But what about Santa? For 364 days he sits on his rump waiting for December 25th, we can call Christmas his Super Bowl. All the cookies and milk left out for him are his mid-game snack. But I guess too much of a good thing is a bad thing? How about some variety courtesy of Frito Lay! Check out their commercial offering Santa something a little less traditional this season…
The Music. The commercial uses two familiar songs as the backbone of the story. The first is called “In the Hall of the Mountain King” by Edvard Grieg in the late 1800s.
The next song is very familiar to anyone who has ears. It’s Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.”
For holiday ads, this one is right up there with the more enjoyable ones! My top favorite is the Chevrolet “A Holiday To Remember” commercial. A real tear-jerker! The ad on Santa’s naughty list is the Bud Light Peyton Manning ad. Is it a Christmas ad? Maybe, maybe not. But some don’t think Die Hard is a Christmas movie and Bud Light is dying real hard… with a vengeance.
