Walmart has a cozy commercial for this Christmas season… along with practically everything you could ever think of to buy for the people you love. A couple of things that stand out from this commercial are the stars and the music. Before we get to that, here’s a little refresher, then scroll down for more!
The Mom. The spot opens with a woman receiving a Walmart package. Do you recognize her? It’s actress Vernee Watson, or as I remember her, Vy Smith: a scared mom who sent her son to Bel-Air after he got in one little fight. There are other star actors in the ad, too. You probably recognized Chevy Chase, Agnes from Despicable Me, SpongeBob, Lauren Graham, and Bart and Marge Simpson.
The Music. The song in the ad goes back half of a century. It’s The Temptations with “I Want A Love I Can See” from the 1960s. Great use of a song that highlights what Christmas means to a lot of people, showing love we can see by the gifts we give.
Walmart is usually one of the first to swap their merchandise to holiday-related goods so it makes sense that they’re already showing a Christmas commercial and we’re not even to Thanksgiving yet! Have you seen other Christmas commercials this season?
