Chocolates and Cars and Trees, Oh My!

by Kim Brussell


Before all advertising discussions turn to the television spots that air during "the big game" next month, we'd like to hear from you about your favorite holiday season commercials.

We saw everything from oldies but goodies like the Hershey Kisses spot where the little chocolate candies act as bells playing the classic "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" carol, to Santa selling cars for Chevy and Target's "Done" campaign which positioned retailers as "the" place to take care of everything on your holiday to-do list. Allstate even worked the holiday season into its well-received "Mayhem" campaign with a spot focusing on the danger of a Christmas tree tied to the roof of a car (see below).

What television spot captured your attention this holiday season and why?

Check out the "Mayhem" spot here:

    It was not a holiday spot, but I still love seeing the VW spot with the kid dress up as Darth Vader.
