The makers of M&M’s have created a sequel to the classic Christmas commerical that debuted 20 years ago and has been shown every year since. The ad, which debuted in 1996, shows M&Ms mascots Red and Yellow running into Santa Claus delivering gifts on Christmas Eve, and both Red and Santa faint in surprise that the other exists.
Original:
In the new sequel, Yellow takes over to deliver Santa’s gifts, but delivers them to the wrong homes. However, in the end it highlights the spirit of Christmas, as neighbors come outside their homes and warmly interact as they give each other the right gifts. The ad will debut tonight (November 29th) during the broadcast of the annual Christmas Tree lighting at Rockefeller Center in New York City.
