This homage to the beloved Rankin and Bass holiday specials of yesteryear, like Rudolf the Rednosed Reindeer and Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, was created in-house by The Ottawa Visitors Center's Digital Media Producer, Joey Urso. "We knew the commercial would be playing in Chicago, which has a long history of Christmas specials like Suzy Snowflake and Hardrock, Coco and Joe. We decided to play on that nostalgia, capturing the spirit of those old specials,” Urso said.
