AMVBBDO and Plenty set out to portray a more honest version of a typical family Christmas and all the mess that comes with it. Set to the tune Love Hurts by Nazareth, the spot shows festivities through the eyes of a man home for the holidays. He has to endure puking kids, weeing dogs, floored turkey, and relatives who don’t lock toilet doors. It’s not the most wonderful time of year, it’s a test of love. But we wouldn’t have it any other way.
