Christmas Favorites-Campbell's Soup

As we approach the holiday season, miniscule additions to everyday life are making everything feel Christmas-y. The piney smell of winter, the cool breeze, red noses. But I have my own holiday favorites that make the season so special and unforgettable. 

Several years ago, Campbell's Soup began airing a holiday-theme commercial for Chicken Noodle Soup. A snowman, chilled to the bone quite literally, makes a long trek through the winter weather and walks through a door of a cozy home. He sits at the kitchen table where a piping hot bowl of chicken noodle soup awaits him. As he slurps, the snow melts away, revealing a young boy, drenched but now warm. And happy, now that Campbell's rests in his belly. I'm sure everyone's seen it; it's been playing every holiday season for the past several years. But the warmth it gives off helps welcome Christmas and kicks off the long-awaited tidings and cheer.
