Hershey’s Chocolate decided to try something a little bit different with their Hershey’s Kisses “Wish You A Merry Christmas” Commercial. It went about how you would expect, the internet left searching for its mind. The new commercial starts off the same way as the classic, those cute Kisses playing the familiar Christmas carol when out of nowhere this staple of the holidays is interrupted. See for yourself…
Of course, there’s nothing really controversial about the ad. It’s sweet with a Daughter and Dad making Blossom Cookies, but people were not happy. I gotta admit, it was a bit jarring changing something so iconic. Musically, changing the composition mid melody grated on me like nails on a chalkboard, though it was snappy. The internet raged leading Hershey’s to say, “We played it before we didn’t play it” since they played the original for a while this season until November 23rd and then switched to the new. The company will now be playing both in full throughout the holidays. I wish they would make them two distinct commercials, but hey they don’t ask me. If you need to see the original in full, it’s down below. The full story came from Today
