The Magic of Macy’s at Christmas ($25 GC Giveaway - 12/5)
This holiday season, they're at it again! Macy’s BELIEVE
campaign builds on the great success of last year’s holiday effort to
support the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. Macy’s is adding to the spirit of
“Believe” with a national Santa Tour, an honorary National Believe Day,
a “Yes, Virginia” animated special, and a new TV commercial featuring
Queen Latifah.
The nostalgic holiday campaign was
inspired by the New York Sun’s famous “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus” editorial from 1897 and includes letter-writing “Believe
Stations” in Macy’s stores across the country. For each letter
received, Macy’s will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, up to $1
million.
Here are a few things to watch for this Holiday Season:
Macy’s “The Trek” TV Commercial –
The new national television spot called “The Trek” features Virginia
making the trip from her home to Macy’s, where Queen Latifah helps her
mail her letter to Santa.
Macy’s National Santa Tour
– Following his celebratory kickoff of the holiday season in the Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade, Santa will embark on a whirlwind tour across
America, greeting young boys and girls and spreading holiday joy.
National Believe Day / “Yes, Virginia” Animated Special
– On Friday, December 11th, Macy’s will celebrate the first National
Believe Day to recognize and reward acts of kindness and generosity
from coast to coast. Also that day, CBS will premiere a new original
animated special called, “Yes, Virginia.” on Friday, December 11, at 8
p.m. ET.
Here's the trailer for the animated special:
