I liked that one. I also like the Norelco Santa commercial they ran every year, in which Santa rides in the head of a Norelco electric shaver across a Winter wonderland.
It sounds like I'm being snarky but I'm really not.
Even now you can feel the optimism dripping in that jingle. My grade school choir sang that every year for three years straight, that and It's A Small World. 70s- good times good times.

I'll look for it.
The original version of this commercial, which wasn't connected to any holiday, can be found here:

Ah yes, buy a coke, end the war.
I was in junior high at the time. It brings back memories.
I like the inclusive world view. Imagine all those people who might buy the product.
Seems like there were several versions, Jeff.
I bet admit I like some of the Hallmark Hall of Fame commercials more than the movies, including the Hanukah one they no longer seem to run.

I remember that one for sure.
