Expedia and St Jude's "Santa Flies Coach" (2014) 3:17 (USA)

Santa Flew all over the world earning Expedia points to donate to St Jude's Children's Hospital. Because now you can donate your Expedia points to St Jude's. I love watching the end, which is quite moving and yeah good luck keeping a dry eye. Whoever they cast as Santa was spot on-- from the way he's sitting at the airport bar, telling the bartender to "keep it coming," on his milk, to the way he interacts with those brave kids at St Jude's. It's a beautiful spot.
Except of course at the end, when we have to get to the stupid product demo on the tablet. Because holy shit, Expedia, it's 2014. We all know how to access your site by now. Way to ruin something beautiful with your stupid ass in-your-face branding.
