A TIMELESS TALE OF SANTA versus a hotel
2024
THE DETAILS
-
After over two years of partnership, Airbnb came to BUCK with a big idea for a holiday short film featuring Santa’s misadventures in trying to deliver gifts in a hotel.
We poured our expertise on this long-running campaign and our love of Christmas into this film, diving into the challenge of a 60-second story with a ton of care and enthusiasm.
It’s virtually impossible to overstate the attention to detail this film demanded. Everything — everything — was crafted with intention. From the curls of Santa’s beard to the stitching of his boots to suitcases, ornaments, sauna control panels, carpet patterns, wrapping paper, pencil cups, neon tubing, and snowmen, nothing was incidental or overlooked.
From start to finish it was a true labor of love. We’re really proud of how it turned out.
