“This Christmas, make ’em smile!”

Merry Seventies Christmas! I hope your celebrations have been warm and enjoyable. Let’s finish off the vintage holiday commercials for this year with spots for Kraft, Hickory Farms, Butterball (with James Harder, Mary Jo Catlett, and Nancy Dussault), and the Wear-Ever Super Shooter.

I’ve got something slightly different planned for the next installment – so, do stay tuned.
