This upcoming holiday season is really reminding us of when we had Christmas in September (kind of).

For this ad, we had to jump forward. The decorations were easy but making un-meltable snow in September came at no easy feat. Many cans of shaving cream and boxes of baking soda later and we had this beautiful scene.
