Cheerios Recreates Classic Commercial to Bring Holiday Cheer

This year, families are experiencing a holiday season like never before. The usual gatherings of friends and family have been replaced by social distancing and staying within our own circles. This unique situation has brought about a mix of nostalgia and longing, which TikTok creators have expressed through their content.

One creator even made a video reminiscing about a classic Cheerios commercial from the 90s and how it relates to 2020. The video struck a chord with many people, and Cheerios, taking note of the community's response, decided to recreate this sense of togetherness. They worked quickly to write, produce, and track down all the original actors, including the baby, and released a series of TikTok videos announcing the much-anticipated "part 2" of the 20-year-old commercial.

Just in time for the Christmas holiday, Cheerios released the new commercial on TikTok, which was filled with the emotions and nostalgia that users were hoping for during this challenging holiday season. This process of creating a unique commercial reboot is one of the ways TikTok connects communities and brings ideas to life. It also provided everyone involved with much-needed warmth and comfort during a time when physical proximity to loved ones may not be possible.
