It doesn’t take a whole lot of unwrapping to find the inspiration for Olipop’s new holiday heartwarmer. The animated tale of two lovable but misunderstood yetis has a look meant to elicit Claymation Christmas classics like Rankin/Bass’ “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” And if it calls to mind the kind of tender sentiment so consistently demonstrated by Coca-Cola Co. in its holiday advertising, all the better.
