Colonel Sanders Is Coming to Town in KFC's Holiday Spots
St. Nicholas or a Chicken Salesman?

KFC's zany Colonel Sanders reboot has been pretty funny so far, and now it continues in a series of holiday-themed spots in which the Colonel doubles as Santa. Even when his decision to come down a chimney gets him stuck, he perseveres with his chicken salesmanship, commenting as a family (hilariously) unwrap their gifts -- which despite looking like bikes, puppies and suchlike, are actually KFC combos.
Other, shorter clips promote KFC's $5 fill-ups and $20 Familiy fill-ups, with the Colonel still promoting them from within the echoey chimney. W&K Portland created the ads, with Biscuit's Matt Dilmore directing.
