To celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, BBH New York has created a heartwarming spot for the retailer that tells the story of a man who has visited the annual parade every year since he was a child. In the spot, which is set in the 1920s when the parade first began, a Santa Claus balloon towering over the streets of New York City looks down and winks at a young boy he sees smiling up at him. Every year after that, the boy returns to that same spot to smile at Santa Claus when he passes by during the parade. When the man becomes elderly and can no longer make it out to the parade, the Santa Claus balloon flies away from the parade to find his old friend and say hello.
