The joyous holidays often bring feelings of overwhelm and stress to the season and IKEA is recognizing this with its latest series of ads that invite people to Take A Holiday From The Holidays. These festive spots depict people taking breaks from all the festivities and finding peace and tranquility in their surroundings.
In one short, 15-second spot called Bathroom, a woman escapes the madness of a holiday party to find a brief moment of calm in a quiet bathroom, where she sinks her feet into a plush bath mat. Set to the tune of I Think We’re Alone Now, the ads from IKEA Canada remind people how easy it can be to recenter themselves during the chaos of family gatherings, parties and New Year's Eve celebrations.
