Target's holiday campaign is reminding consumers to take pleasure in the little things in life. During a time of great political and social unrest, it can be hard to see the small joys that make the world a better place. Especially as the holidays near, Target wants to remind viewers that there's magic everywhere, even at home.

The campaign has been aptly titled 'Simple Moments' and centres around a commercial that features a family in their kitchen. The narrator lists off a variety of products sold at Target, and reveals how each item is more than just an inanimate object -- it's an opportunity to create memories. The ad finishes with the tag line "add meaning to every moment."
