Splash some red food colouring on ordinarily white Easter marshmallows, et voila, you’re ready to market your candies to the Christmas crowd. This U.S. spot by The Terri & Sandy Solution for marshmallow brand Peeps positions the chick-shaped delights as a new delicacy from Santa, by having him mimic another imaginary character (your parents told you, right?) as he loudly hops into homes with Candy Cane-flavoured Peeps. Good luck delivering presents undetected now Santa, what with the reindeer already making so much noise on their own.
