It says SONG (made famous) by Perry Como, not that he is the singer.

I don't have cable (Acorn TV, HULU, Netflix, Prime) so I haven't seen the current offerings in holiday commercials. This is my most favorite holiday commercial ever, it really tugs at your heart strings it brings tears to my every time I listen/watch : T-Mobile No Place Like Home.

 

It was filmed 12/01/2011 at Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, IL which is 20-25 minutes from my house.

Oh I see it now.  Thought it said "sung" by (my eyes - I do need new glasses).  Sorry.

@Allegheny  ..... Just pulled that commercial up on YouTube. Talk about a sad commercial. I am not sure I could watch it a second time. Became a tear maker after  they arrived at Grandpa's house.

The Chantix turkey is the only commercial I don’t hit the mute button for..I love the details in the commercials and my favorite is the one where he is at the lake with his beach buggy. Haven’t seen many holiday commercials yet but am already sick of the Jared one.

There is a lot of theft from within...the usps offices in Memphis was where I had three packages opened, most of contents stolen, closed back up, and delivered with an almost empty box. I worked with the postmaster in Knoxville, where the packages originated...and they found the same employee in Memphis had stolen from hundreds of packages, including mine. Probably still happening elsewhere as he was “reassigned”.

Call me paranoid, but I don't click on any links anywhere, not even here.  Sorry.  But I noticed it said "sung by Perry Como."  I'm pretty sure the singer on the commercial is not Perry Como - yes I'm that old that I remember him and his TV shows.


You are SO right. That is not Perry Como. Not even close. I remember his voice very well.

One of my favorites was the 2016 Wells Fargo commercial where their wagon and horses assisted a broken down postal truck by taking all the packages to be delivered.  Snowmen gave their carrot noses to the horses so they'd have energy to deliver all the packages.

This gave me chills, head to toe. I wish they would have slowed down the beginning so I could study the scene more. I couldn't tell the postal truck had broken down till I watched again. Anyway, love it.
