Henry-Alex Rubin of SMUGGLER directed this “Holiday Unboxing” spot for Dunkin’ out of Leo Burnett Chicago, scored by music and sound design house Beacon Street Studios.

The commercial is shot from the donuts’ POV, looking up from a box at the happy folks–including Santa himself–seeking to grab a treat for themselves.

An inspired song accompanies the action. Here’s a taste of the lyrics:

“The world’s got you feeling glazed over,
Sprinkle some love all around.
Just climb your way up, outta that hole,
And you’ll be the taste of the town.
Grab the one thing that everyone’s lovin’.
And as it happens, they come by the dozen.
Everybody loves a donut.”

Beacon Street composers were Andrew Feltenstein, John Nau and Danny Dunlap, with Rommel Molina serving as sound designer/mixer.
