that reimagines Hershey's Kisses as bells playing the tune"We Wish You a Merry Christmas." This year, the beloved chocolate-maker released a new spin on the commercial, and it includes human actors in addition to the stop-motion candies putting on their annual performance.," a child's hand pops into the frame and grabs a Hershey's Kiss after the candies play a few bars of the song.

"I don't mind an ADDITIONAL holiday commercial for Hershey's, but warping the classic bells commercial SUCKS!" one person commented on the"Look forward to original every year. Why change it?

I dont understand how this is progress. Make a new commercial. Don't erase the past. This is what divides. So unnecessary and ridiculous.

Should have left it

They should have left it alone don’t change it! I love the original one!

Surprise. Somethings do not need to be updated/modernized. They are perfect the way they are.

People get outraged about the silliest crap anymore...

I don't think so.... both commercials are great.... media just stirring the 💩pot again...

Seriously? Outraged? What kind of whack jobs get outraged about that? Probably the same idiots that have Trump Derangement Syndrome.

I haven't seen it yet

I Prefer the ending of the Original, but I Agree with Sheinelle - why not run them Both?!?

What is wrong with a little making cookies with her father. Go home trolls.

dmellieon It's been driving me crazy

I thought the point of them running the same commercial every year during the holidays was that they would then take their marketing budget during that time and give it as a bonus amongst everyone at the company. I'm either wrong or that sentiment is gone.

We're complaining about a commercial now? Grow up

Dumbest PR move ever.....

Bad planning Hersheys. Too much change this year. This actually made it all a little worse. Show both ads.

They have to change the coffee commercial...he can’t come home this year.

Just run both

But a vaccine is just around the corner! Santa is bringing it! So, if you happen 2 be burned out over covid19 remember -

🙏🏻❤️Can someone help us please! I am a single father of 2. I just claimed my last available unemployment benefits this week. I'm hoping to find a new job or get stimulus to keep a place to stay past 12/31. If you can spare it anything helps 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️please God we don't need a lot

I love it it’s darling!

I prefer the original

Typical bs.

They play BOTH, get over it!!!🤔🤬💚❤🎅🎄

First of all, it’s not because the family is black, really people. I just like seeing the last kiss wipe it’s brow. Definitely nostalgia

Thank you! The original commercial brings back so many sentimental memories of when my daughter was a baby. She loved that commercial so much and was mesmerized by the sounds and colors. I was so sad that they changed it. Please keep it around forever! 💚❤️💚❤️💚

I’ve seen both commercials. My grandson loves original. He’ll stop in tracks to listen to it. I like both.

It’s because the family in the new commercial is black! PERIOD🤬

The complaints are ridiculous. They are airing both ads. Also, my husband every year would say “and so it begins” as soon as he hears the epic Hershey’s bell commercial. However, I don’t think there’s an issue playing both. Things evolve.

I ❤️ the original! It didn't need a change!🦋

I love the old ad, just leave it be.

They should run both the original and the updated version!

OMGoodness people, get a real problem.

this is what people are complaining about?

That little girl is so adorable, how can you not love the ad?!?!?

What a stupid thing to be mad about in 2020 🙄

What is wrong with people? I love the ad! Great and fresh! After 30 years we all could use some freshening up!
