After Sam gives Santa the rundown and the toy-delivering elf-overlord completes his purchases, he begins dancing with Mrs. Claus in their house out of sheer joy.

This were given numerous other folks pondering that perhaps the director of the commercial went even further for a PF reunion of sorts and ended up enlisting the assistance of Uma Thurman to be Mrs. Claus in the ad.
