A touching tribute to 2020 from Villa Maria Estate

With thousands of Kiwis unable to return home this year, Villa Maria Estate has launched its Christmas campaign that captures the sentiment of this year’s festive period.

 Showing a real-life family celebrating the holiday season, with children excitedly unwrapping gifts and the family enjoying time around the dinner table, the content goes on to acknowledge the impacts of Covid-19 by capturing the grandad connecting with his daughter and meeting his new granddaughter for the first time via video call.

 With half a million New Zealanders expected to return home within the next two years, all of whom have been unable to visit their homeland since the borders closed, video calls will take centre stage at Christmas, making this campaign a touching tribute to the 2020 holiday season.

 Launching today, Villa Maria’s campaign will be shared with consumers in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the UK and USA all the way through the festive season, to encourage friends and families to make those video calls, raise a glass and share special moments from afar.
