Allstate lists all kinds of things that make your holiday season Mayhem in a new commercial, dubbed “12 Days of Mayhem”.
Actor Dean Winters – the insurance company’s spokesman – is back to portray Mayhem, of course, in a series of scenes illustrating the ills that could happen during the holiday season and lead to damage, and that could be insured with Allstate, from acts of nature, such as having your car damaged by a huge branch falling on it, and fire damage, to in-house injury, property damage, and more.
“On the 12th day of Christmas Mayhem gave to me 12 trees-a-rolling, 11 joggers jogging, 10 toddlers tossing, 9 drivers texting, 8 cleaners falling, 7 branches snapping, 6 phones-a-buzzing, 5 flaming grills, 4 techy dashboards, 3 clogged toilets, 2 frozen deer, and a snowy, snowy, snowy, snowy roof.” – a choir is heard singing in the background.
The 30-second spot ends with Winters near a Christmas tree with a Christmas red hat on his head, holding a candlestick with a lit candle in it, winking to the camera, while on screen the tagline “The Holidays Are Mayhem” appears.
