LONDON — London’s busiest airport has launched its first Christmas video campaign, featuring two aging teddy bears as they arrive at the airport on their way home for the holidays.
"It captures tender moments between the couple; from the wife gently waking her sleeping husband in his seat, to his protective arm helping her onto the escalator," a news release from the airport said.
The commercial was filmed over the course of three days inside the airport and then was launched over YouTube and other social media sites.

“We love the film and hope the bears’ journey through the airport captures that excitement you feel when walking through Heathrow arrivals into the arms of your loved ones at Christmas,” Heathrow Airport commercial director Jonathan Coen said. “Christmas is my favorite time of year at Heathrow – the airport is abuzz with families and friends reuniting for this special time of year.”
According to the news release, Heathrow is the UK’s hub airport, home to more than 80 airlines connecting to more than 180 destinations. Every year Heathrow welcomes over 70 million passengers with a commitment to "making every journey better."
Among the millions of seasonal passengers, we've had some extra-special arrivals that have made it home in time for the big day...because coming home for Christmas is the #BestGiftOfAll 🎄🎁
