Printed tagline:got milk?
Notes
Santa Claus finds a brownie and no milk, and takes back the presents.
Made by: California Milk Processor Board; agency Goodby, Silverstein & Partners.
Got Milk? The Book (1999) describes the Christmas spot twice without a date: as a shoot that went wrong and was not run (pp. 94–95), and as an aired spot that drew complaints, so that it was scheduled only after 9 p.m. (pp. 105, 115). The book does not reconcile the two.
The year is the uploader’s (“(1996) Got Milk? Santa Claus Commercial”); other fan uploads date it between 1993 and 2000.
