Holiday Magic: Lucy & the Reindeer
微软今年圣诞节推出一支充满想象力的视频广告《Holiday Magic: Lucy & the Reindeer》，讲述了一个充满好奇心的小女孩借助微软翻译器和驯鹿对话的故事。基于翻译器的产品功能，借助小孩子的想象力，以和驯鹿对话的方式打破语言障碍，把圣诞节魔幻的气氛渲染出来，也把自家产品借势推出。
广告一开始，充满好奇心的小女孩和她的宠物狗在望着窗外，似乎在等待着什么到来。
回到家里看到她妈妈在Surface平板电脑上工作，一旁的爸爸表示：“这很酷，不是吗？你妈在借助微软翻译器和日本商人做生意，他们讲的日语，但你妈可以翻译成英语。”
这件事启发了小小的她……突然一对驯鹿出现在院子里，她赶紧跑下楼拿起 Surface 跑到驯鹿面前，她通过翻译器问驯鹿能否听懂她讲话，翻译器翻出来一阵驯鹿的咕咕咕叫声。驯鹿回答咕咕咕，翻译器翻译：“可以。”
她惊了！真的可以啊！然后她就抛出了一连串关于圣诞节的问题：“你们是怎么飞起来的？夏天的时候圣诞老人在做什么？你们的雪橇是怎么制成的？……”
最后画面中出现文字：“用60多种语言说节日快乐，但驯鹿的语言还不是其中之一。”
该视频广告由麦肯 McCann 纽约代理，它将在梅西百货（Macy）感恩节大促期间开始投放，并持续到12月，投放媒介涵盖了电视、电影院、数字和社交渠道等。
