For McKinney’s holiday offering, the agency released Gingerbread BNB, a site allowing visitors to book a virtual stay in one of three elaborate gingerbread houses (Modern Home, Rustic Cabin, or Cozy Camper), with proceeds going to Robin Hood, a New York “initiative to help homeless families off the streets and into safe homes.” After visitors select their gingerbread house to rent or give as a gift they can book their stay and share a postcard and feel good knowing they’ve helped someone in need find a home for the holidays.
The holiday card for McKinney caps off the year on the heels of the agency’s holiday spot for Samsung featuring Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard.
