London’s Heathrow Airport had a surprise holiday hit last year with “Coming Home for Christmas,” a spot by Havas London that showed two elderly teddy bears landing, going through immigration, getting their baggage and more. The sweet ad proved to be a balm of sorts for a Brexit-ravaged nation.

Of course, you can’t leave success like that alone. And so, Havas and Heathrow went back to the well for a sequel. And it expands on the story Doris and Edward Bair by telling their entire 50-year love story going back to the 1960s.
