Microsoft's New Surface Go Spot Puts the iPad Under the Hoof of a Holiday Classic

A new rendition of a catchy oldie

The iPad just got run over by a Microsoft-branded metaphorical reindeer. Sort of.

Just in time for the holiday shopping season, the anti-Silicon Valley company has chosen one of the most obnoxious Christmas songs to showcase its promising new tablet. Set to the tune of “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer,” Microsoft calls out the iPad by name while contrasting it with the Microsoft Surface Go.

The 30-second spot, which was created by McCann and stars a young girl who dreams of being an an astronaut, coder or marine biologist, showcases the Go as a go-to device for students.
