T-Mobile Home For The Holidays Surprise (Commercial) - Woodfield Mall, Schaumburg, IL

- Опубликовано: 8 дек 2021
- T-Mobile selected Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, IL ("Just outside Chicago") as the location for their 2011 commercial shoot. This mall was, for many years, the largest shopping mall in America. Woodfield Mall opened in 1971, and was the creation of Sears chairman Robert Wood and Marshall Field of Marshall Field & Company (hence the name Woodfield). The Woodfield Sears store, the last remaining Sears store in IL, closed its doors permanently on November 14, 2021. This video was removed by T-Mobile, but I feel it is an important part of the mall's history and should be kept online for future generations to enjoy.

Still watching this in 2023
Thanks for dropping in and having a watch. I still enjoy this video and it isn't quite the holidays until I watch it.
I dig this up every year and play it a few times a day. It's great seeing people in a mall, smiling, give 2020/2021l
Yeah, it is something else. This is the mall I grew up near in Schaumburg, IL, so there are plenty of memories here throughout my childhood and beyond. Thanks for your comment :).
Same! Such a great rendition. I wish it was on Spotify
@@bill875 Did you go to Edwin Aldrin School in Schaumburg when you were a kid?
My family knows that my holiday season doesn't start until I listen to this video. Still gives me goosebumps!
I was a security guard for the mall there during filming.. I remember those days quite well. Yes days there were multiple days of filming. Everyone had so much fun.. including myself
It's New Year's 2023 and I still watch this several times during the year. I hope we all have a great year! 🎉
I still think of this commercial to this day! Amazing! Beautiful! One of a kind
I lived down the street from Woodfield when this was filmed. Remember it like it was yesterday. So glad to finally have something better than a 240p version of this back. :-)
I grew up over by Roselle Rd. and Weathersfield Way in Schaumburg. I just love seeing the mall back when it was really hopping! Not that it isn't a happening mall still today, it has lost some anchor stores though since this was filmed. Thanks for appreciating the higher-res video. I'm glad I snagged a copy of it back when it was originally posted by T-Mobile. I'm really disappointed they took it off of their channel, but not the behind the scenes videos, which is odd. Perhaps it came down to a licensing issue, I'm not sure.
@@bill875 the anniversary of this commercial inspired me to visit the mall last week and vlog, which will eventually be up on the channel. After spending a couple years in an apartment in Rolling Meadows as a newlywed, after having the first kid we rented a small ranch house for 3 years off Roselle Rd. in the older part of Hoffman Estates. While the stay was short, I really enjoyed my time there and the neighborhood. And still drive by the house once and awhile. :-)
did they do it all in one take?
@@kayvonmansouri from what I recall from folks behind the scenes cell phone videos there were several run through before they settled on this one. So while it was meant to resemble a flash mob dance, it was far from it. But that was to be expected. Look into people's grainy 2011 cell phone videos it is nostalgia feels overload.
@@memoriesbywayne i wish they wouldn't have taken it down. It's become somewhat of a family tradition at our house to watch it around Christmas. They should bring it out every year.
Just as good as it was 12 years ago. My favorite Christmas song!
I watch this several times during the year and it always gets me teary-eyed. I love it! 🎅🏽🤶🏽🎄
viewing this is a 12 year tradition now
always a great mood booster
Love to watch this every year!
April 2024.
Love this flash mob.
My yearly holiday visit to this song. Very much appreciate the high quality version you share. If it ever gets removed, I hope you can get it back somehow. I really love it.
Great quality. I just discovered this song version at the beginning of the Christmas season. I had been watching the lower quality version. Thanks so much for this one !
It’s interesting T-Mobile removed. So well done and a beautiful song!
Happy 11th anniversary and happy holidays to all those that seem to find time to watch this every year! :-)
Wow. 11 years have gone by and I didn't realize this existed. Someone on FB mentioned it. My son and his now wife used to work there, but didn't see them in the crowds. The video does bring a smile. Thank you for posting
I watched this when it was released on RUclips as a Christmas ad. I feel so old! Time goes by quick.
Thank you... best quality out there 💙
You're quite welcome! Glad I could archive and share it for everyone to enjoy. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you!
For years I was oppressed and found it hard to get in the spirit but this pulled thru. Now things are better and i still can't watch it just once. I'm addicted... sometimes at Christmas in July too.
I'm glad you enjoy the video. It's a shame that T-Mobile seems to want to take down any instances of this video. If it happens, I will post it elsewhere. Probably Vimeo. I have an upscaled 4K version and it looks fantastic.
Thank you for is wonderful Christmas song.
That’s my favorite mall. I’d go there every Saturday.
Still waiting for them to release this version on Apple Music 😭
I miss the T-Mobile adverts :)
Was this song written especially for this? I've never heard it performed anywhere else.
There was an awesome "making of" video that accompanied this when it first came out. Does anyone know where to find that?
I have a copy of that. I am going to try to upload it to RUclips. They may block it though like they did the 4K upscaled of this video.
The blonde lead signer is Zoe Mirkovich and the T-Mobile spoke person in the middle, at the end, is Carly Foulkes. But I really wish I knew who the black signer is. Her voice is fantastic. But I can't find a trace of her. I hope she is still singing.
Rly? Black woman really messing up the flow of the song for me. Amazing otherwise
👍
And I miss Carly!
These commercials were so wholesome and beautiful before everything became woke and stupid.
I love Schaumburg, but Woodfield is over rated tbh
