"The Lonely Snowman" Holiday Spot From Dignity Health

While holiday gatherings and spending time with family can be stressful and lead to feelings of loneliness, science has proven human connection can actually make us healthier. In fact, lacking social connections with our friends and loved ones can disrupt sleep patterns, weaken immune systems, and increase stress hormone levels. This animated short reminds us that "the holidays are brighter when we're together."

"The holidays can be a difficult time for many people, and we wanted to share the message found in The Lonely Snowman as a simple reminder to consider those who might be feeling alone during this time of year," said Mark Viden, VP of Brand Marketing at Dignity Health. "We hope The Lonely Snowman will encourage people to extend warmth and kindness during the giving spirit of the holiday season."

It will run on broadcast and digital to reach Dignity Health's audience throughout the holiday season. The spot is an updated version of a previous digital spot for Dignity Health.
