The gag-filled 30-second spot depicting indoor and outdoor fun, starring the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra with a supporting cast of snowballs, was filmed, ironically enough, at the Riverside Theater on the very stage where the Marx Bros. once performed their 1920s vaudeville show ― "I’ll Say She Is!"
