Christmas, along with the rest of the holiday season, is full of emotions. There's the joy of children thinking about Santa, the happiness of being together with family and friends, and the excitement of Christmas morning that doesn't diminish too much with age. But that's not all Christmas and the holidays bring. There's also, especially in recent Christmases amid the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, greater feelings of loss and loneliness. And that latter part of the emotional rollercoaster is exactly what Chevrolet dove into head-first with its "Holiday Ride" promotional video and shortened version that's been airing on TV.
Opening on a man at a mountain-surrounded home, we are introduced to a classic convertible that's collecting dust in a shed. This old car in disrepair, despite being little more than a place to sit, brings back memories of the man's late wife as he wipes cobwebs from the steering wheel and dust off the visor.

Good? Yes.
Makes up for the rest? No.
