In this enchanting stop motion ode to the festive season, Hornet Director Andrea Love and co-director Phoebe Wall bring to life the wooly wonderland of Ingrid Michaelson's holiday duet with Zooey Deschanel. A cozy journey unfolds as two woodland creatures search for the perfect Christmas tree, weaving a charming tale of needle-felted fireplaces, snug sweaters, and the timeless magic of stop motion storytelling.
Ingrid Michaelson's 2021 release of a deluxe edition of her album "Songs For The Season" featured a heartwarming duet with Zooey Deschanel titled "Merry Christmas, Happy New Year." To complement the song's warm lyrics, the duo enlisted the creative prowess of Andrea Love and Phoebe Wall, crafting a fuzzy, three-month-long stop motion masterpiece in Andrea's home studio. So, don those tacky Christmas sweaters and join the celebration in whimsical, wooly style with Ingrid Michaelson, Zooey Deschanel, Phoebe Wall, and Andrea Love.

“My goal was to make it the cutest, coziest, warmest video ever. It’s supposed to be a little over the top, but almost in a ‘I can’t stop watching this and I need more’ kind of way.”
