Corona Beer Ad

December 23, 2005 3:01 PM

I'm looking for an image from the Corona beer commercial...

of the house with the one palm tree with Christmas lights. Either a downloadable image or a place to buy a photo/postcard of it- preferably without the Corona logo. I live by the beach and think it would make a good Holiday card for friends and family.

If you don't find anything else, this image may serve you well: A Palm Tree with Christmas Lights.

I would've thought that image would be everywhere, but I'm not coming up with anything. You can watch a grainy, fuzzy version of the ad at the Corona website, though (Promotions Shack).

Oddly enough, people actually do string lights on real palm trees here in Honolulu. In fact, the potted palm in our office has lights on it now. I'd offer to take a photo for you, I'm not sure if I could find one as picturesque as the lagoon in the Corona ad.

The nicest image I found online is, unfortunately, from a stock photo agency (so you have to pay for unwatermarked use). In flickr, I found this one, which the poster might let you use.

I'm pretty sure I remember the ad you're talking about, and it featured the words feliz navidad. This might be it in commercial form, but you'd have to pay.

My advice: Go to your local bookstore and look through all the big glossy general interest magazines (People, Vogue, etc) and eventually you should find the ad. Then just scan it.
