The United States Postal Service plans to deliver a whopping 16 billion cards, letters and packages this holiday season. The company launched a Christmas campaign that highlights its ability to deliver online purchases fast and before the holiday.

A young girl falls in love with a hippopotamus on a trip to the zoo. As the tune "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" plays throughout, we watch the parents buy anything and everything they can that's hippo-themed, like a lunch box, stuffed animal and a robot. On Christmas morning, as the excited girl plays with her bounty of hippo toys, she spots a deer in the backyard, which means her hippo-loving phase has come to an end.

McCann NY created the campaign.
