Mrs. Claus tends to take the backseat during the holidays, hanging back at the North Pole to bake cookies and tidy up while her jolly husband dashes from country to country, sliding down chimneys and delivering gifts. One British retailer, Marks and Spencer, woke up and smelled the coffee to realize that it's about time we give frumpy ol' Mrs. Claus a much-needed modern spin. The company's latest holiday advertisement features Mrs. Claus in the spotlight as the savior of one family's Christmas. She dons a red power suit, rocks a Hillary Clinton-esque hairstyle, and drives a helicopter — no male pilot needed. Watch the applause-worthy commercial above for an example of kickass feminism at its finest.
