The well-known holiday commercial featuring Hershey's Kisses as bells playing the holiday classic "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" has aired annually since 1989.
This year, though, the company decided to try something new. Unfortunately, it did not go over well with some viewers.
The new ad starts the same way as its predecessor, but is interrupted when a child picks up one of the Kisses, unwraps it, and uses it to bake holiday "peanut butter blossom cookies" topped with Hershey's Kisses.
In response to the backlash, Hershey's has announced that it will now air both advertisements this holiday season.
"Hey! Hi! We want to let you know that we will be airing both the original and our new Kisses holiday ad!" the company's account said in a message to a Twitter user on Tuesday.
View some of the feedback from Twitter users who just couldn't stand another change to normalcy in 2020 below.
