Romantic comedies have become synonymous with Hallmark and now Walmart is tapping into this relatable happy format while including a shoppable item option amidst the storyline

The key elements of the buy from the script are not new. Some of the early black and white tv shows had a pitch after the story ended for purchasable products from the story.

What we know:

  • 23-part commercial series
  • "Add to Heart,” a pun on the add-to-cart feature. 
  • Visible on TikTok, Roku, YouTube and Walmart’s owned social channels 
  • This is TikTok’s first fully shoppable holiday series.
  • An assortment of 330 products will be showcased
  • Storyline
    •  Jessica, a New York designer returns to her hometown. A series of mishaps precedes her encounter with an old flame named Javi.

Because the format is heavily dependent on you investing your time and emotions; the story becomes an opportunity to buy product you can now associate or imagine yourself in a similar situation and with great success.
