Microsoft has released its holiday commercial for 2020 that is about "a dog's dream." 

The commercial focuses on what dogs dream about after watching their owners play hours of video games. The dogs in the commercial dream about piloting planes in Microsoft Flight Simulator, running around the world of Minecraft, and playing fetch with Halo protagonist Master Chief. 

View the commercial below:

"The holidays are a lot different this year, but that doesn't mean we can't experience joy and connection," reads the video description. 

"Our ad tells the story of Rufus, a dog who can't physically be with his best bud but through his dreams, experiences the joy of togetherness and friendship.

"Together, they go on an epic adventure into the ​worlds of Minecraft, Halo, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft Flight Simulator, just like Rufus' humans. ​"

A little cheesy but seeing Chief is always welcome.

Cheesy sells though. It's why Budweiser always puts dogs and horses in their Super Bowl commercials.
