A T-Mobile holiday commercial was filmed at the Woodfield Mall on December 1. RSM Films used four cameras, 100 singers performing an upbeat version of Home for the Holidays and, of course, Carly Foulkes, the T-Mobile girl. Five Schaumburg High School Choir members, Lana Fenkanyn, Taryn Neubecker, Lauren Podkawa, Gabby Rivera and Bryce Saxon, were included in the cast.  The finished commercial played on national television in a 60-second version and in a 3:48 sequence on YouTube where it received over four million views.
