In the commercial, McCarthy lets her daydreaming get the best of her and finds herself as the star in a musical number that brings her to a variety of travel destinations.
Laying in bed and scrolling through Booking.com, McCarthy is transported to a beachside cottage, singing, “I’m going to somewhere, anywhere — a beach house, a treehouse — honestly, I don’t care.”
She then enjoys a spa getaway and mountain escape before a chorus chimes in, ending the ad on a funny note: “Mama deserves a vacation.”
