Toyota Commercial, Filmed In Westmont, Debuts For Holiday Season
The Toyotathon 2022 commercial was partially filmed in Westmont and features Nature's Best Market grocery store.
WESTMONT, IL — A touching Toyota holiday commercial that recently debuted begins in a familiar setting for locals: the Nature's Best Market grocery store in Westmont. The one-minute ad, which was partially filmed in Westmont, was posted to the Toyota USA YouTube page on Dec. 1.
In addition to the grocery store, local viewers may also recognize a brief shot of West Quincy Street.
The commercial, titled "Like No One's Watching," was filmed in September, which required crews to create a snowy holiday setting. The village's public works department helped add lights, wreaths and other accents to suggest a winter scene.
