The most wonderful time of year at ETSU just got a little more chaotic because Bucky is back, and he’s got one mission: stay on Santa’s Nice List.

ETSU’s annual holiday video launched today on the university’s YouTube channel, continuing a beloved tradition that brings the campus together each December. This year’s installment follows everyone’s favorite Buccaneer mascot as his well-meaning holiday spirit leads to some questionable decisions across campus.

From festive decorating attempts gone awry to displays of school spirit that may or may not meet Santa’s approval, Bucky’s holiday antics unfold while a watchful elf keeps tabs from unexpected corners of campus. As the clock ticks down to Christmas, the pressure mounts. Will Bucky’s good deeds outweigh his missteps?

The video was produced by ETSU’s Office of University Marketing and Communications.  The team brought holiday magic to life, filming across familiar campus locations and featuring plenty of student faces along the way.
