From playful twists on holiday traditions to laugh-out-loud moments that feel instantly relatable, holiday commercials know exactly how to strike that balance.​

So, here we are with 5 hilarious Holiday 2025 commercials that swap sentiment for silliness, turning festive clichés into comic gold and transforming jingle bells into giggle bells along the way.

​

1. BMW: Arrive in Style

Preparations for a Christmas feast can be chaotic and messy, leaving the hosts absolutely red-faced. But if your guests have a BMW, you have nothing to worry about.

​

This 30-second BMW spot shows a couple arriving at their hosts’ place for what appears to be a Christmas party. Unfortunately, a series of funny accidents results in the chicken being burned beyond consumption. Thankfully, they decide to take their BMW for a spin and give their hosts a minute to gather themselves.

​

Honestly, with the chicken gone, I don’t think they are going to be having a party any time soon!

2. Apple: A Critter Carol

Apple never misses a chance to showcase the power of its camera, and its iPhone 17 Pro beautifully brings to life the joy of unexpected friendship in this Holiday 2025 commercial.

​

The ad shows a hiker dropping his iPhone 17 Pro in a snowy forest, which is discovered by a group of handmade puppet critters– a raccoon, bear, rat, owl, deer, squirrel, and others. The group films itself in a joyful musical sequence, showcasing the advanced capabilities of the iPhone camera. When the hiker returns, he’s surprised to find his phone inside a heart-shaped ring made of twigs, with the critters hoping that their new friends like their performance.

​

While the adorable creatures may take the centre stage in the ad, the top-notch creativity and unmatched craft of Apple’s marketing team are hands down the biggest stars of the ad.

​

3. Toyota: The Holiday Job

Surprising your loved ones with Christmas presents is lovely, but keeping your plans a secret is the biggest challenge.

​

Toyota’s Holiday ad campaign revolves around the Herculean task of getting that perfect gift for your loved ones without them finding out about it. The ad sheds light on how keeping the surprise can sometimes feel like a covert operation straight out of a Hollywood movie, with people going into full-on stealth mode to make their ‘top-secret mission’ a success. And yet the element of surprise is often lost, drawing instant comparisons with sneaky Santa.

​

But hey, at least they love the gifts!

​

4. Samsung

Samsung’s state-of-the-art features take center stage in its Holiday 2025 campaign, and the picturization couldn’t have been more comic and dramatic.

​

The ad shows a couple transported into an imaginary world as they get ready to tick chores off their Holiday to-do list. And boy, every chore turns into a dark fantasy-movie-like challenge. Thankfully, they have Samsung to help them get through.

​

5. Mercedes-Benz: The Substitute

Automobile companies seem to be on a roll this Holiday season with their marketing hitting all the right notes.

​

This 35-second spot shows Mr Claus taking ill and therefore being unable to resume his annual gift delivery run. Thankfully, Mrs Claus is ever ready to fill in for him, and she does it with some sass and style! What’s more, the reindeer-driven sleigh is replaced by a shining fleet of Mercedes-Benz cars, adding to Mrs Claus’ aura.

​
