Watch the Fun Apple Holiday 2025 Commercial: A Critter Carol
Apple has launched their official 2025 holiday advertisement for the season. This years commercial comes in at 2 minutes and features two friends taking a snowy hike, one of whom drops their iPhone into the snow, which is soon picked up by a forest creature, who proceeds to gather even more forest creatures to use the iPhone and stage a sing-and-dance. It’s goofy and fun, and all of the various animals are puppets, giving it sort of a Jim Henson vibe.
The holiday ad is called “A Critter Carol”, with a tagline “This holiday, remember that friendship is a gift”, and the entire commercial was shot on an iPhone 17 Pro (which is also the same iPhone that drops into the snow).
The full 2 minute 2025 Apple holiday commercial has been embedded below, it’s a good time and enjoyable watch:
The YouTube description says “In this handcrafted film, a ragtag group of woodland critters discover a lost iPhone 17 Pro and use it to film themselves singing a song of friendship as a gift, before returning it to its rightful owner.”
Since the video is so long, perhaps a shortened version will be an airing on TV, but you might catch the commercial playing on streaming services and online.
If you enjoyed the holiday ad, you can see an interesting “Behind the Scenes” video from Apple to learn how the commercial was made:
Happy holidays and Merry Christmas!
