Lexus supplies most of the selections, reflecting the documented depth of its “December to Remember” campaigns; Toyota and Honda offer recognizable seasonal alternatives.
Why Lexus dominates Christmas car advertising
Lexus says its “December to Remember” campaign began in 1999, building a recognizable holiday style around a jingle, oversized red bows, and stories of gift-giving. The company marked the campaign’s 25th year in 2024 with two new spots. That history helps explain why so many of the best-known examples here come from Lexus, but this is a curated selection—not an exhaustive history or a measured ranking.
The choices below favor different kinds of holiday storytelling: family milestones, imaginative plans, unexpected reunions, helping others, and comic attempts to conceal a gift.
10 Christmas car commercials worth revisiting
1. “Over the Years” — Lexus (2025)
A sequence of Christmas mornings follows a daughter from childhood into motherhood, using Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” to mark the passage of time. Lexus describes the story as one about family, change, and lasting memories. Its multigenerational focus makes this a reflective choice rather than a conventional surprise-car reveal.

3. “Forecast” — Lexus (2024)
A meteorologist expects a quiet white Christmas alone, until family members arrive and bring the celebration to him. The story’s appeal is its reversal: instead of one person making a holiday journey, the family makes the effort to close the distance. Lexus campaign announcement

Toyota: Toyotathon and family storytelling
Toyota’s official 2017 Toyotathon announcement described a 100-second holiday commercial built around a multigenerational family. Its 2024 holiday campaign included “Real Reward,” about a couple who find a lost dog while shopping for a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. These examples offer a different route into seasonal storytelling than Lexus’s recurring red-bow motif. Toyota campaign announcement
Honda: Happy Honda Days
“Happy Honda Days” is another familiar seasonal campaign name. Honda newsroom announcements describe a 2012 campaign built around humorous thank-you letters from shoppers and loved ones, and a 2018 campaign using nostalgic classic toys including Voltron, Care Bears, The Six Million Dollar Man, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Those descriptions establish the campaign’s humor and nostalgia, but not enough detail to treat either as a specific spot recommendation here.
