27 Nov
Summary
- Apple's new holiday ad features handmade animal puppets singing a song.
- The commercial showcases the iPhone 17 Pro's camera features like 8x Zoom.
- The ad aims for a tactile, handcrafted feel, contrasting with tech's digital nature.

Apple has unveiled its heartwarming holiday advertisement, "A Critter Carol," a visually rich narrative centered around friendship and captured entirely on the new iPhone 17 Pro. The campaign features a delightful ensemble of nine handmade animal puppets, bringing a touch of tactile craftsmanship to the digital age.
Directed by Mark Molloy, the commercial follows a group of forest creatures who discover a lost iPhone 17 Pro. They use the device to record themselves singing a song about friendship, emphasizing themes of connection and creativity. This approach intentionally contrasts with the purely digital, drawing attention to the value of human artistry.
The "Critter Carol" ad is designed to showcase the iPhone 17 Pro's advanced camera features, such as 8x Zoom and Dual Capture, allowing for immersive storytelling. This campaign aims to evoke warmth and connection, following a previous ad misstep with its "Crush!" iPad commercial.
