Christmas Week is usually filled with excitement for NBA fans. Usually, the league saves its most anticipated matchups for the holidays.
NBA fans can expect the same for the 2024-25 season. However, another reason to be excited for the week is usually the creative commercials by the league.

Over the years, the NBA has released a plethora of memorable commercials, but 2013's Jingle Hoops advertisement is usually touted as the league's best-ever work.
Keeping that in mind, the league decided to bring back the iconic commercial, with a slight twist for this year. The Christmas tune remains the same, but instead of real players, a toy-like version of the players is featured in the ad.
The video begins with Boston Celtics' Jayson Tatum and Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant chatting. As the clip cuts to a wider frame, Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic, and LeBron James can be seen attempting long-range shots.
But that's when there's a twist as Victor Wembanyama, Anthony Edwards, and Jalen Brunson take charge ending in a dominant dunk from JT. ABC's Mike Breen and ESPN's Malika Andrews also make brief cameos.
Apart from that Nikola Jokic, who was riding a sleigh, and Tyrese Maxey made the cut as well. All things considered, it was an excellent commercial that tried to recapture the magic of the league from a decade or so ago.
