Christmas commercials that make you cry

whimsy515 · December 2013

'Tis the season for emotional, tug at your heart strings commercials! Thanks to hormones, I feel like they are doing all they can just to make me bawl my eyes out.

The ONE that I absolutely can't watch is the ASPCA Silent Night commercial. Oh.My.God. I just can't! I have a chihuahua that we rescued and we spoil her. I also donate to the rescue group we got her from. I think that entitles me to not have to watch that commercial. When I see it, I feel so bad. I get what they are doing, but oh please stop! I sob like a baby.

Another one that gets me is the Publix (grocery store for those who don't know) commercial. They are known for their tear jerker commercials. This one this year is a young girl baking cookies, and you think she's baking them for Santa, but then she yells "He's here!" and runs to the door with the cookies to greet her grandfather, and tells him how much she loves him. Again, I cry every time.

What commercials are getting to you this year?

The coffee commercial (I can't remember if it is Folgers or Maxwell House) where the grandma is holding the baby and talking to him about his first Christmas and how excited she is to be there. Then the dad comes down and thanks her for making the coffee. Yeah, no clue why it gets me, but the onion ninjas come into my house during that one.

No, that's a good one that gets me. My Mom actually called me bawling her eyes out talking about that commercial.

Not necessarily Christmas, but preg hormones got the best of me with this one.

Umm. All of them. I cry over everything! I mean, Doc McStuffins? Really? My husband threatened to set up parental controls if I turn on the hallmark channel.

Not only the commercial, but the news clips too of the service people surprising their loved ones with a homecoming. Happy tears, but tears every time!!!

That coca cola commercial is really sweet. I love it!

All of them make me cry, even not pregnant. What about the one where the snowmen feed their noses to the horses? I dont' even know what it's a commercial for, lol

There's an Apple commercial where a teenager looks disinterested and is on his phone the first part of the commercial, then at the end, he plays a family video he was making the whole time. Didn't get me, but DH got a little emotional. I think it's just b/c he's an Apple freak.

This one isn't Christmas, but I think it's a Subaru commercial where a young couple goes to a cabin together, gets a puppy, has a baby, and then the dog is old at the end and running around with the kids. OMG, tears every single time. Animals really get me, pregnant or not.

I CRY AT ALL COMMERCIALS.

My husband is constantly in eye-roll mode now as I choke back tears at anything from televised golf to a commercial.

Every time I hear the "Never Grow Up" in the Walmart commercial, I tear up. I just looked up the song and found it on youtube and now I'm going to start crying again. I had no idea Taylor Swift sang it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYeO6LwgEes

DuDe!!! Seriously! The first time I saw that was about 3 days after my son was born. Talk about a SOB fest. It still gets me every time. Okay, so just thinking about it gets me.

This reminds me of another one. I haven't seen it played this year but it's the pampers commercial where Silent Night is playing and all you see are sleeping babies. Some of them are suckling in their sleep, so freaking cute and it would get me every time!

The one where the daughter is moving out of her parents home. Dad is helping and he finds that she saved every single one of the little origami birds that he made for her throughout her life. I can't handle it. Too many feels.

Edited: I'm a grammar Nazi.

JUST watched the apple commercial and was still teary when I saw this post. Also ditto ANY ASPCA commercial even when I'm not pregnant. I'm an animal sucker. Most commercials get me teary these days.

This one and the "never grow up" commercial have me bawling!

The other one that sucker punched me was the Meijer commercial with the family decorating outside a home and then all of a sudden they go to the house next door and an old lady pulls up to the decorated home with a look of joy and surprise... I absolutely lost it!

And the sporting goods commercial with the little brother emulating the baseball playing big brother who eventually gives him his own personal glove for Christmas.

This one made my husband cry!

I like the one where the girl is going to school on her first day, and there is a line about holding her hand and the girl says "I held it right back". SOB!!

The publix one with the cookies made me bawl like a little baby!
It made me so excited for my dad to meet his first Grandbaby.

I am not a cryer - but I got a little teary eyed at the Kohl's commercial where the young couple snuck into their elderly neighbor's apartment and decorated it for her for Christmas. So sweet.

I saw that apple commercial for the first time yesterday, bawled. I mean a river was running down my face. When his dad hugged him at the end forget it I completely lost it! I needed to get a tissue. I usually don't cry at much, stupid hormones haha.
