Because branded merch never takes time off!
Imagine it now. You’re getting ready for the ultimate Christmas film marathon. You’ve got your favourite snacks to hand. The scented festive candles are lit. The Christmas tree lights are twinkling.
But, wait, what’s that? Is that… a branded cap? In a Christmas film? Is that a promotional product? In your childhood holiday favourite movie?
Yep. Your eyes aren’t deceiving you. No, you haven’t had too much eggnog.
Product placement, including promotional merchandise, is a popular marketing tactic brands use, especially during the holiday season. It’s a great opportunity for them to covertly advertise to us during the time of year when we’re constantly thinking about what to buy for our loved ones.
In this list, we focus solely on branded merchandise (so no product placements) that you may have missed in your favourite Christmas films.
