2. “Assemble Together” by Ikea

Ikea commercials are consistently spot-on, and the holiday specials are no exception. This masterpiece begins with a visit to a typical South-Asian-Canadian household. It appears as though a family of many generations is "Assembling Together," as Ikea meant. The twist is that it is not accompanied by a standard Christmas soundtrack. Rather than that, you'll find the world-famous Bollywood song "Chaiyya Chaiyya." Ikea wanted to convey the message that all families build and cherish their own traditions.
