[2026] Christmas commercial song. Recommended commercial songs (41–50)
Stay ColdDEEP
Let me introduce the moody R&B track “Stay Cold,” perfect for elevating your Christmas spirit.
It was the theme song for Seicomart’s 2014 Christmas commercial—the convenience store chain primarily based in Hokkaido.
The song is performed by DEEP, a group produced by EXILE ATSUSHI.
The layered high-tone vocals are incredibly pleasing, and the final chorus is especially breathtaking.
Even if you haven’t seen the commercial, give it a listen first.
A Snowy ChristmasDREAMS COME TRUE
A special Christmas edition commercial for Subaru’s Impreza, sold by the automaker SUBARU.
The song featured in the commercial is Dreams Come True’s “Yuki no Christmas,” released in 1990.
In 1994, a version with fully English lyrics was released under the title “WINTER SONG.” The commercial aired in 2016, 26 years after the song’s original release, adorning family-filled scenes with beautiful snow blossoms.
It sings of a gentle yet bittersweet wish: to see beautiful Christmas scenery with the person you love and treasure.
A Dreamy ChristmasEXILE
The warm melody of love resounding on Christmas night.
This EXILE song is a masterpiece that beautifully fuses the wintry atmosphere with the feeling of romance.
Released in December 2009 as part of the album “Aisubeki Mirai e,” it was also used in a Lalaport commercial.
TAKAHIRO’s clear, crystalline vocals seem to gently wrap the snow-covered cityscape.
The yearning to spend Christmas with the one you love, and the hope for a future woven by two people, are sung along its melodic lines.
This is a romantic track you’ll want to listen to with someone special—perfect as background music for making memories with your partner or choosing the perfect gift.
Fragments of Time ~Tokino Kakera~EXILE
EXILE’s single “Toki no Kakera” (Fragments of Time), released in 2007, was used as the CM song for Samantha Thavasa’s “Samantha Tiara Jewelry.” It’s a ballad that colored the early days of EXILE’s Second Chapter, overflowing with the group’s signature style of the time—lyrics that gently seep in and a refreshing clarity.
The flowing melody line is also very pleasant.
The charm of this era feels truly one of a kind.
The song’s embracing atmosphere seems perfect not only for Christmas, but also for a proposal scene.
Winter,againGLAY
It’s a gem of a winter ballad said to have been written by TAKURO, the band’s guitarist, for his girlfriend at the time, imbued with his wish to someday show her the scenery of his hometown, Hokkaido.
Chosen as the 1998 JR SKI SKI commercial song, it has long been beloved by many listeners as a staple winter tune.
The lyrics plainly and directly express feelings for a cherished person, and surely many fans have been deeply moved by this song.
As with all JR SKI SKI commercial songs, this one is also a timeless classic that’s loved across generations!
I promiseKing&Prince
The 7-Eleven Christmas commercial that aired in 2020 featured a romantic atmosphere created by the song “I promise.” It’s a track by the idol group King & Prince, and it’s crafted as a love song portraying two people meeting up.
It can be interpreted as a romantic song, but it could also be seen as depicting parental love or the bonds between friends.
In any case, listening to it is likely to remind you of how wonderful it is to have someone special in your life.
Winter Love StoryKing&Prince
King & Prince, a nationally beloved idol group.
In 2019, they created “Winter Love Story” as the theme song for a Christmas commercial aired by 7-Eleven.
It’s a track with a Christmas-like melody that sings about a man and woman deepening their love in winter.
A highlight is how the sound links with the lyrics—there’s a key change midway and the tempo slows down.
You’re likely to discover something new each time you listen.
