As the festive season draws near, holiday commercials are making their way onto our screens during sporting events. Each year, some big names take center stage in these commercials, and this year, one commercial truly stands out. It features none other than the famous Watt family.

Experience the Holiday Magic with the Watt Family

Dick’s J.J. Watt Commercial

Dick’s Sporting Goods got a head start on the holiday season by releasing a commercial starring the Watt family titled “A Watt Holiday Classic.” This 90-second ad is a delightful homage to various popular Christmas movies. It includes callbacks to:

Home Alone, where the Watt family goes to Dick’s for Christmas shopping but forgets J.J. Watt in the store, just like in the movie. Derek Watt is the one to inform his parents, paying tribute to this classic.

Love Actually’s infamous note card scene is parodied as the Watt family shares some heartwarming moments. And National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation’s noteworthy Christmas lights scene also makes an appearance, adding to the festive spirit.

Since retiring, J.J. Watt has been a familiar face in commercials, from Peloton to Gatorade. But this commercial for Dick’s Sporting Goods is undoubtedly his most memorable one and is sure to keep playing through the end of the holidays.

The NFL Family Phenomenon

Between the Watt family, the Kelce family, and the Manning family, NFL families have become highly coveted by companies seeking a unique angle in NFL sponsorships. This is just one example of how NFL families are making their mark during the holiday season. It’s likely that we’ll see more commercials featuring these families in the coming weeks.

The Watt family’s commercial not only showcases their holiday spirit but also highlights the power of family and the joy of the season. It’s a commercial that is sure to bring a smile to everyone’s face.
