There is a particular moment every year when Christmas starts becoming less of a distant date on the calendar and more of a production problem.
As the holidays get closer, brands and agencies begin thinking about what this year’s Christmas and New Year campaigns should look like, what products need to be pushed, which stories are worth telling and, perhaps most importantly, how much content will actually be needed to make all of it work.
One campaign rarely means one film anymore.
A hero commercial quickly becomes a collection of social cutdowns, digital advertising, product visuals, and countless adaptations for different platforms and markets.
Production partners that were available last year may already be booked with other Christmas campaigns. Suddenly, a brand or agency needs additional creative and production capacity — sometimes for an entire campaign, sometimes simply for one specific piece of the puzzle.
That is exactly the kind of space Lynx and Bear was built to operate in.

Brand Commercials for Christmas and New Year: the Holiday Campaign
Lynx and Bear is a creative production studio working across 3D, visual effects, design, illustration, AI production and video.
Rather than being tied to one particular discipline, we can move between them depending on what a project actually needs. Sometimes that means joining an existing agency team to handle a specific 3D or VFX requirement. Sometimes it means developing a visual concept and producing the campaign from the ground up.
This flexibility becomes particularly useful around Christmas, when campaigns tend to demand a surprisingly broad range of creative skills.
A product might need to become part of a completely new world. A simple pack shot might need to turn into a cinematic commercial. A campaign might require dozens of graphic adaptations alongside a hero film. Or a brand might have a strong idea but simply not have enough production capacity to execute everything before the holidays arrive.
We can step into any of those situations.

1. A Creative Production Partner
for the Holiday Season
Christmas is always naturally cinematic.
Snow, lights, decorations, reflections, presents, winter landscapes and warm interiors give brands an enormous amount of visual material to work with. But the challenge is not simply adding snow to a product shot and calling it a Christmas campaign.
The more interesting question is how the product can actually belong to that world.
With 3D and VFX, we can build environments around a product that would be difficult, expensive or impossible to create physically. A bottle can sit in the middle of a frozen landscape. A piece of packaging can become part of a miniature Christmas village. A food product can transform an ordinary kitchen into a warm festive environment.
We can create the environments, assets, lighting and animation required to make those ideas tangible — from realistic product cinematography to highly stylized Christmas graphics.
Snow simulations, ice, particles, atmospheric effects, decorations, animated characters and environments can all become part of the same visual system.

2. Making Products Feel Like Christmas
Christmas and New Year campaigns often require more than a single commercial. Brands and creative agencies need a production partner who can turn one creative idea into a complete system of Christmas campaign visuals, commercials, social content, digital advertising and branded assets.
Lynx & Bear works across 3D/VFX, 2D & Design, Photography, AI Production and Video Production, helping brands and creative agencies produce Christmas and New Year campaigns from the first visual direction to the final deliverables.

3. Our Production Services
If you are looking for a reliable CGI production studio for Christmas ads, 3D and VFX are often the ultimate problem-solvers. A single 3D product asset can be utilized to create a cinematic Christmas commercial, CGI product animation, or a high-res digital billboard without rebuilding the entire set every time. We deliver high-end CGI, festive environments, and complex visual effects, giving brands complete control over the final look.
We create high-end CGI, 3D product renders, Christmas environments, characters, animation and VFX, giving brands complete control over products, materials, lighting and the world surrounding them.
As a Christmas and New Year VFX and CGI production partner, we can build one visual system that works across multiple campaign formats and deliverables.

3.1. 3D/VFX
Not every Christmas campaign needs a film. A great message can also be sent through a single image.
We can produce Christmas key visuals, New Year campaign graphics, social media posts, banners, digital screens, animated typography and 2D/3D campaign assets designed around the same creative direction.
A campaign can begin with a Christmas key visual and develop into a complete set of static and motion graphics for social media, digital advertising, websites, presentations, print and large-format outdoor advertising.
This is particularly useful for creative agencies that already have the concept but need an experienced Christmas production partner to turn it into the volume of content required by a modern brand campaign.

3.2. 2D & Design
Sometimes the right answer is a camera, a set and great art direction.
Our product photography and creative photography capabilities can be used to produce Christmas and New Year campaign imagery, from hero product shots to social media content and advertising visuals.
Photography can also be combined with CGI, 3D and VFX to create Christmas campaign visuals that would be difficult or impossible to produce entirely in-camera.

3.3. Photography
Generative AI has completely changed the speed and scale of what is possible in holiday advertising. For agencies looking to hire an AI production studio for New Year commercials, Lynx & Bear offers a streamlined approach. We use AI to rapidly explore visual directions, generate festive environments, or produce entire pieces of moving image content. This technology allows us to develop concepts before full production begins, saving significant time during the busy holiday rush.
An AI-generated Christmas environment can be combined with 3D product animation. A generated character can become part of a larger VFX pipeline. AI imagery can be developed into Christmas campaign concepts and key visuals before full production begins, or used to create content that would otherwise require considerably more time and resources.
For some projects, AI can be the core of the production. For others, it is simply another tool alongside 3D, VFX, compositing, animation and live action.
The technology changes quickly, the creative requirement does not: the final Christmas campaign still needs to look like it belongs to the brand.

3.4. AI Production
Sometimes, of course, the idea deserves a proper Christmas commercial or New Year brand film.
Lynx & Bear can work across the wider video production process — helping develop the visual direction, translate the idea into a workable production approach and bring together the disciplines required to finish the piece.
Depending on the project, that can mean live action combined with CGI and VFX, a fully animated Christmas film, AI-driven production, or a hybrid production using several approaches together.
We also produce original music and sound design designed specifically around the visual language, pacing and emotional direction of a Christmas commercial — from cinematic Christmas scores to something playful, energetic or completely contemporary.
The important part is that the technology follows the idea rather than the other way around. Sometimes the right answer is a camera, a set and great art direction. And sometimes the right answer is a completely impossible Christmas world that exists only inside a computer.

3.5. Video Production
The holiday season has a habit of exposing production bottlenecks. With more deliverables and less time to make them, in-house teams often get overwhelmed. When agencies and brands need to outsource VFX for holiday campaigns to meet tight deadlines, finding a reliable partner becomes crucial. Lynx & Bear steps in exactly when you need extra hands, without the friction of onboarding a completely new team.
This is where an external creative production studio can become useful.
Lynx & Bear can work as an extension of an existing agency or brand team, taking responsibility for a particular discipline or joining the project more broadly as a production partner.
You might need us to build a 3D product animation, create a set of Christmas visuals, produce CGI and VFX for a live-action commercial, develop an AI-generated film, create product renders or produce a complete campaign from concept through to final delivery.
All of those are valid ways for us to get involved.
