Hallmark ends the ad with a hope for all families to be together on Christmas.

Apple's 'The Surprise' (2019)

Disney signs off with "from our family to yours."

Coca Cola's '70s Christmas Hilltop commercial

Hallmark's 'Waiting for Christmas' (1982)

This 1982 ad opens with a young woman telling the story of her Christmas tradition with her dad. The camera follows him carrying out that tradition without her by his side.

The father reads his daughter's words to comfort him while they are apart.

"When you care enough to send the very best," the ad says at the end.

Campbell's snowman commercial (1993)

This 1993 Campbell's ad may not make you cry, but it will definitely warm your heart. A young boy, cold from playing outside and appearing as a snowman, comes indoors to thaw out with a warm bowl of Campbell's soup. The snow melts off of him with each sip he takes, turning him human again.

"Never underestimate the power of soup," the ad says as it ends.

The famous Hershey's Kisses Christmas commercial (1989)
