Publix Christmas Commercial – The Pup Who’s Part of the Family, Too

Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, it’s a lot more socially acceptable to put up your Christmas decorations. I’m looking at you, neighbor who has the hanging Christmas balls up before Halloween. Get a grip, huh! Wow, sorry about that. I’m not a Scrooge, I’m not!! Plus, I want to make sure I’m on Santa’s nice list. Speaking of which, there are at least three groups of people excited every year when Christmas rolls around.

  1. The people on Santa’s nice list
  2. Students who have a long break from school
  3. People who love Publix holiday commercials

Publix is known for their heartwarming holiday commercials whether it’s Valentine’s Day, Thanksgiving, or Christmas. And their pub subs. And their sweet tea. They’re known for those, too. But for commercials, 99 times out of 100 they knock it out of the park. That’s why this comment has been fact-checked true.


Here’s the Publix Christmas commercial we’ve all been waiting for this season.


Little Ruckus keeps getting the short end of the stick and the sassy cat just rubs it in his face! Of course, with a name like Ruckus, there might be a good reason he’s outside while the rest of the family prepares for the big meal. If any of you out there have a beagle like mine, nabbing food is always just a sniff away can I get an amen? One second everything’s fine. Turn your head to sneeze and boom, she’s on the outdoor counter. Or your book is shredded. Or her head is stuck in the treat jar.


But even with their mischief, pups are always family and we wouldn’t be the same without them keeping us on our toes.

How do you feel about this Christmas commercial from Publix? Where does it stack up against other holiday ads like the following:

Chevrolet’s Gay Holiday Commercial

Amazon’s Sledding Grandmothers

Toyota Tacoma Past and Present Commercial

Hobby Lobby’s Hot Mom Christmas Ad

Mercedes Black and White Christmas


Merry Christmas.
