In the ‘Paint the Holidays’ ad, Audi wishes people a [colorful Christmas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-lewis-2025) by showings its cars driving in slo-mo, just before they are about to be hit by buckets of paint dumped onto them. For the holidays, the colors of course are a symbolic red and green for Christmas and a blue and yellow for Hanukkah. The idea of paint being splashed on a car would terrify any car owner, but in this video, Audi turns it into a spectacle. The cars are shown being doused in paint but in the aftermath, the cars are as shiny and bright as Christmas ornaments on a tree. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Colorful Holiday Campaigns:** Companies can create unique advertising campaigns that incorporate bright, festive colors to capture consumers' attention during the holiday season. - **Interactive Holiday Ads:** Interactive holiday advertisements like 'Paint the Holidays' can create a memorable experience for consumers and increase brand awareness. - **Non-traditional Festive Symbols:** Brands can use non-traditional symbols and colors associated with holidays to differentiate themselves and stand out from competitors during the holiday season. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive:** Car companies can create holiday campaigns that incorporate unique features or special editions of their vehicles to attract consumers during the holiday season. - **Retail:** Retailers can create festive and colorful displays or product packaging during the holiday season to attract consumers and increase sales. - **Advertising:** Ad agencies can create unique and creative holiday campaigns for their clients that use non-traditional holiday symbols and colors to differentiate themselves from competitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Haute Auto Pattern Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-car-couture.md) - [Heartwarming Holiday Car Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nbcuniversals-primetime-specials.md) - [Customized Soccer Team Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-mls-cup.md) - [Rental App Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/santastrophe.md) - [Human-Made Car Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-coded-love-letter.md) - [Warm Tech Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-friend-for-christmas.md) - [Comedic Christmas Parodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reinfell-ad.md) - [Vibrant Snowy Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/share-the-joy.md) - [Colorful Vivid Small Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiat-1.md)
