In Oreo's First Holiday Ad in 5 Years, Cookie-Stealing Parents Land On Santa's Naughty List

The funny campaign was created by Colin Jost's No Notes Productions

If you’re planning to leave cookies out for Santa, they better be Oreos. And any parents who steal them are going on the naughty list.

That’s the message, loud and clear, in the Mondelēz-owned brand’s first holiday campaign in five years.

Developed by No Notes Productions, the agency founded by comedian, Saturday Night Live writer, and longtime Weekend Update co-anchor Colin Jost, “Santa’s Favorite Cookie” puts an Oreo-shaped twist on the timeless tradition of leaving a snack for Old Saint Nick.

At its heart is a 30-second film, in which a dad sneaks a bite of an Oreo left out for Santa Claus.
