Etsy’s Holiday Ads Prove the Best Gifts Make You Feel Seen

Orchard Creative reimagines Little Drummer Boy in three interconnected stories

Etsy is leaning further into its positioning as the destination for thoughtful, personalized gifts with a new holiday campaign that highlights the power of feeling seen.

The work unfolds across three interconnected TV spots created by Orchard Creative.

The 60-second ad, “Drummer Boy,” reimagines the classic Christmas carol through the story of a young boy who can’t stop tapping—on his desk in class, on a soccer goal post, even while crossing the street. His parents worry about the habit until his teacher helps channel it, gifting him a set of drumsticks in a custom pouch.

Characters from that spot take center stage in companion 30-second ads.
