Icelandair’s ode to the kinda creepy Christmas cat

Iceland can be a wonderland and a mystery.

There are the elves and other supernatural “hidden people” whose well-being are embedded in Icelandic culture and beliefs.

And there’s a dark Christmas folklore that stars a menacing Yule Cat that, Icelandair reminds us, teaches people to work hard and give gifts by devouring anyone – especially children – who does not recieve new clothes for the holiday.

Harsh, right?

Icelandair has created a holiday video that features the Yule Cat and a young boy making friends. After a makeover for the cat, the pair go on a Christmas journey.

Take a look.

Austrian Airlines’ AI holiday song

You don’t really need any translation to catch the spirit of Austrian Airlines’ holiday music video.

It features a catchy AI-generated electro-pop song, but uses real airline employees as actors.
