Due to copyright regulations, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer will not be shown. Somehow, Pepsi-Cola corp et. al. don't mind us re-airing their Yulesploitation ads from 1991:
I would like to know whether the good folks of 1991 would actually buy four 2L bottles of 7up just so they could ~save five dollars~ on a $25 Game Boy game that seems like blatant 7up propaganda. In the interests of authenticity, the makers of this reel included the commercial breaks as they were, so prepare to get pissed off by those same recurring ads you hated in 1991!
Just scroll to about 4:00 for the "Vanilla Ice Rides into a Deadly Wall of Fire" Circus of the Stars promo. Not making this up. SPOILER ALERT: HE SURVIVES.

I now have to figure out whether I want a VHS copy of that for Christmas, or if I should just demand that that stunt be recreated by Vanilla Ice himself in my back yard.
