Fleetwood Mac’s 'Landslide' Inspires Lexus’ Multi-Generational Holiday Film

Fleetwood Mac’s 'Landslide' finds new life in Lexus’ emotional new holiday spot, 'Over the Years,' debuting this week as part of the brand’s iconic 'December to Remember' campaign.

The song sets the tone for a heartfelt story, tracing a daughter’s life through the eyes of her parents over decades of holiday mornings. Through its timeless lyrics and melody, 'Landslide' becomes the emotional heartbeat of the campaign, reminding audiences that luxury isn’t just what you drive, but the memories you create along the way.

The new film, developed in partnership with Team One, is part of a broader integrated holiday campaign rolling out this week that will highlight Lexus’ timeless connection to real families over the years.

It’s an approach reflective of a broader retail and marketing trend: audiences craving authenticity and emotional storytelling over polished perfection. In an era of instant gratification, Lexus slows things down, focusing on the quiet anticipation and nostalgia that make the holidays meaningful.

“As a parent, you see it every year during the Holidays. Your kids are older and more mature than last - and that makes you incredibly proud - but it also reminds you how quickly this all passes by if you don’t take stock of every moment,” said Jason Stinsmuehlen, executive creative director at Team One. “Working with Lexus and Director Justyna Obasi, we brought this bittersweet Christmas story to life in a way that transcends Holiday marketing and reminds us all to mark time in thoughtful ways with our loved ones. We hope this year’s December Sales Event is inspiring and can hopefully play a small part in holiday culture.”
