Gizmo Makes an Appearance in New Christmas Commercial from McDonald’s! [Video]
You’re not the only cute one on television anymore, Grogu.
It’s been a long time since we last hung out with Gizmo, with the Gremlins franchise never waning in popularity but nevertheless lying dormant since the release of Gremlins 2: The New Batch way back in 1990. That all changes next year with HBO Max’s animated series “Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai,” but how about a little reunion with Gizmo… right now?
McDonald’s is celebrating the holidays this year with a “Free Daily Holiday Deals” promotion, with free daily deals available on their app with a $1 purchase. The promotion runs until December 24th, Christmas Eve, and the commercial for the promotion imagines what the McDonald’s meals of iconic pop culture characters in the holiday sphere would look like.
Buddy the Elf, for example, would probably order pancakes and drown them in syrup, while the Griswolds would be ordering for the whole family. And the commercial even features an appearance from Gizmo, who briefly emerges from a backpack to snatch some nuggets!
More from Gizmo real soon. For now, this will have to hold you over.

Calling all Crewmates! Paramount+ announced today the surprise premiere of its new original animated series Among Us, which was unveiled live at Summer Game Fest.
Created by Owen Dennis and produced by CBS Studios and Innersloth, all ten episodes of Among Us are now available to stream exclusively on Paramount+.
The series follows “a group of eccentric, monochromatic Crewmates of a ship transporting junk across the galaxy who must root out an Impostor in their midst before they fall victim to its villainous designs.”
It’s based on the globally popular multiplayer social deception game of the same name, which has been brought to life in the brand new trailer below.

- Phil LaMarr as “Brown”
- Randall Park as “Red”
- Dan Stevens as “Blue”
- Debra Wilson as “Yellow” and “Computer”
- Elijah Wood as “Green”
- Patton Oswalt as “White”
Animation studio Titmouse is behind the series.
Among Us became a global sensation in 2020, generating more than 4 billion views on YouTube and over 1.22 billion viewing sessions on Twitch. In October 2020 alone, it ranked #1 on Google Play in 66 countries and #1 on iOS in 55 countries, with Top 100 placements in nearly every market worldwide. The game is available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series.
