Gap Kids Holiday Ad - "Cool It Now"

[Alexanderchrisk]

Best Holiday Gap commercial everrrrr

[kewkabe]

racist... they turn the black kid into a white kid at 00:18 for the skating part.

[kascnef82]

I remember this ad when I was young. Great ad.

[igotsthefire]

It might sound hella cheesy, but back then in the 90s I wanted to be a GAP KID so bad, that I even practiced the choreography of this commercial every single time it came on.

[F5G6H5]

hahaha i was in the 5th grade when this came out still my fav commercial

[TopHatFritz]

I remember this commercial back when I was a kid. The memories...

[mulamakinReek86]

What year this commercial came out?

[crysjumar1]

sweet

[titanicsbiggestfan]

i <3 Gap commercials :)

[nerdwithhat]

reminds me of a telus ad

[Hersheyhug28]

This is crazy! These kids in the commercial are in like college now....if they were able to pay for it..where has time gone?...::sigh:: I'm going to bury my sorrows in Ben & Jerry's Snickerdoodle.

[hemanshera777]

wasn't there a GAP commercial that also featured the "Ice Baby" song too?

[SgtPlmFry]

@hemanshera777

Yeah they one called Trees and another called Mountains; they were the ones with the adults. :-)

[kierredestiny2]

@hemanshera777

yes, they called them "Trees" & "Mountains"....those ones have the adults =)

[bettyrose420]

gap commercials were the hippest of them all in the 90s lol

[FrootLoop246]

OMG, I loved this commercial when it came out haha. i just liked the cool it now part...first time i ever heard the song, then found my sister's record of it. haha. really really good memories!! :)

[quanmillion23]

NICE!

[ImErnaNaresa]

SO CUTE!

[dede3190]

Totally one of my fav! It's weird that myself and other find old commercials very amusing from childhoold. I LOVE It!!! I thought i was the only one....

[JuLiEwo0t]

this was my favorite commercial of the holidays that year. still remembered it to this day!

[cracksoup]

this was my favorite commercial when i was a kid

[JASONFIED]

Very cool and memorable commercial, and one of the only ones to get me in the holiday spirit back then...too bad we don't have creativity like this anymore...

[247xGAMER]

put this commercial back on the air!!!! or make a new one!! this was the best

[Gegray]

I miss the 90's. I guess the imagination died there and I wish it comes back.

[Doron101]

I remember this when I was younger. I'm 25 now but I remember the days like tomorrow was going to be a great day.

I guess now as I get older and move forward the more I look back.

[F5G6H5]

@Doron101 me too

[cougarfighting]

anyone know where the one that goes "come on come on" is at?

[Prettykendra10]

Aww I love this, it's so cute!!!

[tgkeira]

I was 10 when this ad came out, and even then I knew it was good.

[underlinedbluetext]

Gap was cutting edge in the 90's as far as advertising goes.

There are a lot of similarities with todays apple commercials.

[gays2smile]

Gap ran an amazing Christmas commercial campaign in 1998. I was 27 and had my first real job and everything, in retrospect, was A LOT of fun. The late 90s were one of the most carefree times of plenty that we are unlikely to ever see again. The Dow Jones Industrial Average crossed the 10,000 mark 10 years ago. And here we are again, at 10,000, but no longer living the Age of Abundance. Too good to be true, it turns out. But it warms my heart seeing these signs of the times.

[Gegray]

You took the words out of my mouth. How I miss the 90's

[mangarda]

@gays2smile The 90's were a great time for people who were in the workforce at that time, because the economy was so good. I was in middle school so I remember being afraid of school shootings (remember columbine?), gang violence, the Y2K bug, etc. You have to take the good with the bad...The 90's was very prosperous and people had a lot of money, but it was also a scary time in a lot of ways. And I think that today, we're paying the price for the grossly excessive lifestyle we lived back then.

[nitedragon209]

oooh man it's take me back (i wish i can go back)

[Bmarce11]

Oh man I remember this ad. Love it.

[SibGirl01]

Woah-I feel old.

[ogarturo4]

gap is fucken gay!!!!!!!

[Taycute1]

omg i remeber this i use to pretend i was the kids in the commercial

[SuperAdventures]

1999 Holiday season, man how time flies. =(

I remember anticipating getting the then-new Sega Dreamcast that Christmas. I was 12 then and am 22 now. I think I can speak for many when I say that DAMN do I miss the 1990's.

Great, memorable ad BTW. Still stuck in my head after 10 years. Wish I could find that hip re-mix of "Sleigh Ride" that plays in this commercial.

[clarkbell]

I do miss the 60's (not early 60's)

[Bleak]

Damn, I started to cry in the middle of this. Weak, I know, but yeah, I was a 90s kid. I miss those days.

[llamaking5]

I know what you mean! The 90's were just awesome :-D It's been an age old question of mine to ask "What happened?" It was like one day, suddenly, all the fun and the "cool" just left. I miss those days too...

[bubblebath88]

AHHHH!!!! this was my FAVORITE!!! i was like 10 i think when this came out...omg...memories...i wanted to be in this commercial lols...

[solay126]

BEST GAP COMMERCIAL EVER!!

[koldkalibur82]

Tightest gap kids and christmas commercial ever!!! I loved the instrumental of that xmas song. The kids version of the gap christmas series was the best out the three versions that year.

[FatalNFelony07]

im back once again!! everytime i look at this commercial, i think about the past. my old house where i saw it at. i miss the 90's and early 2000 alot

[freshPrincess626]

[FatalNFelony07]

[peachking86]

[radcliff2002]

[HoxsieQ31]

[P2492]

I miss my 90's Christmas memories!!!

[candyexcitement]

[fearthedreadlox]

damn I want one where the guys are singing "you really got me" the girls do one too but there's is more rocky.

[diddygt]

dammit! can anyone say nostalgia?!

...simpler times, man.

...simpler times.

[barber747]

Much of this decade has been utter shit. Let's hope and pray, for the sake of all mankind, sanity, and humanity, that the 2010s end up feeling like or being as reminiscent of the 1990s!!!

[liteskinhunnie]

i've been looking for this version...man, i woulda loved to have been in this commerical...my fave part is at :25!&hearts;

[Alyn08]

I liked this one better than the other holiday special. I just love that New Edition song that added to the mix.

[BJ360]

I remember this from when I was five!!!!!

[nbakram]

i still remember this from 1999 xmas that year was great

[Zaghareet87]

Me too. Lol! I loved the 1999 Holiday ad campaigns from Gap.

[kramer362]

their clothes are ok but they have the coolest ads of anyone, michael gondry is a genius

[idraone]

I love this cinematography - They got this Technique from Michel Gontry.

[foamythesquirrel5]

I think it's from 2001 this was the only commercial I liked.

[imnotokay1289]

I remeber watching recess in 6th grade and seeing this commercial all the time

[mprou88]

I'm pretty sure it's from like late 1999 or early 2000, because I remember when I started Jr High at this new school and the 7th graders were singing it and talking about it before the bell rang to go inside the building in the morning..lol

[mprou88]

I remember this from 6th grade!! lol

[TheRocketHero]

Oooh I remember this commercial <3 It was always my favorite

[karamoo1996milford]

Sweetness!

[subxeon]

[AndrosianAnguish]

synchronized skating. YAY!!!!

[JAFedele]

This was by far my favorite Gap Holiday Commercial ever! I love how it goes back into Sleigh Ride at the end! I believe its from 2000-2001

[Hoddersrevenge]

Yh. Anyone know what year its from?

looks like it's from 01 or 02.

[BUSTLEBUTT]

Best holiday Ad campaign from the Gap...ever!

[spencer21monroe]

[lakersr2cool]

how old is this commercial? i kinda remember it, just don't remember the year it came out.

[igotsthefire]

i looked forward to these gap holiday commercials...loooveed them!

[jerseydevilxx]

The commercial was the reason I started to shop at the GAP. Also the Mellow Yellow one

[In2TheRoses]

This commercials reminds me of how awesome Christmas was as a kid...

[Desiderus]

Now if I could find the kid Holiday/Christmas boys version where they were dancing to Jackson 5 "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus". It was much better than the girl version that year.

[meowkie]

I remember this commercial! I loved it. The motion transitions and the music and all. XD

[Jhon1234567]

this was a damn good commercial

[radcliff2002]

hell yeah

[vanessaboy7532]

the new edition sample is great...could have been a little smoother though.

[funkydude101]

awesome remix again. I like the older one i think from 2000 where they remix jingle bells.

[meowkie]

I liked that one too. I wish it was on YouTube. T_T
