Holiday or New Year Greeting in iDrive?

Has anyone seen a holiday or New Year's greeting in iDrive yet? I was kind of expecting to see something like we saw at Halloween in the car.

Nope, I thought the same but nothing.

Weirdly I didn’t. I did, however, see an advertisement online saying we’d be getting one. I guess the Grinch stole Christmas! 😄

LOLOL - honestly after the Halloween one, I was very much of the mindset “OK BMW, you can stop trying quite so hard here”

Nope and am very happy about it. Perhaps they discontinued them. About time, fits right in with all the other cost cutting BMW is doing to stay profitable.

I didn't get one either. But in all honestly I did not drive my car either on Christmas or New years.

Came here wondering the same thing today. Was hoping for another silly video to share. Haven't seen anything yet here in the US.

Yeah, it's kind of cheeky, but it's always kind of neat. The mix of the ambient lighting is nice touch. I know in the US we don't get the Christmas greeting, but I've had the New Year video for a few years back to my X5.
