DDB Group Italy signs the ITA Airways Christmas film

A poetic tale celebrating the value of the bonds that drive us to reach
the ones we love

Christmas is that time of the year when it is easiest to feel the urgent and vital need to reunite with those we love most. And there is no distance or feat that can prove too great: this is the magic of the holidays, an atmosphere that always knows how to give us the strength to achieve anything, and go anywhere.

It is with this spirit that ITA Airways lends its wings to let the magic of Christmas take off with a new story dedicated to the power of love – the starting point of the journeys that matter, as well as the protagonist of the 2025 Christmas campaign, online from December 15th across all the brand’s digital and social channels.

Miracle on the 34th Branch”: this is the title of the film conceived by DDB Group Italy and produced by Karen, which centers on two gingerbread cookies in love who, separated and ending up in two different and distant houses, will do everything to find each other again. A small, universal story in which each of us can recognize ourselves, especially at Christmas, and through which ITA Airways confirms once again that the most special journey is the one that brings us to those who truly matter to us.
