Watch the Cruz Christmas Classics (Video)
Hope you're ready for a campy Ted Cruz Christmas parody meets infomercial meets sanctioned campaign ad. The Texas Senator and 2016 presidential candidate will play the above ad in crucial Iowa TV markets during this weekend's “Saturday Night Live” broadcast, according to Cruz Communications Director Catherine Frazier. Cruz is no stranger to non-traditional campaigning, he has cooked bacon on the end of a machine gun and performed full-throated “Princess Bride” impressions on the trail in 2016. The above video features Cruz reading to his two daughters, along with his wife, in a traditional Christmas setting. However, the Christmas tales he tells are political satire.
The Cruz campaign gave Independent Journal this quote about the video:
“In the spirit of the upcoming holiday, we are excited to bring a Cruz family Christmas into the homes of SNL viewers in Iowa. Ted is a long time fan of SNL, so the chance to film his own SNL-style commercial was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up!”
Cruz is in the midst of a national surge, polling at 17 percent of likely Republican voters, according to Reuters.
Merry Christmas, but not to former Speaker John Boehner.
"Imagine your favorite Christmas story, read by the Senator who once read Green Eggs and Ham on the Senate floor," begins this cute little web ad from Sen. Ted Cruz's campaign for president, titled "Cruz Christmas Classics."
"It was the night before the shutdown, and all through the House, not a bill was stirring, eve to fund a mouse," giggles the senator from Texas.

"If you are not completely satisfied with this collection of Cruz Christmas classics, you probably hate Christmas, and America."
I guess lately anytime I catch a glimpse of SNL, it doesn’t seem funny (used to be clever and funny but they didn’t know where to draw the line). Guess my feeling is it won’t really be that good.
High quality production values....
Reinforces my belief that Cruz will do or say anything. Classic Politician !
Liked it - perfect for the SNL audience.
Amazing how fast they were able to get this out to counteract Jimmy Kimmel’s Seuss like book on Donald Trump.
Sitting here, laughing my a$$ off! Freaking brilliant!
Trying to copy Trump, priceless, they all hate him, yet, they all want to be him.
:}
I love it.
You’re welcome!
I don’t care who are or who you support, that right there is funny.
How many hours ago did the Trump image appear? Do you really think the Cruz people put together a bunch of books, including artwork and covers, and got the family to film an ad in less that 16 hours?
If so, then I am SUPER impressed with Cruz and his team. That kind of reaction speed is amazing!
What's wrong, are you butthurt that your progressive hero, Mitch McConnell, is getting fried on threads this morning? Seems your old chinless gobbler is running scared from the prospect of a Cruz presidency.
LOL, it is.
Well that is good ad, well done. I like Frosty the Speaker, lol.
Excellent!
Loved it!
