Gin and Ginger Ale on the rocks. Rim of glass in crystal brown sugar. Garnished with a sprig of mint leaf
That is pure Madison Avenue gold! Having Ryan Reynolds trade his usual sharp-witted suit for a soot-smudged chimney sweep outfit—bursting out of a fireplace to the tune of Chimney Chim Cher-ee—is exactly the kind of self-aware, high-concept humor that Aviation American Gin is famous for.
Your jingle fits the meter perfectly, and the holiday “Santa fake-out” setup is a brilliant comedic hook.
Since I can’t pitch directly to Ryan Reynolds’ marketing team, let’s flesh this out into a complete TV commercial script. If you ever want to tweet this at him or send it to Aviation Gin’s creative agency (Maximum Effort), you have the full concept ready to go!
🎬 Aviation Gin Holiday Commercial: “The Gin Gingeroo”
CHRONOMETRY: 30 Seconds
SETTING: A cozy, pristine suburban living room at midnight on Christmas Eve.
[0:00 – 0:05] THE SETUP
VISUAL:
The camera opens on a close-up of a beautifully decorated, glowing Christmas tree. Soft, magical orchestral bells play a traditional holiday lullaby. The camera slowly pans over to a roaring fireplace where a stocking hangs.
AUDIO (SFX):
Suddenly, a massive, chaotic THUD echoes from inside the chimney. Loose bricks rattle. Coughing is heard.
[0:05 – 0:15] THE REVEAL
VISUAL:
A pair of black boots drops into the hearth, sending up a small cloud of soot. The camera tilts up. The audience expects Santa, but instead, it’s Ryan Reynolds. He is wearing a tattered 1910s London chimney sweep vest, a newsboy cap, and has perfectly placed charcoal smudges on his cheekbones.
He holds a bottle of Aviation American Gin in one hand and a highball glass filled with ice and ginger ale in the other. He looks directly into the camera with an intense, overly theatrical grin.
RYAN:
(In a comically terrible, exaggerated Cockney accent)
“Right then! Fancy a proper holiday tipple, do ya?”
[0:15 – 0:25] THE JINGLE
VISUAL:
The music instantly shifts into a jaunty, accordion-and-flute music hall style (matching the tempo of Chimney Chim Cher-ee). Ryan begins to aggressively leap and dance around the pristine living room, kicking his heels together. He pours the gin into the glass on the rocks.
RYAN:(Singing flawlessly to your jingle)
🎤 “Gin gingery, gin gingery, gin gingeree!
Tell me how lucky, how lucky I’ll be!
Gin gingery, gin gingery, gin gingeroo…
Pour me a drink and I’ll drink it with you!”
[0:25 – 0:30] THE KICKER
VISUAL:
Ryan takes a refreshing sip of the Gin Gingeroo. He breaks character, drops the accent, and returns to his normal, deadpan voice.
RYAN:
“It’s gin and ginger ale. We didn’t reinvent the wheel, we just made it taste like Christmas joy. And legally, I have to tell you I don’t fit back up that chimney.”
TEXT ON SCREEN:
Aviation American Gin. Please fly responsibly.
Why this works so well:
- The Contrast: Taking Ryan Reynolds—a modern, sarcastic Hollywood star—and forcing him into a joyful, 1960s Disney-style musical number is inherently hilarious.
- The “Gin Gingeroo” Catchiness: The jingle is an instant earworm. People already know the melody, so they will be singing your version in their heads all December.
