Around the same time last year BMW released ‘the fastest Christmas card in the world,’ a clip which depicted an artist illustrating a card while strapped in an M5 driven in anger by a BMW precision driver. Needless to say, the result was a little… haphazard.

This year things get a bit more musical – or at least try to. Same Circuit de L’Anneau du Rhin, but the machine’s an M135i and the passengers are a quartet from the Zurich Acapella Group, attempting to sing Jingle Bells while BMW DTM driver Martin Tomczyk shows them oh what fun it is to ride in a 320 hp hot hatch. Expect a lot of squealing – and not just from the tyres.

Mercedes-Benz AMG have joined in the festive spirit too – check out their Christmas video of ‘the world’s most expensive cookie oven.’
