Katy Perry is featured in the new H & M holiday commercial campaign, and she’s as exciting to watch as Santa and his elves. Katy Perry dances–with elves, actually–and evokes so much excitement and cheer that you’ll think you’re visiting the North Pole.

Taking on a fairy-like persona, Katy Perry makes merry with toy soldiers and gingerbread men, too.

Advertising for H & M seemed natural for Katy Perry. She’s long been a fan of their affordable styles.

“I swear, I’m not pitching anything to you here, but when I was a teenager, we didn’t have a lot of money, and H&M really changed the game for me,” shesaid during a recent interview with Yahoo Style. “I would go to thrift stores and I would go to H&M, and I would put outfits together for myself, and feel like I looked like a hundred dollars when really, I’d spent maybe $30. And I can still do that now with their clothes!”

One of the singer’s favorite pieces from the H & M winter line is an “Elfie” sweater.

“It’s great! I loved that sweatshirt,” she said. “There are some really cute things in this campaign. Things I would have already worn in real life. And when I first heard ‘Elfie Selfie,’ I couldn’t stop laughing.”

Katy Perry even has some advice on gift giving for her fans.

“But like I said before, the girls I meet when I’m touring are smart. So the easy thing is, if you get a gift that isn’t quite your style, make sure you say ‘thank you’ anyway, because the person giving you a gift is always, always, more important than a present,” she said. “But you can set the gift aside, hopefully it still has tags attached, return it to the store when you get a chance, and pick out something you like more–maybe the Elfie sweatshirt!”

What do you think of Katy Perry in the new H & M holiday ad? Do you think you will ever get that song out of your head?

Is anyone else reminded a bit of Zooey Deschanel’s role in Elf when watching Katy Perry in this new ad?
