I remember in the 90s seeing an action movie trailer where the joke was this super happy Christmas song is playing to footage of explosions and gunfire. I swore for the longest time ever that this was either the trailer for Die Hard or Die Hard 2 but watching them right now, while they both DO have Christmas songs they’re not “Most Wonderful Time Of the Year”.

Its also not recent, as when I looked up Wikipedia the only trailer they have listed as using it is Hawkeyes trailer which it definitely isn’t.

Any chance you’re thinking of “Jingle All the Way”? 1996 starring Arnold.

If you scan this list, you can see the actual movies it was in… But I’m not sure this includes trailers.
