The NBA is promoting its slate of games on Christmas Day by remixing a classic commercial, Jingle Hoops, from over a decade ago.

It was 2013 when the original version of this ad debuted and it is just as amazing now as it was then. While it featured those terrible t-shirt jerseys that fortunately didn't last in the NBA, it remains a classic core memory from that era of basketball.

The original ad featured Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, James Harden, and Steve Nash shooting to the tune of Jingle Bells before LeBron James dunked. It rocked.

Meanwhile, the new version still features Durant and Curry with appearances by LeBron.

But it also features Jayson Tatum and Luka Doncic as the new shooters.

Victor Wembanyama also appears, as do: Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brunson, and Tyrese Maxey. We also get an apparance from Nikola Jokic, who is riding a sleigh like a horse chariot.

NBA on ABC's Mike Breen and ESPN's Malika Andrews have brief cameos as well.

The animated version of this ad is just as fun as the original in many ways!
