Kyra & Constantin Mix a Little Magic for Migros

Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2025

The latest holiday spot from Passion Animation directors Kyra Buschor and Constantin Paeplow for Swiss retail giant Migros (produced thru Agency Wirz Werbung AG), weaves live action and CG into a warm and fuzzy tale of food and family.

Kyra & Constantin: “It’s an honor to once again be trusted with this essential part of Christmas. We know audiences have grown to love Finn and his family, it was a pleasure to tell another emotional chapter in their story.

“This time directing the live action and working with the PASSION Studio on the animation, we’re thrilled with the way each year we get to add more detail to the world, learn more about the characters and connect with audiences as a part of their own traditions”
