From an elaborate Star Warsfantasy in a children's hospital to a touching cross-faith friendship,fingering videos people seem to prefer their ads tear-jerky this holiday season.
Analytics firm Ace Metrix released a list of the year's ten most well-received American holiday commercials on Wednesday based on survey data from more than 500 consumers.

The ad was accompanied by a charity drive to donate batteries to children's hospitals in need.
Amazon managed to squeeze two ads into the top five -- in second place, a poignant tale of the bond between a Muslim imam and an Anglican vicar that felt especially timely in today's political climate, and in the fifth spot, a goofier spot in which Seth Meyers and his brother Josh gorge on an advent calendar.
Below are the ten most well-liked holiday ads of the year:
While appeals to viewers' heartstrings won big this year, Ace Metrix found that more advertisers chose to target their pocketbooks; only six percent of the 362 ads considered made an emotional case, while the majority focused on deals and promotions.
Explicit references to Christmas were also fewer and further between than in past years, the firm said. Santa Claus only showed up in 12 percent of ads.
"These brands created brilliant ads with positive messaging reflecting the spirit of the season without being too heavy-handed,” Ace Metrix CEO Peter Daboll said in a statement.
As one might expect, retail shopping ads were the most common among the group, making up about half of the total.
This year's batch of ads was also surprisingly light on celebrities with only 2 percent leaning on stars.
