Happy Holidays Message on iDrive

I didn’t get one last year, this year it’s back with a little video you can play. Turned up yesterday as a notification and it’s installed an app so you can repeat play if you like. Quite festive

I got that yesterday evening (UK) cool little touch I’m sure the kids will love it when I show them later!

Definitely, it’s quite a good demo of video on the screen and sound. Makes me think I don’t get enough value from the media capabilities of iDrive. Might have to put some films on a USB stick to try out

I also received one last month Thanksgiving Greetings

My kids love these. Embarrassed to say that I could not figure out how to retrieve these messages until this year. I missed out on all of the messages last year

It's a tile in the apps, the last tile

I received it 2 years ago, don't quite remember if I saw it last year, but certainly have not seen it this year unless it doesn't pop up... Haven't driven all that much the past few days tbh...

Even with the Thanksgiving video received this year, it said a Christmas video would come out, it didn't.
Somebody at BMW slacked off and never released it. No doubt like most things with BMW, a software problem (shocking).

I have not seen anything, is there a setting I am missing?
