Preppy For Preppy–Vampire Weekend For Tommy Hilfiger

It's hard to believe it's that time of year again for all things glitter and gold, naughty and nice, and great TV with special messages from their sponsors! If you're a fan of the television show Glee on Fox, you may have caught a glimpse of one holiday commercial in particular last night.

The spot I'm talking about is for the clothing and lifestyle brand Tommy Hilfiger. It features music by none other than preppy indie rock band Vampire Weekend. 

Known for bringing their pop-collared polos to college boys everywhere and placing the topsider in shoe stores nationwide, the partnership is a perfect fit for the line that brought preppy to American youth culture in the 90's.

The commercial features the fictional Hilfiger family having a holiday meal in the great outdoors:

Can't get enough? Vampire Weekend will be on the American Music Awards this Sunday night as a nominee for Favorite Alternative Rock Artist.

The song "Holidays" is  from the album Contra, in stores now.
