The 2024 Los Angeles Dodgers holiday card features various clips to deliver a love letter to the past 62 seasons at Dodger Stadium, among other highlights.
Having no narrator for the video was a change from the past three seasons after Billie Jean King, Joe Davis, and Vin Scully provided voiceovers.
Like the 2023 Dodgers holiday card, this year’s version exclusively featured drone footage. But instead of focusing on holiday-themed drone shows, viewers are along for a journey through every nook and cranny of Dodger Stadium as the audio from the greatest moments in team history play in the background.

The video opens from the center field plaza, the newest addition to the 62-year-old venue, with legendary former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda giving the phrase he coined describing Dodger Stadium as “Blue Heaven on Earth.”
The video proceeds to guide the viewer through all of Dodger Stadium from the left field pavilion, to the Vin Scully Press Box, to the players’ tunnel and even the clubhouse. All the while the most impactful moments in Dodgers’ history plays in the background.
This includes both Kirk Gibson’s and Freddie Freeman’s respective walk-off World Series home runs, Clayton Kershaw becoming the Dodgers’ all-time strikeouts leader, Fernando Valenzuela’s no-hitter and much more.
So far, the Dodgers have not been as busy in free agency as they were last season when they committed more than $1 billion in salary. But they addressed their need for starting pitching with Blake Snell and have either re-signed or extended important pieces from their World Series roster.
However, there is still work to be done with Teoscar Hernández a free agent, and Roki Sasaki available as well.
Like 2024, the Dodgers will open next season overseas as they take on the Chicago Cubs in the Tokyo Series.
Their first game of the 2025 season at Dodger Stadium is against the Detroit Tigers on March 27.
Dodgers holiday card history
The Dodgers have been producing holiday cards for social media since at least 2012, but some are difficult to find as the links have expired. The first video posted directly onto social media was in 2015 and featured Scully narrating a Christmas-style children’s story about Justin Turner and Adrián González searching for Lasorda at the North Pole.
