Ahead of Super Bowl Sunday on Feb. 9, companies have dropped first-looks at the biggest day in advertising.

Check out a mix of the new spots below.

Budweiser Super Bowl commercial stars a new Clydesdale foal

The iconic beer company unveiled two early Super Bowl teaser trailers that confirm the Clydesdale hitch is back in the game this year with its smallest Super Bowl star in over a decade -- a Clydesdale foal.

The clip comes on the heels of Anheuser-Busch's Super Bowl ad spots announcement last week, showing a glimpse of what fans can expect in Budweiser's spot.

The teaser opens with the Clydesdale hitch geared up and ready to leave the brewery to make a Budweiser delivery. Then, the camera pans to something smaller, a pair of ears that belong to the foal, which flick toward the screen before the end card, which reads, "Coming Super Bowl LIX."

Stay tuned for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look and more of the ad on "Good Morning America" on Jan. 27.

Hellmann's Super Bowl ad hints at '80s rom-com deli scene

With the popular mayonnaise brand's return to the Big Game comes a 20-second teaser that dropped Thursday for this year's ad.

Set inside the iconic Katz's Deli in New York City -- the same location where Meg Ryan's character famously prompted a fellow patron to utter, "I'll have what she's having" -- the teaser reveals a waitress reading out a highly particular sandwich order.

In the new clip shared with "GMA" (and now on YouTube), the order is read back to unidentified customers: "So, it's one turkey on rye, but only if it's fresh," the waitress begins. "If it's not fresh, then on white bread, but then it's toasted."

"Two whole lettuce leaves, paper thin tomatoes, one sour pickle sliced lengthwise, so every bite has a bit of pickle, and some Hellmann's mayonnaise," she adds, with the game-changing twist to put the condiment on the side.

Following the exchange, some bars of "It Had to Be You" play over the phrase "Feb. 9, 2025," the date for the big game.
