commercialised

Turned into product

Commercialised is the British spelling of commercialized—made into something designed to generate profit.

A commercialised holiday has become more about selling products than its original meaning: Christmas has become so commercialised.

The term often carries disapproval, suggesting that commercial interests have corrupted something once pure or authentic: The festival lost its soul once it got commercialised.
